Please keep in mind on whine posts like this that this is a Diablo fans website. You can post your negative rants if you want but maybe you should look for Diablo hate sites to get like minded people.
Is the game perfect? No
Did I feel ripped off with vanilla? Yes
Has the game been fixed to be playable and fun? Yes
Do I want more (content, classes, etc)? Who wouldn't.
If this isn't the game for you there are plenty of alternatives out there for you. Seek some happiness in your life and don't dwell on what seems to make you miserable. You will be happier and the fans who still like this game will be too.

That is just not fun.
Personally, what I would like is seasons to last 4 months, we have 3 in each year, or 3 in each era, meaning I also want era's to be 12 months in length. With this change, I would like drop rates to be lowered substantially to make the game about hunting for loot again instead of grinding for paragon. The current system makes 50% of the difficulty levels offered useless as well, so that needs to change. Items can be added to the game at the start of a new era, maybe 3 items for each class. Along with these new items every 12 months, it would offer new build concepts.
Really, what this game needs along with this is a complete soft reset of all data. This typically occurs during an expansion, but can we 100% rule out the possibility of them raising the level cap to 80, reworking/removing sets (or maybe adding the set bonus features as a cube option?) adding a few more zones, and adding a few more maps? I feel that they absolutely had a plan to release another Xpac, but at this point, I am not sure it makes sense. Instead, release the features in the current game via an extremely large patch, which will launch November 30th, giving season 8 around 6 weeks of game time, which is just right under the welfare seasonal system.
I have many things I can add, but this is becoming long enough the way it is haha.

Typically, the company says, "This is what we want, start designing it ASAP!!!" Then as I said above, they look for the perfect Director to add the much needed polish. Games do not work AT ALL like movies do. At least not for larger companies like Blizzard-Activision.

Exactly, I can see it now:
"Pre-Order your copy of D3 Xpac2 and get this pet, these wings, this banner, and a Diablo Pet for WoW, Diablo card backs for Hearthstone, unlock all Diablo related skins in Heroes, AND unlock Tyrael's wings in Overwatch."

The issue is that the game they designed was not designed for long haul survival. They thought easier to obtain gear and seasons was going to keep people excited, instead, it literally DESTROYED THE CONCEPT OF THE GAME!!! Instead, the game should be centered around era's, maybe 6 months each, with lower drop rates, and the removal of sets, so that there are numerous build variations to attempt to succeed with.
Set powers can be added to the cube, making all gear slots viable and lowering drop rates of gear would go a long way to bringing life back to Diablo 3 with or without an expansion.

As long as newbs like you try to troll the topic, it is very obvious it has a future. Because even people that do not give a rats arse about the franchise sit and talk about it lmfao.
AKA, you are the only one looking like a fool!

I still feel like this will be a longer PTR, and in connection, season 7 is going to be a longer season.
I feel this because to me it makes sense to hype up season 8 at Blizzcon with some major content patch updates, etc..... rather than release season 8 with minimal changes just before or the week of blizzcon.
We have plenty of datamined info to know that there is still plenty for the crew to add into the game that was well in development, will be interesting to see this implementation process.

There is a difference between paying for a stream slot(a.k.a. Quin paying to attend and use a stream box), and being paid via free entry, flight, as well as board/room. Blizzard did not pay streamers in the past to attend a show.
Quin being the largest/most consistently populated D3 stream, as well as his outspoken manners toward the game make it a brilliant decision to get him involved with the scene. By paying for all expenses, they are going to bring in a steady crowd of fans along with it that will see something that will likely happen.
If I had to guess, we will get a sneak peak at Gamescom, something very subtle, something we may need to watch 3-4 times to even process the tease, and then we get the full display at Blizzcon.

Haya sums it up pretty well.
Just play the build you want, but keep in mind that you are most "efficient" when clearing a rift in 3-5 minutes.

Basically, the only items that drop in a specific place are the items you get from bounty cache's.
Otherwise whether you are on your barb, wiz, or whichever class you chose, you can get every needed legendary item from anything. Barrels, pots, weapon racks, chests, and of course the monsters all have a chance to drop legendary items for every class, no target hunting required.
