After all you have that PoS re-hash called path of exile to look forward to, Too bad its a free2play so you know its going to be buy to win with a cash shop. No thanks.
And D3 was differrent than this model? play and have fun, but never expect your toon to excel unless you use the RMAH, either through incredible redunt farming and selling of semi crap to accumulate enough gold to buy 1 item, or do what all the cool kids did, buy it with cash.
Blizzard is living on past glories. Diablo 3 was a great game, right until the point that mattered the most, re-playability. It became incredible fruitive. Gearing up using AH cause what drops for one personally was almost exclusively useless. Not to mention, everyone went for same stats cause the talent system was so poorly designed that everyone needed the same stats. The game failed where it mattered.
As for wow subs, I know several old guildies that still play, mostly it's because they have invested so much time into the game they do not want to start over in a new game. They all are dissappointed of the lack of content and innovation for a sub game, but they are also addicted. Pandarian was a cold turkey for me, never bought it, never will. I bought Diablo 3, played over 1000 hours, and my toons are weak and uninteresting, waste of time and I stopped playing that long ago.
