If the game hadn't been billed as Hell being party only from the start, I would have agreed with you. Even if you bought it based on reviews that said Hell was a joke (which it was). The game was marketed as a multiplayer game (free play on battle.net). Yeah, Blizzard screwed up, but they said from the start what they intended. You purchased knowing that stated goal. So, if you get screwed, I feel bad for you, but I still don't think it would be the wrong decision. Nothing personal.
I won't repeat the rest of what I said a few posts up. I will only restate that this opinion is based on the current state of the game, stated and implied design goals, and economic speculation based on extremely limited data.
I only posted this because of the new point that it raised, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to clarify anything else.
(and yes it is my posting nature to try and be overly careful to insure that I am conveying what I mean so I repeat myself a lot and state the obvious as well).
