Diablo 3 is, and shall always be, a PvE game. The PvP Arena is something they support, but it's not supposed to be a very balanced experience and it most certainly is not meant to be an Esport. And I completely agree with that decision. Don't get me wrong. I love me some PvP action, but only so far as to have some fun with friends. If you want Esports, you'll have to play Starcraft.
Edit: I realize some people want it to be a lot more competitive, and I sympathize, but for those people I think the bottom line is that's not going to happen.
Edit 2:
Why the hell is this guy so adamant about not allowing a competitive scene to take hold in Diablo 3?
This is my personal opinion and only speculation, but I think the main reason is because having a ranking system and matchmaking and all that jazz really isn't as easy as one might think to develop. Those types of systems are actually really complex and require a shit ton of testing. And if Blizzard is going to do anything at all, they're going to do it damn well and I don't think they're willing to do it. If they did, they'd have to maintain that system as well, and it WOULD have to have some sort of separate ladder reset system. This really confuses the entire Battle.net experience altogether.
