Diablo 3 is fundamentally broken

[Mavfin]

Well, I basically didn't play D2 Classic--

This would make quite a difference in what you remember. You saw a game that had been out a year or more already and had the worst stuff fixed. Things that were quite as broken as some things are now, if not more.

D3 is a new game. It's only been out a month as of yesterday, but people are talking like it should have been all patched up and all errors out of it already. Didn't happen in D2, and won't happen here. Doesn't matter how long it's been in development, doesn't matter if they had used 100K beta testers to test all the way through Inferno. No amount of QA or beta can predict the things multiple millions of players will do, and, I submit that a lot of the exploits for gold and experience might not have surfaced in beta anyway, because it wasn't 'for real' then.

Yes, I know there are issues with the DH class especially, and with Inferno. I still think Inferno was made too hard on purpose, and they'll tune it to how people are playing, rather than risk 'too easy' out of the gate again. The tuning is on the way, and class stuff is in the first 1.x.0 patch. It's coming.

Of course, I love that if I criticize you at all, you tell me I'm pulling up a strawman, but, you can say that D3 is horribly broken and you're not doing that at all. <shrug>
