I'm not really sure mods were that big of a deal in terms of enhancing the longevity of the previous games – not enough so for Blizzard to actively take notice, at least. But I might be wrong.
Obviously they'd need to implement the D3 equivalent of D2's SP mode, which just as obviously isn't going to happen.
Which is a shame, certainly. I didn't even care for just about any of the gameplay-modifying D2 mods, but being able to adjust monster stats and roll up items on the fly made it much easier to figure out the game's underlying mechanics. We'll probably never be able to achieve the same degree of insight we had into the way D1 or even D2 worked because of this.
