I agree with you, finding your own loot is much more fun. The problem is, the drops in this game are piss poor (at least until you reach level 60 and get to inferno supposedly) in relation to the difficulty and time spent finding them. It is very imbalanced.

AH is a necessity because the loot is not good? Did you ever play Diablo II solo? Diablo II solo loot was as bad, if not worse... that's why people played in 8 player games.
Maybe so, but the difficulty curve on D2 (and D1 for that matter) is far less steep than on D3. Champions/Rares require expending ALOT of time, energy and in many cases downright frustration to get less-then stellar items. I did plenty of "Laz runs" on Diablo 1 to find my best items, along with clearing 16. Although the drops were rare as hell, you could do them on normal difficulty, so you only spent alot of time searching at worst, and if you were persistent enough you could do 100+ runs in a day. But the energy and frustration factor wasnt there since difficulty didnt matter. Also, I am pretty sure the drop rate or probability of finding the best items on D1 is higher than that of D3. In normal or nightmare, finding or even cratfing upgrades isnt too hard, but come hell difficulty, you WILL be using the AH - guaranteed.
