This is totally understandable. I cannot say I find d3 to be as entertaining as d2 which, in turn I did not find as enjoyable as the original. The evolution of the genre has gone in a direction which is good, but different from that which got me interested/addicted in the first place - even tl2 and path of exile, which are both touted as 'better' d2 successors, don't tick the boxes I would like ticking - I think in some respects I'm a bit of a dinosaur here.
That said, d3 does have a really good 'mind off & farm' mode which I can enjoy in small blasts, it just takes about 500 hours to get there unless you're insanely lucky! I happened to luck out with both drops and a thrift store mentality that I would deem incredibly unhealthy
Once you get to the 50k+ dps range and can swiftly farm low MP, rolling 1-4 legendaries per hour, or go in for the ubers, the game gets significantly more entertaining, though still somewhat lacking in real 'end game'. It is unfortunate that the amount of gametime or obscure info required to reach those heights for cheap is not readily accessible nor really appealing.. bad design I guess.
If anyone is looking to get back into stuff and doesn't mind taking bad advice on carving out a cheap but effective barb or wd build (monk feels significantly more pricey), I am happy to help out with getting folks on their feet. I can't promise it'll be your cup of tea, but it may provide a new lease of life to the game.
Make no mistake, I think that d3 is a huge miss on blizzard's part, but there are elements of what folks enjoyed in arpgs there, unfortunately they're pitched in a really strange place that will neither satisfy the super hardcore nor the really relaxed but earnest gamer.. I happen to fall into a really sadistic and dumb middle ground where the game hits a couple of good notes
There are lots of better games to be spending your time on for sure (xcom gogogoogogo
