I agree on the points that I also believe Blizzard cares about D3, and that they have a LOT on their plate.
But, this thread is the exact same thing you'd see on the Bnet forums about WoW; "Omg we lost a raid tier because they wanted to add more pokemon to capture."
It's not as simple as that. They have a big team, all assigned to different jobs. Taking away the people who made the wardrobe wouldn't have then enabled them to fix all the problems you stated. Actually, you didn't even state any problems. I think you offhandedly mentioned an arbitrary 'improvement to the GR system', and didn't even give any examples. Because it's a lot harder than just 'wtf why not fix this part of the game'. Especially when not everyone can even agree it's broken.
So yes, I would love to see continual improvements to the game, and I think that's just what we're getting.

We aren't playing the same game. You are playing an entirely different game, with different circumstances. You don't like people pointing out your lack of morality and feel a personal affront. Then good. I hope it feels bad man. There are many types of games, yet you have to perverse Diablo 3 why?
What is the point of cheating? Because the game give you a lack of motivation as it currently stands? Tough titty. Suck it up and play legitimately. If it's just a game, why cheat?

I work, I workout, I read, everyday. I have a wife and 2 kids. [...]You choose to be a service member. My father was a Master Sgt in the Air Force. While I don't know what it's like to serve, I do know what it's like to live with it. How much I had to sacrifice while a father had to move around every 2-3. Friends, Family, Stability. I had none of that shit as a child. Anyone that mentions service in anything beyond when asked, is asking for curried favor. You want your service to be an excuse, otherwise why mention it? Literally has no bearing on the situation at hand. Diablo 3 is a time sink. You don't want to invest into a time sink. Don't fucking play the game. Simple as that. If you have to cheat to get by, then this game isn't for you. Just move on.
Your logic of cheating could be literally used for any walk of life, in any situation. It's like saying I steal because I work hard, but don't make enough. Yet, I am sure if someone broke into your house, you wouldn't let that shit go because they have it hard. Having it hard isn't an excuse. And you damn well know it.
D3 faults aren't a reason to cheat. It's another excuse. You cheat because you want too. And you cheat because it's easy. Nothing else, nothing more. If you didn't care, you wouldn't post about it. You posted to rub in peoples faces. I don't buy it. And I'm not going to let you have it either.

Here is a quote from you in my thread:
You offer a lot of criticism to other posters. Like, a lot. You have said some good things, but most of it is negative.
Yet, you rarely come up with your own ideas, you claim to know what Blizzard wants. Blizzard wants a simple game, doesn't want this, won't do that. Yet the post I quoted from was my thread, you need more rewards for the activity you have in the game. I was simply stating that gear isn't enough incentive to grind, paragon isn't enough incentive to grind. That giving incentive to grind is healthy for the game. And you can't really argue that. While my idea was to tie incentive to Greater Rifts and Seasons, might not have been the golden ticket idea. It was something.
You did though, you argued it. This was BEFORE the patch 2.41 announcement. Then the patch 2.41 announcement comes, and you suddenly see more cosmetics tied to the Season. What do you have to say for that? I was more inline with Blizzard thinking than you were.
This Shapookya has a lot of posts, and says a lot. While offering little himself.
I wouldn't take what you say at anymore value then the OP. What rebjorn is saying has been said a 100x time before. We will both agree that it's tiresome and offers little. Then at the same time, we both know that we aren't developers. Especially, Blizzard developers. So, even then having ideas being posted all the time is, also, tiresome.
The major difference is that myself, rebjorn, are putting ourselves out there.
The whole point of this post was to ask an active member to watch it a bit. Slamming everything accomplishes little, and could easily be turned right around.

I also like the idea of using Set Dungeons. This is what I am talking about ideas. Season need to be more rewarding, the game needs to be more rewarding. This isn't 2001 anymore. The formula doesn't work like it did. Other companies are offering far more, for far less and Blizzard is lagging behind.
I care, but I love the franchise. I have investment in it since the first Diablo and the old B.Net. I want to see it successful on a grand scale, ala Diablo 2 style. But currently, D3 is a joke competitively against a 20 year old game.

Blizzard needs to involve synergy among Seasons, and non-seasons. Farming is Farming no matter where it's at. Rewards are unique and one of a kind. It might give more players some Veteran stand outs, if you could show off some cool effects.

But, some may claim that it's just not possible to have a line drawn. That if you do, you are lying to yourself.
I'm at my limit dude, it's not a joke. I ask for a timely release from announcement. If they wait till Q4 it will be 5 years of development(that we know of) I can only wonder how much development time is really needed. An artist can over do his work if he doesn't know when to stop. Same can apply here.
Feel like, if Diablo 3 needs 5+ years of development, then I really don't have the time and patience to devote to the game. Hell, SWTOR took less time then D3, WoW took less time then D3, most games take less time then D3. The only game on par with D3 right now is Duke Nukem Forever, and we all seen how that played out.
