This is a really interesting question...

I think the most important single issue to me is security of Battle.net from hacks and any type of bot. I do sympathize with Sully about all characters looking the same in terms of gear, but the main problem with Uniques and Sets was that the economy was so saturated with dupes and botted items. Shakos are quite difficult to find legitly, and I've honestly never found a Levi in my entire time running Baals etc (And I used to help on Ponys runs to kill Baal for him)... I guess I'm saying I don't really mind the current system, as long as it is kept legitimate, and that Ladder resets happen on a more regular basis.

An excellent thing Hell Unleashed added was that 90/95 Uniques needed to be found from extremely difficult bosses on extremely long runs.. I remember that it took 5-6 hours to do a legit Baal run from WSK, and honestly, thats the way it should be. People SHOULD die on a regular basis, even really good players.. so I suppose difficulty is also very important to me as well.


TPPK ruined the game, chicken was fucking pathetic, so was maphack. I admit to using these hacks in my time on D2, but I guess as I matured, I realized that they really took a lot away from the game.

So yeah, Security, followed by the ladder resetting fairly often (No more than 6 months), followed by difficulty.. those are my hopes for D3.

PS: Although I was really doubting at first when they announced D3, I think I've realized that really, Blizzard can be counted on to make this game right. I cannot think of a single game they have made that did not surpass expectations of their target audience, and they are aiming at Diablo players now. I really do not think we have anything to worry about. I would prefer to have Blizzard do this than any other game company I can think of.
