I understand the mechanics are different and there are issues to fix but in the end underneath it all it is the same end game. Grinding to find items.

D2 was exactly the same. Grinding the same game over and over and over yet people played it for years and years.
Two big reasons I've given up on Diablo 3 given I played D2 for far too long in the past:

1) item drops. I have equipped on my main barbarian exactly one item I looted myself. There is no sense of reward farming gold just to buy items you need off the AH. And if you buy off the real money AH... you lose any and all purpose for playing the game at all.

2) characters cap out at 60 and you can re-spec any time you want without cost. This means you get almost nothing out of replaying the game - there are achievements for finishing the game with 2 of the same class.. WHY WOULD YOU EVER DO THAT?

Diablo 3 is a great game - but it fails spectacularly at remaining compelling after the 80 hour playtime mark.
