I'd have to say the issue of support is a big one for me.
*Warning! Zar is about to utter some blasphemy! Not for the faint of heart!*
The support of D2 left a bad taste in my mouth.
Perhaps I had just misinterpreted during developement, and the full round of betas, but I was under the impression that there would be a lot more added over time in the way of crafting and runewords. What I saw in my years of playing the game was an actual DECREASE in such (anyone remember class-specific crafts?)*
Now, later on they did remedy this problem to a certain extent, adding new runewords (realmside) and basically overhauling the entire game to add the synergy aspect. But there was an overwhelming feeling of "too little, too late."
Don't get me wrong. Anyone who's known me on the Lounge knows I loved Diablo & D2, and I had literally years of enjoyment playing them. But I felt there was more service promised than received. That said, I am still hopeful for WoW since it is a p2p game. Time will tell if that hope was well founded.
*Note: Anyone around here remember my Personalized, Crafted, +2 Druid Skills ring? :D
