*Picks jaw up off floor.*
Wow. I didn't think they'd do this ... wasn't expecting it at all ...
Boy-oh-boy, put me down as excited. It looks like Single Player is finally going to have parity with Ladder Bnet! What a most welcome development!

Just wanted to add my two cents on how I see this.
1. They added all ladder stuff to everywhere not because they are kind
and this is the right thing to do.
Its because we wont see ladders for quite some time. (we could live a week without ladder, alright?)
2. It is good news but only for singleplayer, where there were no means to obtain those items. (well almost)
In multiplayer, it makes sense that playing ladder gives rewards besides titles. I remeber perfectly how fun it was to wait till you ladder char brings the goodies to yer non ladder char.
Trading ladder only stuff on non ladder.
My opinion: they are screwing with core things.
3. Just thought I mention this as well,
the fact that they said that there is "old diablo 2 running beneath". Thats bollocks. Client - server relationship changed quite a bit. Now you have some sort of "transactions" going on even when you buy pots. I noticed some skills where straight not working - double swing, for example.
Stamina drained faster, etc.
Those are indicators that, if diablo 2 old core is still present, its has been disturbed.
Lets recap some things:
1. We are not sure that we will have 100% single player (might require to login first)
2. no tcp ip
3. no ultrawide
4. no ladders (member diablo 3 pvp?)
Thats why we got those sweet ladder items everywhere now.
5. Consoles no lobbies, no chat. Cant create or join custom games.
(They took their time to implement this, dont expect this to change at all)
Now you might say, that " but we still have pc version, its cool there right?" Wrong.
Cant create channels, lobby does not even have same character list in the bottom. (empty). Dont expect this to happen anytime soon too.
6. The bonus point. They advertised it to be same as diablo 2 but better graphics. Well its not the same. I hope they will bring it close to what it was. But I work in software development and I know that money wont buy you faster and better products. They have one month to fix the bugs. Trust me, Its not guaranteed that even the bugs will be gone. We will see more where that came from.
7. The ending has to be happy, message cant all be negative, so I will say this: playing diablo 2 with a controller, just wow.
