Loot is still boring, AH still matters too much, and itemization is that of a MMO, meaning it's boring as fuck +10 stat upgrades that aren't fun. Yes, they said they're going to make diablo2 like items where you can create completely new builds off an item, which is cool, but that hasn't happened yet. The game will be fixed almost a year and a half, if not longer after release and become a good game, but that doesn't change the fact the game was not Diablo at release.
In diablo3, hell is incredibly boring and easy, the loot is vastly inferior and because of this you can't really just sit in hell most of the time. I was really bad at video games and like 11 when I played diablo2 and spend most of my time in NM doing meph, and he dropped AMAZING items like shaftstop, occy, travs, that +MF armor, etc. NM was still pretty challenging unless you had godly uber gear, hell in Diablo3 gets easy once you get like 100k gold of gear off the AH or even play for like 10 mins in hell @_@.
The itemization and any item below ilxl 63(i think that was the level?) being completely useless and so much weaker/inferior makes doing anything but inferno a waste of time, we don't have unique items with special stats like damage reduction, all stats, and other nice stuff making lower level items still amazing in the highest tier of buiilds. I can't build up a good amount of money, or trade for better stuff farming hell, like I could farming NM in Diablo2. I can barely progress my character at all.
