Now this is just not fair. Talk about contradicting your own rules. When other people posted this "speculation" of a release date on the forums all those topics were blocked. Why do you have the rite to post this and we do not?
I disagree with what you are saying. I think it's a good thing they posted this - on the main page where a lot of people where see it - because too many people are seeing fake release dates and getting super excited and spreading it around thinking it's a real release date. This post is bringing to attention that a lot of these dates are indeed fake, and people need to watch out for them. Basically telling all those gullible people out there to smarten up and stop being silly.
I guess there is a difference when someone posts a thread saying OMG THIS IS THE RELEASE DATE! vs when someone posts a thread saying it's speculation. Either way, I think the comments in those threads always end up going in the same direction anyway.
As for me, I'm not believing any release date until I hear it from Blizzard. I didn't know when to expect the game originally, and when the beta started in Sept, I had a guess in my head that it would come out in March 2012, based on something that Jay Wilson had said (that the Beta will start 6 months before release). I was actually surprised when they said originally they wanted it out this year and they had to push it back. I had no idea they wanted it to come out so soon. So really, I think it'll come out sooner than I expected, which is nice for me.
Yes, but the thing is I did post a thread called exactly: "Speculation: Potential Diablo 3 Release Date".
http://www.diablofans.com/topic/31092-speculation-potential-diablo-3-release-date/page__p__695023#entry695023
But that got blocked, it had the exact same intention as this thread does and did not for one minute say that the release date was true. So as you can see, I do feel kind of betrayed by the fact that this thread was created stating that the release date was merely "speculation" and that the moderator who blocked my thread said that the rules do not permit "speculation" threads. So, I stick with my case. =)

All these words are making my head hurt =(. Looks like my price range of $380 is sooo not going to cut it. So what I need is:
Sata ODD and HDD?
A PSU wattage thingo?
Graphics card
Motherboard
RAM
CPU
What I have:
My case is rather large (personal build)
I have a bunch of fans as coolers.
I have no idea what my PSU is or how to find out
No idea if I even have Sata ODD or HDD - still no clue what the hell they are even with all your feed back.
So yeah... I'm screwed unless I get someone to physically help me out lol.
Thanks sooo much for all the information - I knew I was dumb about computers, but man, you guys all sound like freaking quantum physicists (which I am familiar with lol). =)

Sorry, i'm an idiot when it comes to PC hardware. What is a sata ODD and a sata HDD? And how do I know if I have a 500 watt PSU.
I know - I don't have a clue =).

Requires X amount of points in tier 1 to access tier 2.
Wouldn't that solve everything?
This way people have to keep skill points in lower skills in order to acquire the higher level tiers. When they respec, they need to again apply X amount of skill points into the lower skills to access the higher ones. This solution is simple and effective. What are the disadvantages?
[EDIT] This can be done for each tier. X amount of skill points required in tier 2 to access tier 3 and so on...
