@Elia Moroes: Also, While Civilization and Simcity are certainly Genre Definers in their own right, Neither of them are Real Time Stratagy games. (Civilization is perhapse the original 4X game, and is Turn-based. Simcity is A city-builder. Neither are usually referred to as RTS's )

@Elia Moroes: Welcome to the world of rational Debate! I'll have to disagree on that opinion, however, since it's pretty much a matter of historical fact that War craft introduced a great many of the features that are now commonplace in Modern RTS games.

says alot about d3 players
nothing wrong about stat allocation if there is a way to reset points so mistakes can be undone if someone ever wants to minmax
just put a explanation of what each stat does and tell each class about how important it is for them, and how much they should have
that dog
over 13 years ago
Taytay is right but that guy is seriously wrong.
The auction house will kill endgame minmaxing, preventing hardcore player to easily access stuff unless they want to pay real money, but they dont because they are not 12 yrs old
also assign stats and skills is simple. a 2 yrs old could do it.

This is why I hate it when they boost the level cap. It means it takes longer to max out a character, all that gear you spent forever farming becomes useless, and the only people who are happy are the people who were screaming for a level cap... and once they hit the new one, they'll start up again

Also: yes. The world is pure greed, People want to get paid for their Work just as much as anyone else, more so in the current economy. This really isn't something that should surprise anyone, or be held against blizzard. The companys that arn't greedy? They go out of business.

[url=#user_comment_75813]@Olej[/url]: instant updates, Access to the Auction house even while playing single player, the ability (potentially anyway) to jump in and out of multiplayer at any time. Has it been confirmed that you have to be *constantly* connected to the internet to play even single player? Or just to register?

The other answer to the Auction house thing is this: A) if you don't like it, just use gold instead, you don't have to use real money. B) There have always been people willing to give you cool stuff for Real money. I'd personally rather pay blizzard than someone who's going to run off with my money.

If you want less companies to use Heavy DRM, Pirate less of their games. I frankly find it idiotic to blame and hate on the big successful company, for doing nothing more horrible than putting out great, successful games and then attempting to actually get paid for the work they did.
