They both enhance gameplay experience for the player.
Its also an investment. My friend spent $500 in D3 so he can use the items to farm in inferno faster. He sold over $1000 so far. For him ,its a "summer job" lol. This was pre-patch though so I dont know how well he is doing now

Oh I'm aware of buying expansions and DLC packs in many games. Most of the time though these skins and packs are just a few bucks here and there. It's just that it was never this "mainstream" where it's basically like an in-game eBay... and I'm still in awe that I sold one ITEM, a pair of pants, 1 measly piece of equipment out of 11 possible slots, for $55!...

Then there are the other "gamers" who spend countless hours trying to "buy low, sell high" in the AH ... lol at these people ... it's like low-end stocks for kids ... training to hit up Wall Street?
Ridiculous ...
