Diablo 3 is excellent if you can think of it as a stand-alone game and not a better Diablo 2 which is what people expected. Diablo 3 gameplay is about killing awesome monsters and having good reflexes while fighting them. Unfortunately, Blizzard HAD to let everybody know that it will have PVP so they would get better initial sales but that's how it works, sorry to the softies but this is an INDUSTRY, these people make the games for themselves, to make a good living and have artistic freedom requires some actions that may seem like selling out if you look at it from the outside in. It's not about Player versus Player and it's not so much about collecting gear because there is no Orgimmar to show it off in. It's about killing the highest caliber monsters and it's not easy with crappy gear. So I like the Auction House because I just want to kill the baddest monsters and have a cool looking character doing it. I don't have time to grind for 20 hours, staying up late, looking at the screen, I'll let somebody else do that for me and then I will give him $1.25 for the sickest Wand in the game and I go make the heavens tremble. So am I doing something wrong by saving 20 hours with $1.25? If it is in fact 'wrong', it will still remain, in fact, 'smart'.
