I can tell by your spelling and grammar that you're very well informed and do your research.
It's been said by the Diablo 3 team themself at the 2009 blizzcon(6 months ago) that it will NOT be out in 2010. Period.
You know, as irony has it, gear in WoW is pretty important, if not, more so then Diablo.
This is probably due to a fact in WoW, all your spells or attacks hit no matter what. Take a mage vs mage duel, who wins? The guy with better gear, no matter what.(Unless extreme retardation lol) Due to the fact that a fireball will 100% hit(Unless resisted, in which case, you're unlucky)
In diablo, sorc vs sorc duel, who wins? The guy who can dodge and aim better, which I consider skill. You can be undergeared and still beat him if you dodge better and hit him more.
I appreciate that the conversation has now seemed to have switched to something more constructive.
However I just wanted to point out one thing.
A lot of people the last few pages have been talking about high end pvp rewards for winning duels and that kind of stuff
To put it simply, that quite simply cannot work in Diablo. It just flat out can't. Like i've pointed out many times, Diablo is a hack-and-slash game, and that is actually something which the developers are proud of. In one of the panels, I remember them saying that D3 would not support any interface addons, and that they are designing the game so that it can be played with a mouse alone if a person wanted to play like that.
You can't have "pvp rewards" in a diablo game, because pvp in diablo is not based on fighting skill. The skill comes in when customizing your stat points and gear. Gear gear gear.
pvp rewards works in WoW because WoW pvp is highly dependant on skill. You have to know your class skills inside out, and know all the enemy class skills inside out. My rogue in wow had 6-7 addons running at all times counting down timers on my screen for my skills, timers for enemy skills, cooldowns, spell warnings, immunity warnings, disable warnings etc.
But in Diablo pvp, you win if your gear is better, unless your opponent is completely retarded. But that is not a knock on diablo. I enjoyed my Diablo pvp years 10x more than I enjoyed WoW's pvp, despite the fact that I did very well in arenas
Mainly because WoW is a hamsterwheel. You'll never do well unless you are willing to put in endless hours a day farming honor, dungeons and arena points just to stay with the latest rewards. And at the end of the day, every pvper is decked out in virtually the same gear. Boring
There was a psychology study done several years back involving pre-school kids. The children were given 1 hour "free time" every day, and given access to coloring books and crayons. All the kids spent the entire hour happily coloring to their hearts delight for weeks
Then the experimenters began awarding the children Gold Stars depending on how much they colored.
Then a few days later, the experimenters stopped handing out stars for the coloring sessions. Very quickly, the children who had once loved to color, suddenly didn't have the interest in it anymore. None of them spent that hour of free time coloring anymore
How does this relate to PvP and even PvE? When you give fixed target rewards for something people enjoyed doing, they get tunnel vision and view the activity as a chore that must be done to get the reward. The activity loses its intrinsic enjoyability, to the same person who was happily enjoying it without rewards prior.
This doesn't apply to magic finding because magic finding is an interirely different phenomena (namely magic finding taps into the natural enjoyment we get from gambling and games of chance)
This is my first post, I've been a lurker for quite awhile, at first I agreed with you.. but now you're just arguing for the sake of arguing after you have already lost.
I just want to point out some things.

Wrong, I've seen better geared players lose to worse geared plenty of times(from personal experiance as well.)
The biggest issue of D2 pvp is the imbalance.

If you need that many addons, you are bad at the game. I made it to 2k rated 2v2 and 3v3 without using a single addon.
Fact: In tournies where the top teams go to play each other at blizzcon or other tournies that pay money, the computers they use have no mods.
You don't need interface addons to success, they are just clutchs. All those addons you described can be seen and avoided without any addons.
I would like to say I would love arenas in D3. They don't even need a prize for it, but a rating would be nice, if only for show. It would make people come together more and do 2v2 3v3 etc for fun with friends and bring together a pvp that promotes the co-op they so love.

Just a warning though, I actually want to listen to the dialogues for the story.

My 2 cents.
