Yeah, if you didn't like Diablo2, you're almost certainly not going to
like Diablo 3, even as much as it's been improved since launch.  It's
still mostly about engaging in wholesale slaughter to find better gear
so you kill more and kill it faster.  As an intellectual exercise, you
can try out different ways of killing, seeing how well you can do
using builds that aren't the most optimised but it's still all about
the killing.  ; )
