Let me guess, you're stuck at grift 70? Diablo is all about the farming, sure you get a bunch of stuff when you hit 70 now, with the gift. But to be able to climb you still have to farm a shit ton to get the right pieces, and paragons. Not sure how "everything is handed to you" fits in to be honest.
The game is bad because the Diablo crew is too small, and every season is the same now, with minimal changes to sets. Compared to earlier, when every season there was a bunch of new items that would change up builds completely.
