Ill just leave this here..."We make that as a joke. We'll say, ‘You're a bad designer if you tell your customer that you're playing the game wrong.' It's actually the customer's game. We should do our best to enable that experience. If someone is playing the game and they're not having a good time and it's because they're not playing it right, that's our fault."

It does in a way, but I posted it more to show how jaded and double sided the Diablo community is. You guys sit there in this very thread and bitch and moan how Diablo is a PvM game first, and pretty much saying, if you are playing to PvP you are playing wrong and you should find a new game. Even the developers have said stupid shit like that, this is coming from another game developer and he is pretty much saying, hey the game is for the customer..they buy it...they play it...we have no authority to tell them how to play, they make their own rules and we should recognize that and not tie their hands because I don't feel that is how the game should be played.
Of course...I doubt many here will actually comprehend the statement and continue to be PvM white knights, it is ok...cause you are the same people who will quit within a year and then the real community can take over just like in D2.
But thats the thing, if botting, griefing, etc became the acceptable or expected way to play, then it was not the communities fault it was the developers. That's what the quote is saying. That's why they have changed things to online play only, no world pvp, etc.
They did exactly what the quote said, they took responsibility for how the direction of D2 ultimately went, and have changed it so those downsides should no logner exist in D3.
EDIT: Your disgusting bias is showing. First off, the claim that people who play this game for a full fucking year dont even count as "the real community" is absurd. A year is an immensley long time to be dedicated to any game of any genre. Secondly, you've decided the griefing pvpers from D2 constitute the real community over any other type of D2 player. If it's your true opinion that you want D3 to be the same way pvp was in D3 then w/e that is your opinion, but it is without a doubt the minority opinion. Don't demand changes to a game that benefit only you at the cost of everyone else.
Seriously man, I hope you don't buy or play this game. Clearly you don't want to so why even bother talking about it? Why not go browse a different forum or play a different game? Your time would obviously be ebtter spent elsewhere.

I'm legitimately glad those people dont like that world pvp is gone, in the hopes that they don't buy the game and I never have to play with them.
