I have been a online d2 playa since early 1.10, and made it to the top levels of Pvp; the best thing about D2, for me, was the intense funpk and clan officals.
PvP
-Lets face it it, after you beat the story a couple of times, the thing that kept people playing was the desire to be dominant in PvP, this desire it what fueled all those countless baal runs/ mf runs/ trade games and g rushes. PvP is wat kept D2 alive for all these years and i hope blizzard can recapture
-I think the large skill/gear gap made PvP so great in D2, there was someone always better than you and you really had to work hard and practice to win pvp. I DONT think BLizzard should decrease this skill gap; i think if blizzard caters for the 'casual' gamer to much the pvp will be ultimatley empty and unsatisfying. The fact that it was hard to dominate a 'pub pk' is what made it so rewarding.
-Perhaps a Pk areana which betting/spectacting/clan options are available could be used to cater for competive Pvpers, whilst a 'Pot luck' areana could be set up for casual player parties which could randomly select a gametype like 'face waves of monsters', or 'first person to kill 30 monsters', etc.
-There should be still some skill required to PvP, (like name and chainlocking in D2).
-Clan features for players who have finished the story mode or something.
Trading
-Auction house/Gold as currency.

Anyway i hope they bring back a druid character, but perhaps mix it up with the Sorc/mage archtype. Assasins were shitty, i agree, they where useless in pvm, however in team pvp their Mind Blast was usefull and if u used chaos claw u could make a pretty gg hybrid ww sin.

Of course they will have different aliases, but the general themes will be the same.

Also it would be cool if they added a feature which allowed players to toggle between 'BM' (bad manners) and 'GM' (good manners) PVP 'areana types' or rooms. Another cool feature i think is the ability to place bets (using gold) on pk's.
discuss.
