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. =)

With the second question, I'm personally not to concerned about difficulty at this stage, and only will be when I actually play Diablo 3 and get to nightmare and hell. For now, I'm satisfied with putting my trust in the dev team.

I am really excited what they are doing with Diablo 3 in relation to having the story being narrated to you while you continue playing. Even though, I personally would literally stop everything and pay full attention to each one I got. =)

I really like the variety of different resource systems that have implemented thus far. I just hope that we can go around with killing sprees similar to Diablo 2 without have to many breaks to replenish our resources in between. =)

I would really love to see a bunch of gameplay videos when beta is released, that is probably all I will do with my time... Unless I get into beta lol.

I just had to sign up and make an account so I could reply to the rubbish that has been stated above.
One of the MAIN things that made Diablo 2 fun was SPAMMING your strongest skills. Oh the nostalgia of running around with your high level sorceress and SPAMMING ice orb was the most fun I have had in any game I have ever played. What the hell are you talking about that it is not fun!!!!
And second of all - the Diablo series is foremost and primarily a HACK'N'SLASH game... That means plowing through mobs with ease and comfort!!! That is what made Diablo 2 so successful!!! No one would have been playing Diablo 2 for freaking 8 years if you couldn't do these things mentioned above. THEY WERE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE GAMEPLAY OF DIABLO FFS!
It is this total pwnage gameplay that makes Diablo, Diablo.
PS: I don't mean any offence, just personal opinion.
