Yeah, I got that feeling too when reading his answer on symmetry. Not to start flames or anything, but man did Blizzard ever cop out on that by, rather than working on proper balance, they just give each side the classes in question that caused the problem in the first place (Paladin / Shaman).

All in all, great interview and I'm really glad to see that they've given great consideration to future itemization based on possible level cap raises, etc. That's something that can really kill a game... mudflation to the extreme, and you really seem to have to plan for it right from the get go instead of trying to deal with it when it happens.
