I don't deny that WoW can be a good game, but as I said on my first posts, I just can't get into any MMO.
It's WoW's fault particulary, it's the lack of a motivator, to me, in the entire genre.
As for Diablo 2 not having the amount of dedication that WoW has, I shall have to disagree. The game has been going strong for the past 10 years, with the latest official patch being released just a couple of weeks ago, which majorly revamped the ladder in battle-net. If that's not dedication then what is it?
Also, there's a dedicated community that has been going around since Diablo 1 and will continue to hang out the day that Diablo 3 launches. Alas, the Diablo 3 announcement led to a major spike in the number of players on Diablo 2 once again. It was season 1 2003 all over again, a good nostalgic feeling.
As you say those things to me for WoW, I can probably say the same to you, as you've probably never played Diablo 2 to finally get that Hellfire Torch with +2 Skills and +4 Stats, which was like winning a proverbial lottery in the game. And you know what? that's perfectly fine, because Diablo 2 is not for everyone, that doesn't make it special nor better, as long as the people that love the game, enjoy it, then it's doing a good job.
The same for WoW as well.
