I read the thread yesterday and it seems like legit problems and concerns to me, by the game's MVPs no less.
FYI for duders itt who are curious: Most complaints revolve around what will be the new endgame for lvl 70 in RoS. Lifesteal is gone(weakly replaced by LoH and regen)in the RoS beta and the cool down on elite and champ damage is apparently off and unfair in terms of mitigation above Torment 3(the new diff past master, and the equivalent to the old monster powers above 5 or so).
Item trading is available only in the co-op game as drops happen, and all legs are currently account bound so there are concerns with that, understandably. Legendary drop rates are extremely low and those item stats on what drops are not commensurate with frequency. I'm only playing on the PTR and I can vouch for most of that complaining. The new mystic will be the new time sink and leg gamble to get improvements using the 'bad' legs as the mat is my understanding.
Monster xp is less than live in the PTR and beta and paragon lvling is much slower as an effect; perhaps in reaction to the new 'paragon points allocation' feature(great idea on its own imo)and the paragon cap elimination.
Sounds like the new Crusader class is too weak currently, mainly offensively, and exacerbated because of the current drop rate and weak RNG affixes still on legs, considering the new torment diffs specifically. Also, the latest beta/PTR update is bugged in terms of primary affixes(level reduced on items instead of any primary stat)on most rare drops, which means smart loot is broken for now(this particularly baffles me).
I think these guys are very passionate about their fav game and just want the D3 team to listen and react. They've made a ton of sensible suggestions too. Cancelling preorders seems overly dramatic, but I get their desperation. Overall it's a beta still and things will be fixed and balanced at some point, but on the other hand it is concerning considering the expansion is just two months off. Can't blame the invested D3 player for not wanting to go through the endless patch/update process with RoS when it drops, especially considering what has been the never ending process with D3 live up until now.
