Then why the F**# are people complaining? The ONLY major difference I see is that you can't openly hostile someone.... wait.. let me rephrase... you can't openly hostile someone 30 levels lower than you.
Honestly if you are worried about it being competitive..... ever heard of gamebattles?
Because this is DIABLO 3, not DIABLO 2 and what they added respawns IS NOT fun to everyone, atleast when you died in diablo 2 you didnt respawn back in the fighting area ready to start fighting again, reviveing during a fight in a diablo type of game is stupid and only ignorant pve'rs cant see that because they to busy reviven after geten owned by 5kb brained monsters.
