My problems with the drop system

[FoxBat]

My worry is they are going to run into a WoW style PvP vs PvE skill problem but it will be a HC vs SC economy issue instead of skills. In WoW most balance changes were because of PvP imbalance. In D3 most of the economy changes are going to be balanced around hardcore.

Jay said that Inferno itself was not balanced for HC. Why on earth would the economy be? Even if it somehow ended up more balanced, it wouldn't be for Blizzard particularly trying.
