With the increased repair costs you will actually lose money by opening barrels, chests etc. Lower chance of good items and lower gold in barrels, chests etc.
The AH and RMAH is the only reason they would lower drops like this. They're trying to stop people making easy gold which will ruin the economy. Increased repair costs are also a result of Blizzard wanting more people to use the RMAH. With people not being able to accumulate gold easily anymore (due to increased repair costs and lack of good items/gold in barrels and chests) they will be forced to buy stuff on the RMAH.
You're the guy who doesnt even have the game right? Waiting for the offline modes from alternative sources?
Anyway, how does increasing repair costs but at the same time increase item drop rates from mobs, force people to go to RMAH?
