So, Blizzard, what exactly are you doing with Diablo III?

There are alos no stats, they allocate themselves so you won't waste your time choosing. What kind of people think that that's fun in any kind of way?

Whining? Maybe I am. But don't tell me I haven't thought about it, I've been playing and loving Blizzard games since Lost Vikings first came out and I've been keeping my eyes on this for a decade.

i really understand you and before i've played the beta i had same thoughts as you.

But consider that: you dont put skillpoints into your character anymore, but you choose what stats you prefer on your items just like before.

This is, for me, the same thing. And you can't make any unrevertable mistakes anymore.

Genius post, this is basically where the stat allocation went to.  Instead of making irreversible (prior to 1.13) stat allocations, you simply select the gear setup that will best work for your build.  That is also why there is a massive increase in the number of item sets and items period that allow players to tweak their builds any way they want to, without any repercussions.  They didnt remove stat allocation, they just made the process much more intuitive and user friendly, especially for people such as myself that work a full time job and attend school full time but would still love to enjoy d3 to its fullest.
