Ok, here's a constructive post.

Diablo 3 is bad because the itemization is WoWesque and linear fueled by the devs love of herpity derp "big numbers are fun"
Diablo 3 is bad because all of the depth from D2 was removed. There is no character customization, build customization, or runes. EVERYTHING is defined by set pieces.
Diablo 3 has no world pvp or balanced pvp of any sort.
Cain was killed by butterflies.
Azmodan never shuts up.
The entire story is a hand-holding experience designed for 10 year olds.
The devs said themselves D3 was designed to only be played a little bit, then everyone's supposed to return to WoW and pay them subs.

Is that enough or shall I go on?

are you arguing that diablo 2 had balanced competitive pvp? cause that's the only problem I have with your list ;p.

You can go on if you wish, but it needs to be directed to the correct thread. This isn't titled "Dispirit's Personal Grievances with Jay Wilson". Please use the search function and find the appropriate thread to add your voice to. As an aside, I think your points are shallow, imply no knowledge of the current state of the game, and a lack of maturity to adequately have a meaningful discourse on the game.

It had a much more competitive scene than D3 ever allowed. It was never particularly balanced but it was fun. D3 devs just decided pvp isn't allowed because they screwed up itemization so bad. Everything would pretty much have to be completely reworked and they've given up on the franchise too much to bother.

Newsflash, Josh didn't fix anything with the game. Show me a build that doesn't rely on crit/crit damage and i'll show you a t1 build. The game is more shallow than my opinions and my maturity is probably dead on for the target audience of the game so I'm just speaking at your level so you can understand ; )

This is still the correct thread to inform the OP as to why he should not come back to the game.

Stop now. If you have an issue with moderation, please come talk to one of the global mods, such as myself. Do not continue to derail the thread with it.

I do have to agree with you on the crit/crit damage portion, as that duality is very bad for gear progression, as its either crit or GTFO. I proposed a series of gear stat changes a while back at http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/13764516353#1. If you want, take a look at it and give me feedback here, or at http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/16953815659#2, a newer thread with a few of my thoughts on the recent changes (Especially dealing with Legendary Gems, which further exacerbate the RNG issues in D3 loot.)

This has to be bait. But damnit i'll bite.
"big numbers are fun" - it is. The greater the crits the more i squeel with glee. Its a hack and slash game and i love overkilling monsters
"there is no customization" - U wot m8? you can play exactly like you want. and a single item can change your entire build. also, dyes, transmog and portraits/pennants
"Diablo 3 has no pvp" - Diablo was never a blanced pvp game, pvp was never a focus. if you don't like it, play a game that focuses on pvp
"Cain was killed by butterflies." - They're moths you doofus.
"Azmodan never shuts up" - this is what classic villians do. they tell you of their plans so we (the hero) can stop them.
"hand holding story" - Are you implying the story was any better in the previous games? the only difference is that you could skip some quests in d2.
"the devs said..." - Source please? because last time i checked, they wanted people to play their game. not the game of the other dev teams.
