How many people dislike World of Warcraft including the pay2play system, the graphics and in the game in general?
I'm aware that some diablo fans are also wow fans. I just want to know how many of them there are.
Personally, I dislike wOw because it's just a suck-up with crap graphics and an art style that would appeal to kiddies only, but that's just me.
And i do really think that the art direction of diablo 3 has been negatively influenced by th commercial success of WoW.
I would love if a more evil, gritty and sinister atmosphere was implemented by Blizzard but let's be honest it's not gonna happen.
Blizzard do not really care about the fans of diablo 2 that made diablo 2 a success and world-famous. What they care about is making money on the heads of their fans, even if it means that their game experience wll never be at par with that of diablo 2.
Nobody here hates/dislikes WoW.
There is a place for both WoW and Diablo imo.
But they should be separate.

WoW is like crack, and like crack should be banned... haha just kidding.
It's ok, I don't hate it. But it doesn't fill the same void that Diablo 2 left.

whats wrong with wow? obvousily you are just hating for the sake of hating. 10 million accounts have been made on wow. im sure there doing something right. i gave it a try... its a good game, i just felt to was to pve oriented. and im a pvp person.
I'm a Blizzard fanboy, I like everything they put out. I'm currently playing WoW and have been since before release but when D3 comes out WoW is going bye bye for good.
I hate WoW, I didn't always though... For like 2 years I played that game on and off, mostly with family. For an MMO it's not bad I don't think, it's more the fact I hate MMO's nowadays now that I really see them for what crap they are.
I don't think wow and diablo 3 can be compared, even though both are RPGs.
Diablo is hack and slash, less thinking more slaughter, tests reflexes, you don't need that much knowledge about the game to be able to play it - that's the point (I don't mean more complex stuff like trading, making items). The battles are fast and ... fun
While in wow you can't even get to lvl 5 unless you lose time to read what you have to do in all the quests, search for mobs, items, etc. And that's the charm of wow, all the searching, the long battles, working in teams of 20-30-40 ppl to defeat bosses.
But both games can be fun, it all depends on you own personality and style

I quit WoW about a year ago. I loved the mage class, but class imbalance is a huge issue in that game.

But, to slam a game with 9-10 million players (monthly subscribers) says that they've done something right.
Please let us know what game you have developed and sold with this level of a dedicated fan-base.
Disclaimer: Played every Diablo (and expansions) made. Played WoW for about 2 years.
The point is to show that how much diablo fans do not like the wowish art direction that diablo 3 has taken and world of warcraft in general.
Don't bother posting in here if you don't like the topic i created.
Stop spamming with one liners like what's the point lol

If you have only played WoW, you would probably think it's great b/c you don't have a really good game of similar genre to compare it to.
I think there are far more people who will love the game- than those who are crying about the new changes.
Diablo 2 was by far better than Diablo.
Diablo 3 (I hope) will be better than Diablo 2.
Change is good. The sooner you except change- the happier you will be.

Good luck, and let's hope d3 comes out asap
I don't mind the art design or graphics. It fits the WoW model. What I hate about WoW is the linear game play and the monotony behind it.
I'm sad to see that Blizzard has taken the Art Design of WoW and the texture for skins and models and have placed them in D3.
