Hey guys, I was basically pondering something because of my friend who played WoW. he just gave it up because he said they ruined it (i think he meant with the expansion or something). I sounds like things are easy and imbalanced or something. I got me thinking, if a WoW fan can just give it up like that because of something new affecting it, should i be worried about Diablo 3? i was just curious what was "wrong" with WoW now, if anyone knew and if it could be a similar problem in D3. I just hate to think that diablo will be killed (not that it will be, but its possible).

WOW isnt ruined.....its just made better for the more casual audience(which is where most of there income is coming from right now)....I guess its sorta ruined for the truly hardcore raiders like I once was....a good amount of my old buddies are pissed off at how easy the raids are...they still paly tho :P....I doubt you will see this in D3 until the expac comes out or some major patch comes out like 1.10 in D2....then people will always be talking about the old days and how much better ti was....happens with EVERYTHING and every game and pretty much anything else you can think of...

qft, very good post i agree.
i think people just get so used to a game and then when its been changed it feel foreign and alien. in diablo 2 though its awesome i really no complaints about the game at all... literally. other than i wish there was another difficulty setting that made it harder.

Yeah that would be sweet....even if it just made the creatures 100% more life and damage and gave them better chances to drop elites and runes would make me actually wanna PVM some...the is seriously far to easy lol unless its hardcore in hell baal or something
well even then the only way you die basically in HC is if u lag or u get iron maidened.... or some other weird combination of gay.. lol
Yeah true enuff....but from what I saw when my buddies were levleing up on a new ladder restart on HC it could get hard sometimes to not die...espically in pubs with nut cases who have hacks or just know how to trick ya....ppl always say ohhhhh only lvl with friends but even then shit happens....but yeah its not THAT hard by any means
Alot of people complained with LoD. Remember how people thought it was cheap how your stash gets doubled? Also, everybody thought the sin was OP. But then 1.10 came along ;P
The balancing of any game with longterm RPG in its core is hard.
Agreed, Indescribably hard.
Personally I don't think that is going to happen to D3, so I would not be worried. From what I can gather, Diablo III is going to spank WoW in every way. While there is no way to be absolutely certain, I have no doubt in my mind you will find yourself playing D3 Years after it's release, and you will still say "wow, this game still kicks ass"
Have no worries my friend, D3 is gonna blow you socks assbackwards. (lol no spelling error on assbackwards wtf)

3. The casual player base keeps asking for nerfs on all corners of the game. People have spent days and weeks getting an achievement, then it gets nerfed so everyone can have it. I don't see how a system that is supposed to reward players should work if all the achieving is made easier for those who can't achieve it. I don't get a payraise at work just for sympathy reasons
This is something that drove me insane when people talk about a casual wow player. Why does casual and easy always have to be assosiated together???? Hell if i could of been a casual in wow when i played and raided I would of been(I was to addicted tho lol)......casual gamers must really suck tho cuz my god even the hardest bosses in wow arent that hard by any means....the only hard thing about any raid was not getting idiots that died on important bosses like archy and c thun and actually learned there roles...that was seriously the only difficult part of the game lol...but I guess idiots make up the majority of most online games

I agree completely, when too many people (a) cant find the time to play a great game, (b) complain the game is too difficult because they do not want to learn how to get better at the game even though they play for long periods of time, then Blizz just decides to nerf things until these types of people can play the game. It hurts the game and the player base(small %) that actually take the time play the game and learn how to play it correctly.
I still wish raids were 40 man, I might still be playing. Atleast with that you could drag some of the idiots through the raid and still have difficult content, unlike it is becoming now.
