What they fixed along the years was the endgame gameplay, but even day one, it was a really polished game, and the first 10 hours or so were solid.

It broke down after that. The auction house that broke the looting dynamic, the lack of items with interesting effects, the limited amount of procedural generation, the focus on a single number (DPS), plus the usual balancing issues.

If you took the game just for the main campaign and stopped after that, you would have a great time. But most people don't play hack and slash like that, especially not the most vocal players.

The first 10 hours where 10 solid hours of “Error 37” and “Error 3006” trying to log in to battle.net, and it lasted for weeks after release…
