Well, seems to me most of your friends are friends you made from games where you could do exactly what OP wants, which is why it's so social for you. But if none of your friends are playing the game, what then?
I agree with OP. The new battle.net is a step back/in the wrong direction. Personally, I don't mind is so much myself as many of my friends are playing D3, but I don't see myself making many new friends here.
Also, victim mentality? I didn't really get that from him, just that he is missing some features that made the older games so much more awesome. Just getting randomly assigned to a group of people is not nearly as fun as finding a group yourself. Not to mention less social.
Also, I like how you consider yourself a geek, yet you phrase a bunch of nerds in a negative way. Contradiction much? Not to mention uncalled for.

Sure, the mobs could get smarter instead of one-shotting you. But I'm still having fun (Lots of it) running around like a headless chicken with 3 of my friends trying to overcome Vortex Arcane Jailer + rares.
I think I might be having so much fun because I didn't read so much into the game and lore before I started, and I never expected an MMO endgame. I anticipated Diablo3 being a game with a start and finish, with an option to get geared up with some arbitrary reason (Aside from it being fun that is).
I don't really know where I am going with this, but for every forum post where people vent their anger with things they don't like about the game, there's a guy like me, sitting back and enjoying a game which I have waited for since forever, and most importantly not being disappointed by it. It feels great.

Would probably prefer the style they use in cinematics.

Hehe, I think the major complaint from PvPers isn't that D3 wont be shipping with it, it's more the fact that there is so little support planned for PvP such as ladder, duelling, ganking etc.
Apart from that, you're absolutely right.
Personally I don't mind either or. D3 was never a PvP game for me anyway, I'd much rather play Sc2 or Dota/2 and such. I do think I'll miss the casual duelling part though.
I do foresee that should Blizzard give more support towards the PvP segment that there will be tremendous amounts of tears from both sides about balance and what not. Basically nothing out of the ordinary!
EDIT: Now that I read my own post, I noticed there's a distinct lack of yellow smilies in this thread. Smile people! Even if you're not on the same page, we're still gonna play the same game, and love the hell out of it. So smile!

Hush now, this isn't a place for logic, just sit back and enjoy the show, like any reasonable person would.

Well, I dunno, all I feel he's doing is creating more animosity towards the PvP crowd. But hey, all PR is good PR right, even if it hints of perhaps more whinging and whining from the PvP community in terms of "waaaah Blizzard neglects balancing PvP in Diablo3, waaaah"... ^^

The reason you didn't hear that whining is that WoW (And such games) wasn't around back then. It's relatively new, and lets face it, Diablo3 is getting the WoW crowd. And the WoW crowd whines. A lot. And what do they whine for? Buffs, nerf, eSports and probably a whole lot more.
More importantly, why do they whine? Because class X raped them in PvP, and that makes them unbalanced.
People didn't whine for balance before, because no one cared (enough). It wasn't _that_ competitive. But now is another story. I feel like Blizzard dug their own grave with WoW arena, because now that everyone knows about it, the people who liked it will want something similar to it, while the people that hate it wont like to have it at all.
I predict this will be a problem for Blizzards future MMOs/RPGs.
EDIT: Tired, stupid typos etc.

I fail to see your reason for ranting, short of ranting about other people ranting. Which seems quite redundant and quite frankly a bit stupid?
Patience is a virtue!

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one who doesn't really care about either farming gear or PvPing. I'm just super stoked to be playing through the game, soaking up the story and the eerie atmosphere that has been dominant in all the previous Diablo games.
I feel as though people treat the game as a MMO, where you rush through leveling to get to the endgame. For me, that has never been the case with Diablo, I've always just played it for what it is. A game with a beginning and an end, where what really matters is what happens in between, and not after you reach that end.
Guess I'm lucky like that, I don't have to fret about PvP not being in at release, or how "hardcore" the PvE will be. I'll just be strolling about, helping the citizens of Sanctuary fend of yet another demonic invasion. And I'm going to enjoy the hell out of it, probably multiple times.
As for the topic itself, I'd say 3 months or more, knowing Blizzard. And knowing Blizzard, it will be pretty cool when it comes out. You know how it goes: those who wait...

Ladies and gentlemen; the de-evolution of trolls!
The once terrifying and subtle beings are now reduced to child-like insults and meaningless phrases!
Let this be a lesson to all, YOUR internet stereotype might be next! Don't be stupid, be smart!
That will be all.

In the light of how WoW arena was done (And what a joke it was), I dont think it's very wise of Blizzard to venture out on a new attempt of making an "eSport" segment in a PvE game. Because let's face it, that's what Diablo genre is really about, same as WoW.
Blizzard has proven time and time again with Wow that balancing so many classes and skills doesn't work very well. And with the addition of expansions it's just gonna get more out of hand.
If I want competition in a relatively balanced environment I'll play Sc2 or DotA2.
The occasional skirmish is all in good fun of course, but I don't really see the need for a Arena system in Diablo3. At least it wont be like WoW Arena where you get gear and stuff, it's just going to be for bragging rights in a rock-paper-scissor setting.
