Binkles the Frog
Binkles the frog has a very odd name
So does his nature, in his own domain.
Hidden in the sanctuary he subtly yawned,
that is of course until Diablo was spawned.
Then he mounted his platypus and told it never to stop,
but he quickly found out he’d be much faster if he just hopped!
Where to go, not to the centre,
Diablo was there fighting Cain’s mentor!
The fire and flames Binkles hopped around,
almost made dinner and toasted his skinny green frown.
Mmm, fresh meat, or fresh frog should he say,
as the butcher was ready to cook up his prey.
Binkles knew not where to go, so he headed to the waypoint,
back to the flayer jungle where the amphibian could once again become joint,
with his classless father who let him go,
into the depths of Diablo’s dark chateaux.
Binkles smelt his father and knew the Slime Prince was near,
so he mounted his platypus and said “Never fear, Binkles is here!”
They went toe to toe and it seemed like a mismatch,
but Binkles’ platypus did more than just watch!
It shot hot venom and beaver tailed the Prince,
but Mr. Slime resisted it, so then with a wince,
the platypus kissed Mr. Slime with his duck shaped bill,
and Mr. Slime turned into a man of great will!
Now, would you ever guess who?
Binkles was surprised too!
After all Griswald kind of look like a frog,
but only when Ms. Charsi accompanied his ****.
Binkles, son of Griswald and Charsi.

General Positives:
1) No one has the best gear - What I liked most about d2 classic was that there was no "set build" or "best gear" to get. Of course in LoD certain items dominated (although there are some nice and useful rares that people have [trophies]) but the basic premise is that common items could get most people through the game. Imbuing items and finding rares (ornates, bhammers) gave d2 that feeling that anyone could be walking around with better gear than the next person, and although most lvl 60 legendaries are great items it is evident that rares will be just as useful, if not moreso due to random mods.
2) The game isn't easy - Although 1-60 may be easier than 1-99, inferno is obviously a stepping stone in terms of difficulty for diablo. I like the fact that blizzard presents customers with a challenge, albeit with some issues surrounding this challenge (see constructive issues), but a challenge nonetheless.
3) The game is fun - I don't regret the purchase, I'd never ask for a refund, and I can't wait to see what blizzard has in store going forward in terms of patching the game.
Constructive Issues:
1) 4 players per game - I really wish I could play with 6 players. I'm not asking for 8 and I can see why blizzard wanted to stay away from that number although at least 5 players would have been reasonable. Playing in a full game with one of each class is a cool idea although one that is not possible at the moment, unfortunately.
2) Unrealistic expectations from players in inferno mode - Like I said above the game is fun and challenging, and I don't mind kiting, although being chain-walled, vortexed, or jailed is unrealistic. Only one enemy in the mob should have the ability to hinder the players ability or movement. This could change for games with more than one player, although running from 3 blue mobs being constantly jailed or vortexed makes things crazy in a bad way, especially since skills like teleport have long cooldowns.
3) Being stuck to the game and the lack of a game browser - With the new game joining scheme blizzard obviously wants players to stay in game. I get this, and it's evident with factors such as stacked nephalem valors and the lack of auction house alerts, although this ISN'T diablo. If you want players to stay in a game create a random event such as dclone that spawns randomly in games where progression is shown (linear movement from act1-act4 all in one game). This would prevent familiar farming areas and encourage full game farming in collaboration with people (because I'm sure people would get tired of clearing acts or full games by themselves.) I use the linear progression idea so that people can't expect to afk and spawn the event. The lack of a game browser is another thing that bothers me. I know that a countless amount of useless games are made although the start quest or resume game format gives players the feeling of being restricted, and diablo was always about openness. The lack of ability to travel between acts is also another issue. You can tell that blizzard definitely took a few pages out of the world of warcraft book with ideas like the stacked nephalem valor, although it is working to their advantage.
4) The lack of collaboration - I thought by now blizzard would have caught on. People will always have the option of playing by them-self, and I understand the always online idea having made the auction house an integral part of the game, although there should be a much greater incentive to play with other players, and the "find players on this quest" option is not that incentive. There are numerous creative ideas I could list that would bring people together, similar to the random event one stated above, although it's probably too late for that.
Please share your general positives and constructive issues.

Cheers and good luck to you all. I'm likely gonna step out of the 24hr contests as I've already had a run through although a key would be nice as it gives me some more time to hit 13 on all classes which is something I'd like to do before release.
