I have to wonder if some of these are fakes to mess with us. But, even if that isn't the case some of those fights could be the type where someone is controlled by an evil, so you fight them to free them, but not kill them.

lots of possibilities

If you're the kind of person that never wants spoilers and likes to enjoy a game 100% fresh then you're also a person that never visits sites like these. The only way to avoid spoilers with any game, movie, or tv show is to basically stay off half the internet.

Even then some dude in vent or a friend that comes over is gonna end up saying something

there's nothing wrong with making a news post that has patch notes

that's exactly why a lot of people visit sites like these

I'll be less sad about no mods if Blizzard updates d3 on a somewhat regular basis. I'm not expecting huge content patches, but adding some items, some maps, and some extra mobs every few months seems reasonable.

What you may be overlooking is the fact Blizzard could/could have done this without a RMAH in the game. If they wanted to create and sell items for money they could have been doing that for over 10 years. If you want to really get conspiratorial, maybe blizzard is the actual owners of most 3rd party websites selling items/services for d2/sc2/WoW. They devised an elaborate disinformation campaign to convince everyone it was the chinese. Clever folks.

Anyways, whatever concerns you have with blizzard and the RMAH could have already been happening for a long time. So if you don't think they've already been doing it then there's no reason to think they will start.

I have every expectation that blizzard will design and alter items, drop rates, etc... with nothing but the quality of the game in mind.

having not taken/dealt damage for XX seconds seems like a reasonable solution

yeah grew up with nirvana and then foo fighters

gonna be one of those old bastards in the 2040s talking to kids about how their music is shit and the 90s were better

If the final skill system has zero restrictions then there's no point in having only 6 skill slots

I think it will be easy to pick 6 skills to fit any situation without needing to swap every 5 mins so I'm fine with it being a town swap or a simple out-of-combat swap.

i would hate to see diablo in mmo format.

if someone wants to make an mmo the fine, do it. just don't use diablo for it. i don't think blizzard will ever do it.

I don't see it as being a problem. By the time you reach a place that can drop lvl 7 runes you're going to already have lower level runes of everything you want. So the randomness has nothing to do with messing up your skill set. It's just a minor power increase.

I think there will be quest rewards and special bosses that have chances to drop higher lvl gems. Maybe not a specific boss since they don't want people farming the same thing, but random elite types in all acts.

Then there's the secret bonus zones and goblin treasure portals. These places could easily drop rank 6-14 gems and lvl 5-7 runes. Maybe not bucket loads, but often enough that we won't see rank 14 gems on the RMAH for $500 each.
