No RMAH. No starter edition. No gold sellers. No region locking. Just a game, made by the same people as made D1 and D2, and for less than half the price of D3.

72 hours will slow down people from buying a bunch of copies for bots/etc because they will have to wait.
I like it. I see a lot of complaining about DRM- but they are just the cry babies who want to steal copies and not pay. simple as that. the rest of us real fans sucked it up, waited, and are now ignoring the dainty little crap, are enjoying the game the way it was meant to be.
