ok but let's put all these people you're seeing into perspective...Nope..I have to believe you are mistaken with that "fraction" part. I visit a lot other forums and any time D3 mentioned a lot of hate is generated, which is out weighed by the positive comments roughly 20:1. The fact that Blizzard has done massive changes on a ton of things due to gamers complaints should tell you that. Like I said I really enjoy the game but if you think its going to be one of the greatest of all time that is plain delusional...
would you say you are seeing 100 unique forum account complainers?
or ten times that at 1,000 people?
let's jus shoot for the moon and give you ten times that at 10,000 people.
I doubt you have read 10,000 people complaining about the game but if you have that is still only less than 1% of the current, active *playing* population.
100,000 people complaining would still only be less than 1% of the total *buying* population and closer to .05% by this time assuming that Blizzard managed to sell at least half as many more copies after the first year as they did in 2012.
forums for people to voice their opinions magnifies the issues like a bullhorn even if those people are a tiny slice of the population.
