Feeling like a broken record here, but how in the world did anyone here come to believe that D2 was complete when it was released? And for a bigger crime, take a look at the release version of D2: LoD. Those two games were pieces of crap when they were released and both needed huge patches to make them even remotely balanced or playable. (And D2's end version of "balanced" was hardly anything close to it. I mean, when mobs in an 8-player hell game have no chance against a solo player, that ain't balanced).
By contrast, despite clear missing items in the game, WoW is by far more functional, bug-free, packed with stuff to do, and far and away better balanced than those two crappy games ever were. And this is coming from someone who wasted 3 years of his life playing those two crappy games.
