With that said, I want to also say that I don't mean to insult the OP when I say what I am about to say:
MMO's are mmo's for a reason, they are designed to be a time-sink, whether you admit that, or not. There is no single-player in WoW, or mmo. Questing solo is not single-player mode, that's called questing alone in an MMO. I feel like people have been jaded by the ability of online oriented games, WoW, to quench their thirt and keep them busy for so many hours, that if another game doesn't do just that, that is is a failure. This is a jaded, false opinion of a game that makes no sense. 100 hours into diablo 3, and it didn't live up? Do you realize that 90% of games that come out see about a 10 hour playthrough and MAYBE a second playthrough, and many of these games are deemed successes. Diablo 3 is not an mmo, it's an online action rpg with the option to play alone, or with others. 100 hours is WAY more time than 90% of other 60 dollar games are going to give you. Stop being jaded and enjoy your 100 hours.
Ultra nerds with no responsibilities run games into the ground by "no-lifing" them then go and complain on forums that the game didn't suck enough time out of their lives. This is a more than a little pitiful.
My tiny bit of advice is a well known phrase that says: "Everything in moderation." I guarantee that if you play Diablo 3 -from time to time- with people that you like, for less than 12 hours at a time, you will find that it is great fun, just like many other games that you run into the ground then deem boring. So jaded.
TLDR; Stop expecting non-mmo's to eat up the time of your probably sad life. Enjoy games in moderation, like you should everything in life. Stop being jaded. It's a sad day when 100 hours for 60 bux is considered a bad game LOL.
