Diablo is the king, or at least a well-placed prince, of monotonous gameplay.

True, this seems to be Blizzard's thing. I also hated WoW for this reason, I played along with friends but it took me 3 years to teach level 60

WoW is much worse than Diablo on that front...

Is it though? Diablo 100% grind after the story (which can be completed in a few sittings).

Yes, but the combat is the core gameplay loop, and it's fun - unlike in WoW having to suffer through one after another fetch quest and the "real game" only starting after you hit max level...

haha I stopped playing when I hit max level.

I'm not a team player when it comes to games and the whole raid thing just didn't work for me as such.

I guess I was using it wrong. To me it was just a fancy chatbox with some busywork though I did like some of the druid questlines.

Heh, I couldn't even manage to get past lvl 20 or so...

("It's not because it's called «RPG» that it's similar to Baldur's Gate" learning moment...)
