While I definitely want more, it seems like barely anyone is actually paying attention to the news, just because the opening ceremony didn't have what they wanted.
People asked for them to monetize Diablo so that they could hire a dev team to make content - they're doing that.
But wah it's not an expansion - that's because you already got the expansion (well bits of it) for free and are continuing to get more bits.
"But the problem is not the new stuff we are getting, it's that old things won't change! It's just 1 class 2 maps!!"
Are people not reading the news at all? Inventory manager, great. Crafting manager AT LAST. GR adjustments (hey Blizz fix neph rifts to have proper density and scaling health and not set achieves on portalling to a turn in first...) and Challenge Rifts - where paragons ancients etc WONT DO ANYTHING which fixes the problem everyone has been complaining about.
Although then the problem will probably be that one class is better, or that it's not fair because fishing (and I really hate fishing) or.. something will become the new thing to cry about (mostly by people who laugh at game that died in 2013 they don't play, yet somehow they're still here posting.)
I think that late 2017 is WAY TOO SLOW for the necro to arrive to have much impact, but that they're dedicating to announcing content for all of 2017 and also talking about reworking sets once again (instead of only retrospectives) is way more positive a sign than anything we've had for almost a year now. Changes are trickling in. Moving to DLC means more classes and cosmetics can also come in later. It's a strategy they haven't done until now that people have been asking for. If it makes money, it gives them an incentive to make more. To adjust the balance even further (seriously fix the crappy class sets, pls.)
Do I think they could and should be doing more than they are? Yes. And WAY faster. But things are looking better than they were a week ago.

I for one am happy that my favorite class is coming back to D3.
