And what rune combos? Non sorc. characters were all using enigma's, teleporting? Zon's were all using Faith bow w/ fanaticism. And every build gave an infinity polearm to their merc to eliminate/reduce resists.

Everyone was running the same build in D2.
I see a little bit more diversity in D3. There are still alot of dead skills when you get into inferno, but at least all the damage scales with your weapons (again, go and look at the damage of the druid's volcano and boulders in d2, with MAX synergy, it will make you laugh).

Someone mentioned earlier that the grind for items are not as good in D3.
Well, as of right now, your character's progression is dependant 100% on your gear. If everyone were getting the drops that they want, this game would be too easy. And I do remember that there were many people complaining about how "easy" Diablo 3 was in the beginning, especially during the beta. And now alot of people are saying inferno is too hard.

It's hard to please everyone.

i totally agree with what you said there. i blasted through normal to hell with only drops and here and there AH items. but as you said, progression is 100% dependant on gear. i've been farming imps, butcher runs, you name it and nothing on par drops for inferno. this is whats making this game so boring and may perhaps lose a lot of players.
