Why would anyone want less chances of good items? As you progress your character the less opportunity arises for upgrades and then you need to start utilising all the other systems for improving items like the cube and they are a massive drain on mats. Even if you can farm 10000 legendaries an hour you will more than likely be creating 10000 forgotten souls and hour and that on its own is useless because you need other mats to start making better items or improve your chances of finding the next upgrade so its irrelevant.
The only difference now is more players get to enjoy that process and test their skills with a new build/class etc; and the extreme player base have less to brag about because others have a chance to find what they have now. I personally love how things have evolved and can now pick a class, build and enjoy until I have had enough. I don't have to farm hundreds of hours with yellows until I finally make a set and by then I'm completely bored and give up and feel like I'm getting nowhere.
I believe the answer to your first question is longevity of the game in terms of finding the gear! Speaking for me personally, I have the gear, I have the perfect gear, and I have it for some time in the season! And I'm sure it's the case for many others. The only thing that will push me higher is grinding paragon, which has nothing to do with "finding"!
It's like the game has 2 parts. 1st part is find the gear, and 2nd part grind the paragon. The 1st part is being completed far far sooner than the 2nd.
Yeah, but there is a not so thin line between playing and playing and playing and not finding an item you want, and finding 300-400 legendaries a day! I'm sure some people find way more!
Just, make legendaries legendary again! It's all I'm saying!

Personally I'm not quite sure how to derive satisfaction from doing the same thing over and over for prolonged period of time just to get 1 specific gear. I almost drop D3 in its vanilla stage and start playing more in RoS (and I know some people may bash me for this but I never really enjoy D2 apart from playing the story line).
May be Bliz has finally realized that there are quite a lot of people like me and decide to expand their target audience a bit. Although right now the issue is there is not much variation in terms of challenge in the game. So I will end up feeling bored sooner or later. But at least not as fast as what happened to me in D2 and D3 vanilla.
Also, without Haedrig's gift I will never play Seasonal. Why should I? All my best builds are in non-season and you are asking me to farm for every single thing again? Within 2-3 months period? My apology, I have other things to do in life and that apparently make me a "filthy casuals" in many people's eyes
Feels bad man...
Well, I believe that is the whole point of this thread! The fact that you CAN find everything again in a 2-3 month period of time! So the question comes up: Do you believe the legendaries are dropping too often?
it still takes a lot of time to get the good gear. the good gear is not the legendary, it's not the ancient legendary, it's the ancient legendary with perfect random stats, high rolls, upgraded with a high lvl gem. It takes hundreds of hours to get your good gear for one char. Most players just get their ancient (or not even that) and think they are done. And that's totally fine, not everyone wants to dedicate his life to a game. It's totally fine to get the basic stuff, play a build and then be done with it. But it's weird to me when players complain that it's too easy to get the good stuff, when they never got the good stuff to begin with...
Well, not necessarily complain. Just making conversation. I'd just like it if the rarity of the gear owns up to its name! Legendaries are not really "legendary"! With so many legendary items, wooo it seems there's a lot of legends out there! Legends everywhere
I believe that the quality of the gear is not being used properly! I mean, what is the purpose of grey, white or blue gear in the game? Have you ever used it (other than your first 5-10 minutes of making a character?) ? The ancient legendaries are a new quality of gear if you think about it. Right above legendaries. Give them a pink color or something and call them Eternals or something like that! It's the same thing! But they too come too often! Like 10% of the time a legendary drops it will be an ancient!
For me personally, I would prefer if it took a bit more time to find "the good gear"!
