Blizzard went downhill because they cater to carebears and have dumbed down classic Diablo formula. Diablo 2 was so hugely successful and had such a long life due to competitive PvP. D3 hasn't even patched it in yet, and once they do then here comes re-balancing! Going to be the biggest mess ever. Terrible seeing a company bungle such a big IP.

Come up with a system that generates profit, path of exile is doing fine.
And i know many indie games that use their own engines.
Played that for the first two beta testing periods and it is awesome. It was pretty good, then they changed some things like skill interactions and functions and it is way better. It is Diablo 2's spiritual successor.

let the free market deiced on how much you can pirate!
I play EVE Online, which you pretty much need a BA in economics to be an industrialist in and PvP really means something because when a spaceship blows up it is gone and you better hope you have it insured.
I play DUST 514 on PS3, it is in Beta, and it is in the universe and uses the mechanics of EVE online...both MMO worlds are connected and share a server and interact in which EVE spaceships do orbital strikes and provide material support to DUST ground soldiers, and DUST ground soldiers/mercs secure planet surface area for mineral exploitation.
There is really no other game like EVE online. It is truly laissez-faire....no company interference to scamming, griefing, pirating, ransoming, etc, with a detailed market and contract system. It is always funny when some corporate CEO robs his corporation blind.
