I think i'd only be interested in D3 anymore if they completely changed thier core demographic from the SC/
WoW/d2 kiddies they got. I stopped playing D2 around 2005 when the only way to ensure you would actually get a good game was to direct-connect lan game, as hackers abounded in both b.net open and closed.
I had a lightning sorc that was awesome but it wasn't a MF metorb so it wasn't good for runs which became 90% of the online multiplayer games (the other 9% were trade 4 runez) then so it never got used, because we all know the only 3 areas in d2 are cows, mephisto, and bloody foothills since those were the only areas anyone played online. Either that or they'd turn hostile as soon as you left town and have a 360 degree multishot bowazon with artifact bow kill you. That or join a multiplayer game, get run to all the waypoints, sit on hands while people defeat baal. Repeat for nightmare mode. Do mephisto runs in hell, sitting on my hands while a level 80 metorb does all the work, because everyone's been run to hell mode and is only level 15. It got boring REALLY fast.
Sadly, that transferred to
WoW too, most people simply want a level 70 to go through and kill everything in their way and soak up the exp and loot instead of actually planning out how to get through instances and working as a team. :/
