Blizzard improving on ANET's Concepts
Over Last one year, I am noticing Blizzard is taking ANET's concepts (at least I heard about these from ANET first) and implementing a much better solution.
ANET's multiguild approach vs., Blizzard's community
In GW2 you can be part of multiple guild whereas in D3, you can be part of 1 guild but, can join multiple communities to participate in community activities where your clanmates can also participate. Hence, in D3, the issue of representing a clan/guild does not arise. Multi guild function in GW2 is broken as most of the big guilds will require 100% reprsentation.
Fractals vs. Rifts
Fractals were supposed to provide short, challenging content with increasing level of difficulty. Eventually, fractals ended up being a bigger effort than dungeons with lesser rewards.
Fractured vs. Greater Rifts/Patch 2.1
ANET promised leaderboards for fractals. Eventually, they realized that they simply could not implement it with the current form of fractals. I believe, Blizz took that concept and introduced greater rifts with leaderboards. They have solo, 2 ppl, 3 ppl and 4 ppl leaderboards for greater rifts.
Not that any of these things create any issues, but, I simply could not help noticing these.
