Truth is farming was much more tolerable in D2. Farming meph, pindle , pits were much easier. It wasnt complicated and we didnt put lots of effort into killing stuff. Therefore whenever we got crappy loot we didnt care. Because we could do it again without hassle. And it was fun to stomp everything easily.
Agreed
The real problem, in my honest opinion, about why D3 is like this today, and why it wont change their core mechanic anytime soon, is becuase of the RMAH. They need it working 24x7 to make a profit out of it, the entire economy of the game is linked to the RMAH concept. Even if they know exactly what to do to make the game 10x better, its most likely it wont happen, because it goes against their main objetive, wich is to make a profit.
I hope Im wrong, and the gameplay and the economy model can go in parallel roads, but Im afraid is not possible.
I honestly don't understand why so many people are hung up on the RMAH. The RMAH literally has NOTHING to do with this. If loot drop were higher (or the loot was higher quality) for example, there would be more items on the RMAH --> more transactions --> more $$ for blizzard.
@Warguyver is not how it works, if you dont have any real necesity to use the AH or RMAH, you just dont use it. In this case, if you dont use the AH or RMAH at all, you are gonna have a bad time going from act 1 inferno to act 2 or 3 inferno just using the drops the game give you. The AH is an implicit mechanism of the game, and that will not change.

I've stated this before, but this is how Diablo has always worked. You cannot find all the loot you want by yourself (in reasonable amounts of time), the drop rates will always be too low. It was like this in Diablo 1, 2, and now 3. You have to trade if you want to be able to beat the game comfortably.
