*[http://www.petitiononline.com/d3israd/petition.html Petition to support Blizzard] - 815
One of the petitions against the new art direction got quite popular, and Blizzard originally did not comment on that petition on itself. There was also petitions starting to support Blizzard's decision. The number of signs on the different petitions are probably not a good guideline for what fans think in general however, as the fans who do like the current direction really has no reason to sign a petition for it. Only fans that reacted to the complaining by other fans would probably do so.
 
===Responses to Complaints===
Among other fans, popular web comic site [http://www.penny-arcade.com/ Penny Arcade] didn't quite think the changes required such a violent response, and made a somewhat satiric response to it.
