is going to have to be about 10 times better than it sounds at present for me to leave Path of Exile. Path of Exile is a superior game in the vein of Diablo 2 than D3 ever will be. It's free to play, and it's not "pay to win" either, like D3 ended up being. You can buy stuff but it's things like more stash space, non-combat pets and weapon effects like glowing (vanity items, character slots and stash space). In other words, you still have to play the game, trade for things and hunt for loot.

Of course, who am I kidding? With Blizzard's track record, the expansion will likely be out in 2016 with about 1/3 of the features they claim it will have currently, and take 6 months to be patched into playable.
