Well I agree mostly with what you said, but I think you are grouping some complaints that are valid in with a few that are whines. From what I have read here I did not see that many that were complaining about not being able to solo in players 8. I personally like 98% of the changes they have made. About the only things I don't like was the nerf to MF, some of the skill synergies need more work, and the difficulty needs to be scaled back about 25%. I wanted it more difficult, much more difficult, but when you can barely survive in a 1 player game with all of the best gear in the game, that of course you will never find, then its a bit over the top. Thats what I expected for a 1 player very good equipped character, as in one with attainable items. I want new challenges, and having to learn skills.
You know it is a beta patch that they wanted feedback on. As in our opinions on the changes they have made. Albeit constructive critisism. Mine as to difficulty is as follows; cut back the hitpoints on monsters by about 25%. The greatly increased range of monsters for spells and revives, along with their speed, and new regenerative powers is great, make thems a much greater challenage. It should be hard to kill them, but when dealing 5K plus physical and 100's of points of various elemental damage barely nicks their life, then maybe they have a bit much life.
