And what if the majority wanted Diablo 3 to be exactly what it is right now? Just speculating. What would you do then?
honestly id probably quit if pvp wasnt released
Seems you didn't understand my question. If you made your own company and you made Diablo 3 anew and the major part of the community actually liked it as it is right now... would you leave it as it is?
Well first you came in here whining and screaming, so instead of getting butthurt you COULD try adding to the thread. Or sit in a corner if you really want, doesn't matter.
whining and screaming? MY SOLUTION IS PTR AND LETTING THE COMMUNITY BUILD PVP. CLEARLY this is the only LOGICAL OPTION. if BLIZZARD doesnt know what the #$%!@ they are DOING let us decide and build on it.
was that enough QQ'ing and SCREAMING now?
It seems that it would bring you a tremendous amount of happiness if you just go out there, build a company, make a game and open a huge beta followed by months of PTR tests. Doesn't matter that almost no one does that in the game development world. There might be consequences to having so much testing. I don't know. I won't pretend I know much about it... but then... wouldn't all features just become boring if they're on a free-to-try PTR for months on end and then when they get released developers would _then_ start out to conceptualize new ideas since for the last few months they've been testing something else, closely following what the community says and balancing/redeveloping said features.
I don't know. Jay says "we have internal testers and they say this is boring on the long run". I suspect these people are gamers. I've been a tester myself and I know what it's all about. I've been super bored with some features and the company I worked for might've decided "yeah, it's fucking boring for us as well" and scrapped it.
I'm quite honest when I say - go. Go out into the world and tell investors "I'll test features for months with a few million players until all of them are happy with it". I completely and truly wish you the best of luck. If you succeed you'll be an awesome person. I'm really not sarcastic here. Go do it. Be the change you want to see. Go on kickstarter and try it. I'll be curiously following your progress.
I suspect though, that your community will absolutely always be divided. It's just a hunch (might be sarcastic here). I might've observed over the 2 decades I've played games that the community is never in the same boat, but is instead on different boats, in different seas, on different planets. But you go ahead and try to satisfy all of them.
What I can say is that dueling and the feedback that will come through it will help Blizz tremendously is any future PvP endeavors. So once 1.0.7 comes out I'm sure they'll start getting a much larger picture of how balanced characters, skills, runes and items are and go from there.

Oh I very much hope this is the case. There have been some awesome ideas proposed here on the forums and DotA is one of the best. Get it done Blizz.
