I agree with the whole idea of 'the higher the difficulty, the better the loot'.
Would be so nice to grind it out, starting at normal, going all the way to whatever they might call it in D4
Yeah, it really makes the D3 seasons somewhat dull and lifeless when you have all the loot you need in the first week or 2 of the season, and the rest of the season is just about better rolled versions of the same item. There really isn't the "I got this new piece of uberloot which will change my build" type of decision making in D3. You just farm for the items you need for the build you want, because they are all going to drop soon enough if you know how to farm, use kadala, and use the cube to craft.
But that would likely require a major change in monster mechanics, game play, CC abilities, healing, etc. Essentially, the game would have to become more MMO like.
Which is why D4 is probably a better move than D3 expansion. So much really has to change to make the end game more compelling, and not just a +5 mainstat grindfest, as well as a Fish for GRs until you get that 1 in a 1000 GR so you can set a record. The endgame of D3 as it stands has all the fun of a slot machine, waiting for RNG payoff, while all the fun is in the early and mid game where there is still real progression in terms of gear and skills. There is a reason D3 is a ghost town a few weeks after the start of a season.
So now we know that HC toon can rise from the dead! If you whine too much and have 100k subs on twitch.
Actually, at least Quin didn't seem to push that, it's more like the community wanted Blizz to "rez him". But we will never know what happened between Quin and Blizz off stream.
Yeah, that's a PR thing on their part. They supplied the gear, it failed LIVE and everyone saw it. I don't have a problem with that. Not a huge Quin fan but hell, I felt sorry for him.
What was confirmed today on twitch? This:"BlizzCon will be really cool this year :-)" ...What confirmed that? Nothing.He could be announce everything, from starcraft, hots, every single game that blizzard have. He not confirmed nothing. Just some hype to make some money from the virtual tickets.
Basically, it's confirmation to the same folks that were convinced that Quin going to Gamescom was a sure sign that there was going to be a D3 expansion or a D4 announcement at Gamescom.

They would not respond to a Diablo specific post if it was not related to diablo, per normal Blizzard PR style. That is not rocket science to figure out, when asked something about specifics, Blizzard stays quite if nothing is planned.
Hence the 100,000 plus tweets about announcements at Gamescom that went UNANSWERED!!!
I would preface all of this however with "Do not get your hopes up to high!" Although something will certainly be talked about and unveiled, do not set expectations to high, or you are only harming yourself in the end. Learn moderation in all thing, and EVERYTHING becomes better.
It's entering maintenance phase, just like D2 eventually did.
I wouldn't mind if D3 entered maintenance mode, IF they first made all the sets perform within say 20% of each other (rather than one set being 30 times stronger than all the others.) Balance is better than it's ever been in a Diablo game but there are a lot of really easy changes they could do to even things out before dumping the game entirely.
Since they didn't do that last patch though and saying it wasn't the priority, yet for some reason going to a ton of effort to make a lot of new items and then making them completely useless, who knows what they're thinking.

do you guys wait anything for today? any announcement or something?
we got nothing so far from Blizz, while all of its game got something.
