I have to say that Blizzard conveying the message that Diablo 3 will NOT be an eSport game is one of the major reasons why I want to play this game. Too many MMO's out there now push for the PvP balance and end up screwing PvE'ers and this is not only regarding WoW (although they have done a much better job at balancing between the two in comparison to other games). I am not a PvP'er nor do I ever see myself being one so I usually end up getting the short end of the stick when it comes to MMO's when they try to balance PvP. Also, as far as I know, this may well be the first major game out there that does not have intentions of balancing PvP, at least not severely.
In regards to modding, I can see where they're coming from. Even if they secretly support modding, they cannot outright say it. After all, how would it sound if a company released a full-fledged product only to say, "This new game we're coming out with, feel free to change it however you like"? It'll only damage their integrity as a company. That's not to say that people won't do it, but Blizzard can't openly say that they support it. The only reason why I think this is because they have not said that they would take legal actions against those people/servers, that's not to say that they won't either though.
I actually prefer the huge bell more than the pillar. Does it seem unrealistic? Of course, but then again, it is Diablo we're talking about here. Also, the bell looks to be magical and although the monk doesn't use magic, it wouldn't be too big of a stretch if he was capable of summoning 'holy' objects.
