We're - in general - not big fans of griefing for any game. It's really only "fun" for one person, and that definition of fun isn't generally something we're going to want to encourage. It's far more positive to encourage and support meaningful and skillful options and systems within a game, than a mechanic for people to instantly turn against one another for no meaningful gameplay reasons.
I definitely remember running with my friends, and someone toggles it, and bam everyone is dead and your one friend is laughing. Ok, ok, good joke I guess, and then you run back and *bam*, you've toggled it to get them back. After a while everyone usually agrees to a truce because it's just a waste of time. But I also remember running with random players and losing extremely nice items because of it, not cool. I'm sure that it was a feature that was right up some people's alleys, I won't deny there are some that would enjoy nothing more than to see others frustrated, but is that truly something that should be encouraged through design - if not directly opposed?
We have a large focus on cooperative play for Diablo III, and the mechanics and design decisions related to multiplayer are likely going to be based on supporting and encouraging it as much as possible, and not breaking it down.
That doesn't mean that PvP won't have its own focus, but those are details and features we aren't yet discussing.
Problem is, pvp won't ever happen besides the rare occasion of who has the bigger dick syndrom. So its pretty much over for D3 imo in terms of lasting. It will die out like WC3 did and Titan Quest very quickly.

You don't know how the game mechanics are going to be structured at all. We have no idea how PvP will be implemented yet, so that's a pretty silly statement to make.
Wow that's cool great they're releasing info about ruining diablo 3 pvp on the fucking world of warcraft general forum! That guy was talking about diablo where you could toggle someone hostile when you were right next to them. After reading what that guy said he only said you won't be able to toggle hostile to someone when you're next to them, not that the hostile style from town(which I like is gone)
Yea i hope its like wow where they have locations you can fight and others where you cannot, etc. That would be really good in my opinion. Also I hate getting griefed

Have a Battle.net Arena where people can throw down and other players can take stakes?

I know what he implied, and that is enough coming from a blizz rep. I can't believe I got hyped over a game like this. I lost my faith in Blizzard a couple years ago, and I have been a fan since Rock n Roll racing. I somehow thought they would do things right with SC2 and D3. But, the only thing I have seen is pretty much a lushed out D2 mixed with all ideas that come from WoW. Its unorginal copy cat crap and personally I could do a better job thinking of things. Anything new comes from WoW. This game is going to be boring in about 3 months or less.

Yep and we can have class forums where everyone whines about XXX skill/class being overpowered and then they nerf all the fun stuff cause arena is an esport like in wow...
You can't judge the whole game on one statement, give it time.
I am tired of Blizzard ass fucking the old fans. People screaming for payment plans when we don't need them. Blizzard should do their job keeping the game clean, we all know they revenue enough from D2:LoD to last a long time. Players are brain washed from WoW and the team making the game are wow players not D2 players. I am done assuming Blizzard will come out on top, good and all. I mean look HE COMMENTS ON A FUCKING WOW FORUM, doesn't even bother to tell the D3 community... What the fuck does that say about the people running our game. I am going to assume Blizzard will do its worst from now on.
although i did love griefing myself. especially those who would grief others. i loved watching people try to act bad ass then own them and kill them over and over before they could get their body so they would leave. but the idea of organized pvp, something a lot more competative, some way to know who is the best in the server and face them. stuff like that would be great. then people would truely know who is the best.

Cool. Then quit commenting / posting threads, go away and don't buy the game. You won't be missed.
This is the most knee-jerk reactionary whiny shite I've ever seen in my life.
You can read this on the WoW forums here.

PvP, bring it on. PK griefing? Time for it to retire.

You hostile people while in a safe area (town) then go outside of town and fight... simple and good

So we'll see.
(poet and don't know it)
Diablo 1?
edit:
i might be wrong. i haven't played in forever.
Why would they even talk about Diablo 1? If theyre going to compare games then they should be comparing Diablo 3 to Diablo 2
This Bashiok fellow is weird....
