A few ideas of how to save D3

[Roland]

I'm trying to find the exact interview I saw where Jay said, specifically, that they don't want D3 to become an e-sport. I have found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E452S_fJwA where he does talk about more casual PVP, but that's not the one I saw where he spelled it out.

Seconding Treesh's comment, I remember that same quote. That doesn't have anything to do with wanting proper infrastructure for PvP (that's a completely separate issue), but rather they want it to be casual - not professional. They don't want to have to deal with all the balancing issues inherent with competitive PvP, thus casual. They obviously want to balance for PvE, but as GW found out it's virtually impossible to balance for both at the same time without creating two sets of skills - PvP and PvE. Thus, I stand by my original statement - don't expect professional / competitive / whatever-you-want-to-call-it PvP. It's not likely.
