I have a feeling shouts from barb and the endless fortify on druid are going to get hit.

1. 
   
2. While we want players to both feel and be truly powerful, some Class builds and synergies are outside of our bounds for what is reasonable for the health of the game, so we are reducing their effectiveness. As an example, we generally want to avoid creating situations where players can survive unreasonably high amounts of damage for long periods of time because it too greatly warps our vision for how combat should be in Diablo IV.
4. Some skills and builds are not as effective as we would like, so we're pushing out some buffs to increase their strength.
6. Paragon Glyphs are currently providing too much player power, so we're reducing their overall effectiveness.

Are you dumb? You have to be completely unreasonable in one direction or the other as a gamer.

Sarcasm aside your post is logical, and game reviews, anticipation, and just being reasonable about what you're actually experiencing within a game world hasn't been logical, or reasonable in a while.

You can't count on anyone to just tell you what they actually think about any major title these days. It's going to swing in an extreme direction to try and prove a point.

Instead you have Fires of Fucking heaven filled with "boy, I got to level 25 tonight and it's probably the most fun I've had in gaming" reviews. Even this forum is turning into a fucking joke when it comes to real opinions on a game.

Get towards the end game, play through the loop a bit, and then give me your review. I didn't buy this game because it looks to be rife with timegated daily bullshit. If people here were getting into that gameplay loop, and could give honest feedback about whether or not Blizzard finally abandoned that bullshit I might actually buy the game.

Instead I'm pretty sure I can't even come here to get a worthwhile opinion on a game anymore.

1. Seasonal content a la POE Leagues that are more interesting than D3 GR and keep players coming back.
2. Willingness to make skill/class changes regularly to change things up.
