Diablo 3 Patch 1.0.7 (PTR) Although not out has me a little Giddy again

Diablo 3 yeah that game. That game that came out and for the most part only satisified people for a month or less. However, if you guys know me you know I played that game for several months and enjoyed it. I stopped playing it when I got bored (finally), then monster power came out and I played again and quit again. Then the Uber bosses and Hell Rings came out so I played again (and it was pretty fun for about 1-2 weeks), then alast I quit again. So I haven't played D3 for the past few months, but I just saw the recent patch notes for 1.07 thats coming to PTR soon and I have to say I'll probably play again.

Now you're asking why in the hell would you do that Erick? Why? Don't do it, its a trick! You know what you're probably right, but hey there's finally some form of a pvp mechanic, well sort of. Dueling will be in the game now! No, it isn't like D2 where you can go grief people and pk them (sad I know), but hey for all those that were waiting for pvp at least there's this. 4 people can enter into a zone for 1v1, ffa etc and thats going to be pretty cool for at least a few weeks. They aren't going to balance it, and yah probably some things are going to be broken to all hell but hey at least maybe you'll see some new builds/skills used that you didn't see in pve content. I literally ran the same build despite patches, just because it was what I thought was most efficient. They're of course adding more farm mechanic stuff, which I'll probably do (like a sucker) just to test it out and craft some new stuff.

Of course though this isn't for everyone and I agree it's not acceptable that pvp or a pvp mechanic took this long to even come out. They definitely didn't push a normal standard Blizzard product, the one that would be "done when it's done." However, for me these major patches will always get me coming back to play. I guess I can't help it. I had so many fun times with D2, and even D3. Major patches seems to bring everyone back too, which is also another incentive. I'll be looking to try to get a stream set up once we can either get on PTR or once the patch goes live. We can set up some sort of hour long dueling or dueling in combination with other stuff.

Your thoughts!?!
