* Changes I would like to see to Diablo 3, simply because I love playing this game, and hopefully for long time to come!
* These changes are how I would like to see the game changed. Ofcourse personal opinions may vary, but I would greatly appreciate the feedback (both ways)!

so no harm came to me. But the post is really long, and I do suggest you put something like that at the top. Just to let people know 
But it could be fun to have different play modes. Just as long as they are not a more efficient way to farm exp/loot than "standard" PvE.
