Oh no, I'm playing for the right reasons. Those reasons might not be the same as yours though. But I don't see the reason in your post. Think it over what you just said.Quote from phatosenSeriously man, if you want to quit the game because of a class/skill nerf, you're playing for the wrong reasons.

I see this warning to fansites as another PR fail of Blizzard around Diablo 3. Most things are fine, 1.04 did good, people are playing, and then wham, Blizzard comes out of it's silence and breaks the calm with a "DON'T PANIC" warning. I see people panic just because of this warning, including myself, because historically, fixing the game resulted in nerfs to my class, builds, gear, etc.
I think you are looking at this all wrong. No need to panic at all.
They know we datamine information. They also knew if we just post that, People would go crazy thinking there are nerfs (when most of them will not be) So they were kind enough to say "Hey, youll be seeing something like this, but it wont be the full picture)
This information should have been posted only when we datamined the info, but there was an issue with too many people getting the info in this email, and then someone posted it to reddit (which shouldnt have happend, and was silly as seeing we don;t even have the datamined info yet)
But Its just a friendly "Hey, the numbers you guys always pull wont be exactly what you see at face value, let people know" that's nice.
