Mqstout, Hmm... I don't agree with you my friend
I haven't noticed the LAN play being left out... then again I don't do LAN get togethers so that does not bother me. I don't know if you have to be logged in to Battlenet to be able to play actualy, I'll check that later and let you know. And I too play only this multiplayer with people I know but we are not in the same room hehehe

You are wrong about the auction house, right now you spend only the gold you get in the game. I heard they plan on doing it with real money too but is not activated, nor do I care for it.
I don't see why people spend real money on virtual shit. But then again...you will always have dumb weak people who do so. My friend told me stuff like that ruined WOW for him.
As the stuff you create gets created at 50% random luck, people charge outrageous amounts of "gold" for an item so I'm not even bothered with that. I just checked it out to see what it was and once again I faced the fact that stupid people ruin the game for those who let them. I don't see an economy in it...some people see it as part of the game...others are not bothered with it.

John, I haven't played that much to get to level 18. You level up really fast so don't worry.
You are correct about not being able to gve points to certain skills. The way it works is that you make yourself stronger by the gear and weapons you carry. As you probably have noticed you find shitllouds of stuff. It is just a matter of trying stuff out.

As you level up your character gets stronger in his weapons. You unlock more stuff for the weapon to do and give it more punch. Mqstout does not really explains it how it actually works wih the runes and weaponskills. You can indeed switch between so there is ni commitment, like he says. But I do not see it like this. Every unlocked weaponskill is something your character learns. For example...when you used to shooting a shotgun but at some point you get your hands on a assault rifle. Does that mean you use the assault rifle and never use the shotgun again?
The way I play is that I switch my weaponskills acording to the situation I get my ass in.
I have ranged strikes who do damage over large distances wich is good in open plains but then I have also the ability to throw grenades and that comes in handy when I am in a dungeon.

Runes also get unlocked when you level up. And also there are other skills you learn and can use at all time because they are not locked to a weapon.
