Very glad to see people are on high alert after the Diablo Immortal disaster. I don't think there will be p2w in D4 but it is good to be skeptical.
if I had a CHOICE, I would play Witch Doctor in D4. Since I do not, it's going to be Druid or Necro. But I'll hold out hope that maybe in the 2nd expansion (after we get Crusader in the first expansion) we might get Witch Doctor. I'd looooove to see them get the D4 treatment with more grit and gore and voodoo vibes.
Yes and No on that one.
Witchdoctors are not a negative stereotype, I mean they can be, but they are misunderstood though, most Witch Doctors from India or Africa are actually healers who had remedies to protect others against witchcraft. To this day exist and are seen as a positive thing. I do think that the concept behind the stereotypical idea of Witchdoctors is that they are the complete opposite and that there is more the issue.
So Witch Doctors can still be a thing in Diablo, just they need to be portrayed correctly :P

Be careful with words. Chances or increased chances to get power isn't player power yet they could sell those. BoE cosmetics that sell for currency between players isn't player power yet you can legally buy gold and then buy gear from other players.
They've played with words many times before so I think it's not in my best interests to make assumptions on their cleverly crafted semantics.
Sad they have all but given up on Mac support for their games outside of WoW. Budget must being getting slashed left and right.
With DI they said they wouldn’t have sold gear. That is “technically” still true because gems are not “gear” per se.
If they talked specifically about “not selling player power” it’s way more inclusive that simple “gear”.
Do I trust them about this? No. Am I somewhat confident they won’t sell pp stuff? Yes.
As long as its done respectively and communicated with people who are from that culture. A bunch of white people just doing a White Doctor through not knowing anything outside of stories and stereotypes is the big issue.
As for the Asian on black people thing thats a whole barrel of fish I aint ready to answer lol.
