Well i dont care if you read my posts or not and i wrote it on my phone so i cba to break it up. Anyway the fight itself is awsome, getting rewarded properly is more awsome. It would be like saying pve without rewards would be awsome. It wouldnt. Climbing ranks, perhaps getting pvp dedicated Vanity items, pvp dedicated colors and titles would be freakin sweet. That would make the game live for a very very Long time and it gives People something to fight for.
If there are no rewards, no ranking or any competetive Nature within their pvp systems then the whole Point with pvp is gone. you Will get tierd of it 2 pretty soon im sure. Unless ofcourse you can Chase a goat around a pole for hours and still be amused. My Point is pvp is competetive by nature and Will Always be. Take that away and its not pvp, you might aswell make npcs to fight in the arena because the whole meaning with it is gone. its just as fun smashing npcs for no reason as it is killing players for no reason. There is no difference.
A; The game is going to live for a very long time because of the PVE element of the item hunt. It's what kept D2 going for so long - not pvp. As a matter of fact, a very small fraction of the D2 community pvp'd more than once in a great while.
B; Blizzard has already said, very recently, that they are firmly against; Spectator mode / replays / pvp ladders / pvp only items / anything that leads towards competitiveness in PVP other than the very nature of pvp itself. In other words, it's going to stay the way it was before, save for maybe some different game modes, and maybe the option to do custom matches.
I already made a big ol' post a page or two back, so here's the summary;
Jay wilson himself said that even WITH the demand from the community, they will NOT be adding features like replays, or spectator mode, and they will NEVER make D3 an Esport.
This should literally /all this bickering and fighting.
Arenas in general seem like they will be a blast. And I'll say I'd support custom matches (who against who, rather than your team against random) because that would be fun.
What I'm not against, but really could care less;
A showable PVP rating
Spectator mode
Replays
What I'm against;
PVP balance that hurts PVE in any way
PVP only gear and / or
Gear / skills that change in pvp or pve
Blizzard: " We do not want D3 to be an Esport, ever." (not the *exact* quote but I'm sure someone has posted it already) Kinda shoots down this whole thread right? I mean the discussion of making D3 into an Esport can and will always go on, but there's no point past trying to get a couple features in.
Personally? I'd take the arena and like it lol. The fact they are dedicating that much to PVP is awesome as it is=P
Edit; Here's the quote just in case: I know you don't plan to support Diablo 3 to be a eSport - If the commnunity wants it to become a eSport(without the implied balance), would you support it with replays/spectator mode and more ? JayWilson: No. We don't want Diablo 3 to become an E-sport. It's OK to have PVP just for fun. Our focus is on our PVE game, and we want it to stay there.
It even says right there, even IF the community wanted it, they aren't going to do it. /this damn thread already.
