Think about what they did to WoW over 8 years, they basically did the same to D3 inside 6 months.

Well, I'm not sure how they could have dumbed down D3 any more than it already was. Considering their approach to WoW and making it supposedly easier to maintain by simplifying things to a great extent, I'm guessing the bean counters (read: the guys from Activision management) have solidified their position at Blizzard. Sadly, while it makes immediate sense to stockholders assuming the subs hold to the same levels, it does NOT make sense to the growth of the game (or whatever Titan turns out to be). 
While I'm on the subject of Titan, I can't imagine it will be any more complex than WoW is today, especially considering the early impact of WoW's current business strategy on the Titan team's design decisions.

I agree with this entirely. While I would much prefer a deeper MMO experience, I don't see management signing off on changing the Golden Goose formula one iota.

-I doubt Blizzard gives two s**ts about Guild Wars 2 as far as Diablo 3 is concerned.
-Removing PVP Arenas in a non-PVP game is a big deal? The game isn't even being balanced for PVP so who cares about it.
-Would you rather they gutted the skills in the game after release?

Don't be ridiculous, nothing is perfect. But the game was a hell of a lot more fun for me before the last two major changes.

So, which game has no pvp?
because that removes any urge I might have had to play it...

Don't rely on that, IMO. Blizzard devs are like the weather in Texas. If you don't like it, wait a few hours and it'll change.

There will be eventually, when they put it back it.
But D3 PvP was entirely consensual and *shouldn't* have any affect on the PvE aspect. It was just some battle arena you took your character into.

You wont be let down.
I just finished an hour session on patch 15 and I love it. They upped the difficulty significantly from patch 13. I almost *gasp* died! Several times.

That is very good news indeed. After you posted your thread and screenshots a few weeks back I ended up buying the annual pass to get the game for free. Not that my money would be wasted because either way it is still a year of game time plus guaranteed beta spot for MOP, but I really want to enjoy D3 too!
I hope they release it several months before MOP so I have a game to play while waiting on the xpac. I won't play anything past the panda starting area in the beta (just to test the monk and the awesomesauce that is the panda, of course)
