Some positive stuff in there but some other things are a bit weird. The gems thing makes no sense because you get way too many great gems in Hell/Inferno for free, low level gems serve zero purpose except to entirely brand new players and even then the AH nullifies that.

Some things I'd like to see:

- Repair from the blacksmith please
- imbues and player added sockets (great gold sink here)
- better drop rates on sets/uniques/etc, we were swimming in them in D2 which wasn't necessarily good but this is too far in the other direction
- The servers lower than 200ms in primetime (on FIOS no less)
- Bosses dropping at least 1 piece of decent loot in the higher diffs without 5 stacks of Valor. People honed in on specific bosses in Diablo 2 and WoW to get the loot they want which is why people play the game.
- Champion pack affixes being reexamined, some are so obnoxious that people usually just skip them in higher diffs.

- Inferno ready gear that doesn't drop in Inferno itself, no clue what they were thinking there. Progression is fine but they say too many people are doing it without adequate gear while ignoring that the gear comes from Inferno itself.

Retuning Inferno is definitely necessary and I'm glad they see that, insane spike damage that you can barely avoid is more at home in something like Dark Souls than this.
