Blizzard gain a flash of insight?

The game literally really doesn't begin until you hit level 60. At first, I didn't like this system at all, though I have sort of become used to it. However, the gear check that is Inferno is too extreme. If they want to make a fourth difficulty where you basically start over and search for gear to proceed through each act, just as you did for the first 3 difficulties, fine. But they need to take out the mechanics that discourage progression (enrage timers, repair costs), and lose the mentality that players should be underpowered at all times in Inferno. With 750+ AR, 44k Health, and 41K DPS, I should not be being 2-shotted in Act 3 by certain white trash mobs (Demon Hell Flyers), and the majority of elite packs simply are not even worth my time or effort. I finally completed the catapults quest, but at exorbitant repair costs, to the point I had to go back to Act 1 to farm gold for repairs. That is just sloppy and poor design by Blizzard, not to mention its not fun at all. I realize they may have nerfed inferno, but the mechanics still make it tedious and not fun to play at all, at least in the later acts (and even Act 2 still to some extent). It is kind of bad enough that Inferno is based purely on items, and has almost 0 to do with player skill.
