Also you have five difficulties now and each time you bump up the difficulty you get bonuses to gold and xp, so right now I'm on the second hardest difficulty and I'm getting an extra 200% of both.
It's the same boss fights, it's the same story, it's all the same thing you've played before but it feels new. The only way you can get better gear is the Diablo 2 way of farming them, which is what it should've always been. IMO they've nailed the difficulty and the fact they've taken out the Auction House is the other reason why I really like the game now.
It almost makes me even more frustrated that they didn't release this game first instead of the abomination they threw out there for us fans to waste our money on. I know alot of the other people who bought it originally will never go back to it, but I'm really enjoying it.

All they had to do was improve on the Diablo II system. D2's skill system with how synergies worked, and the amount of skills, made each toon you made vastly unique from other. Now everyone uses the same skills and feels the same. The expansion rectified a lot of things, but I agree, the new loot & difficulty system should have been there release day.
