The poll is missing a group which is why so many chose 'have not played'. There is no option for those you've played but have not achieved paragon lvl 1; so all those not playing max level characters for whatever reason or those who've played lvl 60 characters but not enough to level up.
I fall in that group. I played my 60 monk for a bit but didn't hit paragon level 1, then I went back to leveling my Wizard. Haven't had time to play a whole lot but will be playing off and on now that 1.0.4 has made things more interesting. To this poll though it looks like I'm one of those unhappy with it, bored and not wanting to touch diablo.
You may have been able to play through the entirety of Diablo 1 & 2 with just what you found HOWEVER you typically had to run multiple times to get drops and to level up some. It was not a simple run through the game start to finish with no overlap and not have any trouble. Especially for hell mode. This is the exact same as it is in Diablo 3, and you don't have to do many runs to be well enough geared out.
I'm also convinced that a lot of people are remembering Diablo 1 & 2 from the time when they'd been playing for years and had mules with piles of equipment to make it easy for any new character and where they basically had a solid understanding of all aspects from hundred+ hours of play.
