Game's been out less than two weeks, and people are complaining that they can't full clear the difficulty that the game's designers said they wouldn't be able to do that fast. Imagine that. But the response is to ask for nerfs? From the same people that lambast Blizzard for nerfing anything in WoW, too. What ever happened to "But you need to work for it!"
Act II Inferno is to Act I Inferno as Hell is to Nightmare. So, the game really has seven difficulties. Normal, Nightmare, Hell and Inferno Acts 1-4. Inferno isn't meant to be done linearly with the rest w/o extensive farming. It's *for the people who want to farm*, not just roll through it WoW-raid style.
I don't see the problem, really. Keep in mind that less than 1% have even entered inferno, so you're talking somewhere under 60K out of 6+ million. Not a huge demographic at all.
Yes, some have chain-died and chain-resurrected to get through the questlines and bosses in Inferno, but that's not the same thing at all.
In a more on-topic comment, I'm not sure D3 needs 'saving', looks pretty good from here. Oh, sure, there's a few fixes needed here and there, and the AH is shaky still, but, that's not unexpected, especially when they sold a year's projected copies in a week. Blizzard supported D2 and SC1 for over 10 years, I'm sure they'll keep this one up a while, too.
