On Tuesday, Blizzard rolled out patch 1.08 which, among other things, increased the amount of gold you could put up on the Auction house to 10 million. While that in itself reduced the ever dropping value of gold, it also contained a bug that if players were to list 10 million and remove it they actual received double the amount back. Once this got out players went crazy duplicating trillions of gold, buying out high priced item and drastically driving up prices in general.
One more reason to play Path of Exile..

Wrong. The developer got directly a job offer from Turbine, few hours after the bug was known.
Usually it is called headhunting, in Turbine jargon this is called "feather hunting"

The proceeds made through the game's real money auction house by the suspended or banned players will be given to the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. This includes the player's sale proceeds and Blizzard's transaction fees.

It's just like what Turbine did with the OneFund. Except not shady and dishonest.
Yay Blizzard.

Blizzard is a big company that makes a LOT of money. They can afford to do the right thing.
Turbine however...

One way to make money is by doing things right.
Turbine has chosen a different path.

For all their faults, Blizzard has always been very serious about customer service.

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that. I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.
