Pvp? are you serious? they spent that whole time trying to figure something out when at the end of it all they just let you duel anyways.

Some form of PvP would be better than nothing. See my original post where I mention people will flip a shit if no PvP came out at all.

Nerfing difficulty so that retards could play inferno?

Retards are also customers. And I don't condone calling players retarded when many of them fit in categories like: just not game-adept, 60-hour work weeks and can't focus on the game, focused on education and play casually, etc. Let's not forget why they implemented Monster Power selection. So you don't feel "retarded" when playing on "Inferno."

or balancing skills and tweaking them so that each class had 1 or 2 speccs that are viable to farm with? The whole point of this "new" skill system was so that there were builds that were competetive with each other excepth there are a handful that dominate the system.

With any sort of math and theorycrafting, there will always be some sort of build or combination of skills that dominate the others. Same with other games; Final Fantasy RPGS - some equipment and skill selection will outshine the rest no matter how else you attempt to tackle the games.

Buffed drop rates of legendaries and new legendaries? half of which are instant brimmed regardless of roll. The other half have to roll decent to sell for anything or be even worth using.

Do you prefer pre-1.04 legendaries? I'd prefer to brim 50% more often rather than 90% of legendaries you see once in a blue moon.

Ubers and hellfire ring? theres no reason to do ubers after you acquire a somewhat decent hellfire...the least they couldve done is buffed ubers to the point where we could still farm them for other things.

Perhaps you've never attempted to do ubers just for fun. Or to socialize with some friends while doing a run. Or have you never found anything that dropped from ubers other than a chance mat under MP10? Like any other boss or elite, they can drop a ton of high-potential loot other than mats. I don't use a Hellfire, yet I still do uber runs for fun.

Quote from GInthril

Paragon? you mean a system that added extra "exp" bars and levels just so they could get rid of MF in the long run? if thats the case then why is it that we still have MF in the game?. Half of the Diablo 3 player base finds themselves farming for paragon levels which if you wanna be efficient at is just running A3 over and over again. Blizzard needs to make drastic AND minor changes to this game. Now with 1.0.7 out we can actually farm Act 2 VOA....well done....bravo. What about Act 1 and Act 4? Garbage acts for farming anything efficiently. We should be able to farm across acts with somewhat comparative results but Act 3 dominates by FAR.

Leveling in an RPG? Oh, my. Yes, they can get rid of MF. But you can still use MF until you reach paragon 100. Half of D3 farming for paragon? Paragon is one mere aspect of the game. I personally deliberately farmed for paragon when I felt like it. Other times paragon EXP was just a bonus to what I focused on, which was farming for loot or socializing with friends in-game. And efficiency is yet just another aspect of the game; a strategy if you will. Do you forget that some people actually try to play this game for fun? Yes, Act III is by far the most "efficient," but are you not allowed to farm anywhere else? No one said, "No, you are not allowed to farm Act IV because it's a stupid act."

I could keep going and going and going. but i'll stop there.

Please do, and at least you admitted that your entire rant is just a flaming mass of QQ.

And if you can't open your eyes to see how far this game has evolved since May 2012, I can't help you there. You can be miserable if that's what you want. Meanwhile, I, along with many others, will enjoy the game for what it is right now and just look forward to any additional improvements they can tack on.

Until Blizzard fixes everything, inluding the obnoxious, unneccesary, and just laughably ridiculous requirement that players be logged on to play, I as a paying customer can complain all I want. As do millions of other, just look at the Amazon reviews.

I'm with you on the fact that I wanted an offline mode, and I also believe this model was chosen mainly as a form of drm.

However, what some are trying to make sure you understand is: first, the ship has already sailed, the game has been released like this, and it is extremely unlikely that we're going to get an offline mode any time; second, you can definitely vent off and complain, but doing so will hardly ever get positive reactions, mostly because of the very small chance of actually affecting the game design at this point (and some people are very tired of seeing others complain about the game, you must understand that); third, doing so in a somewhat arrogant tone ("financial compensation for every compensation") is even more likely to get negative reactions out of the community.
