If this is anything like Diablo 2, gold will end up worthless by the time an expansion releases. Hope players have some luck if/when the RMAH for items comes back up. It will be near-impossible to beat the farmer sites like d2legit.com and so on.

As long as people use the gold auction house the 15% cut will keep inflation in check.
No point in Gold Sellers anymore, so hopefully they'll fuck off. I don't think anyone wants to go through hoops and shady websites and then waiting to trade and shit to save $1 on virtual currency

They'll just undercut Blizzard to the extreme. To put it into perspective, last time I played International Ragnarok Online, you could buy a stack of 10 something from the cash shop for like $1 and the stack could be sold in a player shop if it was unused. A stack of 10 had like a 20 million in game money value. The Gold Sellers were advertising 100 million in game money for $1. If they really delivered or if it was(most likely) an attempt to get account info is up for debate, but they still were grossly undercutting, and it will happen in Diablo 3.
Heh, the RMAH gold actually came out? I'm honestly surprised.
Apparently gold farmers have been exploiting the game for a while now farming crazy amounts of gold. BBC even wrote an article on it.

There is botting, but that really doesn't affect gold as much as you would think.
