A lot of people have stated exactly what you have. While Blizzard was right that grinding levels is not fun, people do appreciate knowing that everything they do adds to progression. OK, Skills/Runes cap at 60: that is something that cannot be helped under the current system. Not an issue. Some kind of post-60 rewards would be nice, however. What exactly, I cannot say.
Quests are another common complaint. Blizzard have taken many steps forward in terms of narrative, but taken away from the hack and slash flow of the previous gamers. In addition, as you noted, the quests lack rewards that motivate the player. It is 100% narrative-driven. For a conventional RPG, this is ideal; for a hack-and-slash... it could be a little more visceral and cha-ching.
