That is one of the characteristics on this forum. When someone asks a question, people post their opinions as if they were the final, well-knowledgeable, secure answers to everything. All this, no matter what, is purely subjective at this point.

This is true, but I don't think he was trying imply he knew exactly how things would be.
1. Opinion
2. Info direct from Blizz

Besides, how can we prove to those WoW players that Diablo is superior if we can't say "We don't NEED a 5th player to win like you do!"
