You think that thread has over 200 replies over 2 years because it is a non-issue? You think they're at the ten year mark since D2 because they are in a hurry to compete with WoW?
I don't remember trying to give any numbers or anything. Yeah, 200 replies over 2 years is extremely SMALL by the way. Its meaningless. Lots of people are "bored by WoW". If they are still playing it, why would D3 stop them? Quite a few in there also says that they will play both.. or might just play D3 more for a while and come back to WoW.
You think that topic is some sort of proof that people will leave for D3? Well news flash, of COURSE some people will decide to leave at that point. No one is denying that. But I'm sure the people they lose from WoW to D3 will be such a big loss, right? Because nobody that plays WoW right now will play both? Nobody that doesn't play WoW will play D3?
Just don't try to throw shitty topics against me trying to tell me my argument is weak, yours is no better when it comes down to it, and this isn't even what its about. No one here can have the numbers and what I say is what I fucking believe using common sense, and its not the absolute truth. And I say it again: believing that D3 would be a financial loss because it would steal from WoW or believing it could be a WoW killer are absolutely ridiculous claims.

Numbers? Of course not, Jake. We wouldn't expect you to deal with something besides emotions and impressions.
Here are two numbers, Jake - 1.3 billion and over 100. The first is the dollars (American) WoW revenues in a year. The second is the number of months since Lord of Destruction shipped. Good luck with that math - personally I think the conclusion is easier than 2 + 2 = 4.
Again, the grpahics are scaled down to lower Pc reqs. They could add a slider for graphics but then they are still having to develop these graphics. Yes, they are different departments but two things. One, the money spent on the graphics team can be spent elsewhere to optimize gameplay over graphics. Two, Because it is a seperate team, that means that department takes all of that work and increases development time for the game.
If graphics are your biggest concern for a game, then play games that focus on graphics. blizzard and Diablo are not for you then. They will not be increasing their graphics to match current games.
LMAO.
I never said graphics are my biggest concern.
I am a diablo fan, just like you. and have played every single blizzard game ever, just like you probably have. You are no better than I nor are you more worthy to play d3 than i am.
Save costs? Put money towards other things? Increase development time?? Dude, this has been in development for SEVEN YEARS. I dont think they really give a crap how long or how expensive this game is going to take, because they want to do it right. However, not taking advantage of advances in technology IMO is a mistake.
Keep defending blizzard all you would like. its pretty funny.
Is it just me, or do a lot of these posts follow a similar structure:

Anyway... I vote for this thread's closure, as it's obviously gone downhill with too much trolling, and not enough real evidence to support OP's remark.

Saying 'This thread is ridiculous' is not trolling.
Regardless, yes, this seems to be what 8 out of every 10 posts on this forum are and yes this thread should be closed. It should have been closed before it got past one page worth of comments.
Edit: Whew! Thanks to Whirlwind for providing proper context for the classifying of 'trolling'.

2) Judging the D3 dev team by the SC2 dev team is ridiculous
3) This thread is ridiculous
