Ladder in Diablo 3
Will there every be ladders in Diablo 3? Blizzard cannot either confirm nor deny. Meanwhile you can check what Jay Wilson had to say about ladders in an interview for Diablofans.

It is not an impossibility that we will get to see a ladder system in Diablo III in the future, but if we were ever to introduce this into the game, we would have to be very careful with the design as well as the implementation.
Lessons learned I guess?

Because they said at the beginning there would be a stable economy and they wouldn't need to have a ladder as a fix like for D2. Oh fail. Also, they mentioned the non-casual nature of rankings so there would never be a ladder.
I have a feeling that the D3 and blizzard management only release new patches and content when they see a decline in the numbers logging in week to week and the activity that is generated by the RMAH.
For both players and Blizzard as a company did a great job with MP levels, the machine, and with increase the quality of item rolls and drops rates. They did this just as people were not logging on as much or getting burned out of end game.
Now that there are many more level 100 out there and a lot of mid-levels, like me, I think the paragon system has gotten played out a little. I would like to see to how many people have more than 1 level 100 toon.
I am excited to see the PvP blog but I also expect a lot of things will be mentioned but not be in the next patch.
Perfect example will be the ladder. I am almost 100% sure there will not be a ladder when PvP goes live. I am not a programmer so I don’t know how long stuff like that takes. However as a business model it makes more sense to blizzard to release basic PvP patch to give players a taste. Then in another patch release the ladder system once they see log in numbers drop. This way they can milk it for more than releasing everything all at once.
Even though I complain I am still playing D3 a lot.
Here is hoping the PVP patch is worth the wait:)
Couldnt care less about a ladder system, aka "who got the most spare time" ranking.
OT: I don't see the point in a ladder system Diablo 3. Don't they already have a list of people by paragon level? What else is there to do, have it be a time trial to 60?
Is there anyone else out there who feels the same?
I think it will take like half a year.
I think the problem in adding ladder is exacly what to do with RMAH.
