The game does have an end point. The death of Baal in Hell completes the final quest in the final difficulty of the game. There are no further normal quests in the game that can be accomplished. Anything beyond that is merely extra at the discretion of the players themselves (MF runs, leveling to 99, helping others, etc.).
Diablo has a set end point as far as I am concerned. You don't see that. This becomes our primary point of argument. Your argument is based on there not being an actual end point which means that not everyone can achieve the same results. My argument is that there is an actual end point and everyone should have at least a reasonable chance of achieving the completion of the game (of course, higher difficulty does mean higher difficulty and some may not be able to cope with the higher difficulty). At this point the only thing that we can really do is agree to disagree as neither is likely to see the side of the other.
