I always have to laugh at the 'no customization' thing. What, having access to all the skills and their runes doesn't allow customization? To me, that's MORE customization, because I'm not locked into one skill build from 1-60. Even more boring was keeping most of the stat points till 30 and then allocating them. Most fun of all was getting a toon to Hell trying something different, figuring out it wasn't really viable, and having to reroll the character completely. How the hell was that 'more customization'?
As far as stat point distribution, I guess you really liked the "enough str/dex to wear the gear, don't touch energy, and put the rest into vit" model? That gave so many choices...oh wait, it didn't, and I didn't care for it. That was boring as hell. You do stat allocation with gear now, and I much prefer that model.
Sounds to me like you wanted D2 in a new wrapper, but, if you want that, go play PoE, or D2 still works.
Oh, and it's so relevant to say the game is 'too easy' just from doing normal once.
Of course, it's pretty easy for a veteran. Like SC2, there's four difficulty levels, and D3 Normal = SC2 Casual.
