the bigger problem is going to be that the best items come from the game mode that requires a team so no more diablo 2 farm stuff yourself.
Can you provide a link, where someone from Blizzard stated, that you need a "team" to do certain aspects of the game?
I'm just curious, I have a built in team, as me, the wife, and at least one of my sons will be playing it.

The hardest mode will be called "inferno" mode. they essentially said the max level in diablo iii is 60. the hardest game mode with the best loot will start with mobs being level 61+ and is intended to be done with a group.
actually, here's just the whole diablo iii quote of that article since theres a ton in it to wade through to find it.

While we've seen a lot of new information on Blizzard's upcoming online action RPG Diablo III recently, until now we didn't know how the game's difficulty modes would work. In Diablo II, players progressed from level 1 to 99 through three difficulty levels: normal, nightmare and hell. At Gamescom this week, Blizzard revealed that Diablo III will feature all three of these difficulty modes plus an additional Inferno mode.
The level cap has been reduced to 60, and the enemies in Inferno mode will start at level 61. A full team of highly skilled level 60 players will be needed to tackle Inferno content, making it a form of co-operative endgame that was sorely lacking in the game's predecessors. The best gear in the game will drop here, with better stats than equipment dropped in hell and unique visual styles

People who think they're going to make tons of RL loot are forgetting one important thing... Chinese farmers and other 'professional' outfits.
What's decent money per hour in China (or even parts of Eastern Europe), is way less than what a US kid can make flipping burgers. This is not going to be an isolated economy as far as I understand it -- so you'll be competing against essentially slave labor working (and selling) for next to nothing.
I'm sure in the first few weeks people will be able to make some money before the economy settles in, but I think folks are in for a rude awakening if, as a US (or western European) gamer, you expect to making ph4t lewt off of D3. I could be wrong, but I think people's expectations are way too high.

Heh, more forced grouping.
The game was already a no for me, this makes it a "hell no".

Just to add something to this 'forced grouping', there is no record anywhere, of any Blizzard employee stating what was said here, in an interview.
This is a speculation by the guy who wrote the article, and anyone who has played any amount of the diablo series, knows that a forced group environment is completely opposite of what has made the franchise great.

Will we be allowed to laugh when the forced grouping is confirmed? Well, I will anyway.
You need to read the keywords... notably "best gear" and "highly skilled players".
Think "eSport", "Arena", etc... along with the AH for real life money... doesn't it ring a bell? No? Really? If not, then you're not able to think on your own anymore...

They have already said they had no intention of turning the D3 arena into an e-sport.
Forced group or not, I'm not concerned.
Me, my wife, my son, my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and probably brother-in-law will all be playing.
So we will have a group of people, who ironically, also go to the same hockey games on the same nights, and are free to play together on the same nights.
no planning, just playing.
I'm just of the belief, that diablo has never been about forced grouping, so why start now?
I mean, diablo with forced groups is called guild wars, let those people go there.

Do you think Blizzard will hesitate turning Diablo III's endgame into a "raid-like" grind if it brings them more profit? Really?
We all know you are always over-hyping the latest "cool upcoming game" here, but please... keep a cool head here. Some of us have learned, some haven't even after 10+ years of online gaming. You're in the second category... but yeah, Aion's gonna be the coolest game ever and it's gonna kill WoW
PS: Asheron's Call has never been about forced grouping until Turbine released Asheron's Call 2. We all know how it ended.

Korrigan plays a DK and frost mage in WoW, so you can basically ignore everything he says.
