I can't imagine how bad heads would roll if D3 was a flop. Add that on top of Plummeting accounts in WoW and yeah...
That being said, I hope D3 is full of greatness.
GW2 is gunna destroy everything on the market if it has a good release.
I hope future MMO's start changing things up like GW2 is trying.

About 50+ million console PVPers will completely disagree with you. 
People who actually like PVP have been waiting for many years for an MMO that finally grasps how to do PVP.
Are you referring to FPS players in your 50+ million console players? Totally different animal in my opinion, FPS and PvP in a MMORPG.
Actually that is what I was referring to. If everyone has the exact gear, stats and skills as everyone else, why PvP in a MMORPG and not just play a FPS? I'm all for the gear and stat balance, and if players are the same class, I'm in for the skill balance as well.
What I was saying was basically the only way for true balance is to make everyone an exact clone of everyone else, no matter the class you play, and that would be boring to me. The reason I play MMORPGs instead of an FPS is because I can play different classes.
So to clear up my original question, are there classes in PvP? If so, you will not have true balance. I'm not saying it will not be a great game or great PvP, simply the only way to get true balance will be to clone every player FPS style and that would be boring to me, as I like to play different classes.

WTF? Are you stupid? Have you never played a team based FPS with a class system? You can in fact achieve balance in PvP with different classes, it's called designing around the team and not 1v1.
"why PvP in a MMORPG and not just play a FPS"
Because they are two entirely different kinds of games, duh? I'm starting to think I've figured out the answer to my 'Are you stupid?' question.

Half life TFC is what you call balance,8 classes that can do different tasks.
As for wow ,when someone else tells me how I should be playing the game,I know they are wrong and im right.Why would another player care what items I have and where I got them from? I play to have a bit of fun and challenge and the weekly model to get an extra item each week is very dull.

"why PvP in a MMORPG and not just play a FPS"
Because PVP STARTED in an MMORPG, called "Neverwinter Nights" on AOL....
And even before that, in all of the text based BBS games...
There was no endgame, only level to cap, and PVP over the hunting grounds that dropped the best loot.
All of this PVE endgame crap came much, much later.

I don't get the big deal. It is a game I have never seen any game played daily that doesn't get old. I loved wow at release played multiple accounts for 5 years then just sort of dropped off in interest. I think most people would over time. I see new people starting and they are just like I was at the start.
