Personally I've never been able to understand it, nor have I ever been able to understand how WoW did as well as it did, EQ in a Warcraft skin with lots of handholding and very little depth. Yet how many years now has it had 10 million plus subscribers?

A bit more on topic, This system seems ok. I'll probably go back and play some D3 at some point in the distant future, I'm about 27 hours in to X-Com Classic Mode, everybody is a full colonel, every country except cowardly Russia is still with me and has satellite coverage, upgraded Interceptors are blowing UFOs out of the sky, the end draws near(?).
Of course, there's still my BL2 coop group moving at a snail's pace, TL2 and SoaSE Rebellion... it could be awhile. Nice to see Blizzard at least attempting to address some of their mistakes.
The real issue is still the drop rates designed around the existence of the AHs, as others have mentioned and that might never get fixed.

I will said one thing, I don't miss Krowen telling everyone how great D3 is going to be and how great blizzard is.
I don't even think it's that. To an extent, constraints on time and money on a project encourage creativity. Blizzard has neither in any project it develops. So you get 3+ years of downtime for expansion packs that used to take 10-12 months and dull games like Diablo 3 that took 5-6 years of development (10 years if you count Blizzard North's original Diablo 3).

Sorry the people who still play were too busy to care that you are still crying about it.
To answer Beaver's question.

TL2 > D3 in every conceivable way.
It's funny because before they both hit I would never have dreamed that would be true. TL1 was good, but it was no Diablo 2. Oh how the tables have turned.
