now quaestion for 1milion $.... Who will be "gladiator"?
I like your sarcasm, but I'll answer the quote half seriously.
there should be an arena where your character comes in naked, and you choose a set of weapon/armors from a pool of pre-determined gear. Sounds fun and new, and i can hear people saying " I NEEDZ MAH GEEERS MAN!" already.
Yeah, preset gear would be really interesting, but I don't think it will be part of the game. It's too e-sporty, as Jay would put it.
but as for the idea, i'm sorta torn. there are certain benefits you gain from gear, certain + skill, life, etc, bonuses that help to augment your character. it's customization, and pvp benefited a ton from the customization in D2, at least in the less serious duels. While there may be "optimum" builds, there's still variations in gear which are chosen because of play style.
If we're looking at making D3 ultra competitive, maybe preset gear selections would be a good idea.... but since there won't be an enigma in the game, I don't think gear will really be too big of an issue.

If that were true, people wouldn't bitch so much about RMAH. Diablo = item reliant game.
Well, i guess the whole point of pre-determined pool of gear meant that you pick maybe out of a selection of 3-4 before you fight, but there are a few issues.
1) people could take too long in choosing, takes away from the "fast" pace of pvp
2) luck of the draw in item spawn
If you played a tournament in magic the gathering, there's this type where you open like 10 booster packs and make a deck out of that. I guess it would be interesting if d3 had it the same way. you pick gear, then drag drop your skills in skill slot... based on whatever item you chose.
Like I said as long as its as competitive as Diablo 2 which was actually competitive and imo had way better pvp than any other game I have played, crapped all over wow.
I am sure people will find a way to make it competitive and Diablo 2 the characters were pretty balanced but the items were not (Enigma, Elemental Absorb, Etc,...)
I still have faith that blizzard will not mess this up, if they mess this up they will lose so many people because the diablo fanbase is huge and people have been waiting for way to long.
Lets hope they dont pull a Duke Nukem (heard it was bad).
Well solving the RMAH problem is real simple. Play hardcore.
I feel like complaining about the RMAH is a little naive, though. RMAH isn't actually helping people with money get the best gear. It's creating an outlet that allows blizzard to get more money for developing more games, or whatever internal stuff they're doing. I see no issue with this as long as we're not taken advantage of.
The misconception about the RMAH is this: the rmah is a new outlet for players with money to get the best gear.
I think what people forget is that there are dedicated websites for selling gold. People can buy gold and in turn, since it's supposed to be the monetary value of the game, they are able to afford better equipment than you. The RMAH is allowing You to sell those items to these people rather than allowing some website not affiliated with Diablo to reap the benefits.
Money in Blizzard's pockets
Money in our pockets
Avoid supporting third party websites
Win-Win-Win situation.
:edit:
let me rephrase something I said earlier. it is helping them get gear. but it is not new. they would be able to get the gear anyway.
plus, if the general consensus is that people don't want real money to drive who has the best gear in diablo, don't sell your items on the RMAH. Don't be greedy.
The gears is what's going to make us interested in putting them on, and do pvp with. Not an arena that is always balancing hungrily, morfing out of stuff that is the forbidden knowledge to the Diablo heroes' mind.
The loots are the ones who gets to tell us what should we do with them.

What you say is to have two games in one.
To my knowledge Blizzard do not want to do that, they have learn from WoW already.
