I like your ideas, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
One thing I'd love to steal from WoW and have added to D3 would be the inclusion of a ridiculous amount of quests. That was always my favourite part of WoW -- the ability to go on a seemingly endless series of varied quests. I'd also make most (maybe 95%) of the available quests completely optional. There should be a series of solid storyline quests to proceed through the game, but please don't force me to perform tedious and uninteresting quests every time I create a new character.
Bring back the character skill from D1, and expand on it. Tradeskills, maybe?
Whatever Blizzard does, I do not want to be forced to party up with internet strangers to be able to "complete" D3, even if I choose to play a Battle.net realm character (if such a thing will be implemented, and I don't see why it wouldn't).
I want a secret D1 dungeon, which recreates the original game in 3D. I would dearly love to hack and slash my way from Church to Hell in first-person 3D. Can you imagine how horrifying the Butcher would be? A big ole blast of Chain Lightning would be super cool when viewed from first person as well.
Please abolish the Normal/Nightmare/Hell difficulty levels. There has to be a better way of making the end-game content tough without resorting to forcing players to play the same areas over and over again. From a game storyline standpoint, difficulty levels make zero sense.
