Ideally it would be something extra that wouldn't interfere with other people's ability to enjoy the core of the game. And ideally you could have a PVP arena that wouldn't screw up the character balance in the core of the game. I can see all kinds of ways to screw these things up and just make people rage that much more. But clearly the approach with Inferno had some flaws.
It's fascinating to me with this new wave of games because the player base is so diverse and extremely demanding. You can't please them all even under the best of circumstances. And the genre has some cool things going but also some very stale cliches and sacred cows. I wouldn't want to be the PR guy.
