I don't hate Diablo. I hate the equipment grind that they decided was necessary to force you into.
I love Diablo. I've always loved Diablo. I played the hell out of the first game more times than I can count, including it's Hellfire Expansion. I did the same for Diablo 2 as well. Neither game required equipment farming in the magnitude Diablo 3 does. Not even close. Anyone who says it does is a liar.
I like the genre as a whole as well. I've played the hell out of Torchlight, Divine Divinity, and plenty of other similar games. It pains me to see how badly they screwed over Diablo 3. I feel like both WoW's insane popularity with it's own equipment farming coupled with the RMAH has plagued Diablo 3 into something far worse than it should have been (Feel free to flame me all you want for that statement, I don't care).
At the core the game is fine. I enjoyed every moment up until Inferno. It was fun. Inferno is not. It's not because I hate difficulty, quite the opposite. I enjoyed the difficulty on Hell. It was quite possible to beat but had plenty of hard, "I'm probably going to die here, run run run!" moments. Inferno turns the game into a grindfest instead of an enjoyable, hard experience. If Inferno didn't exist I wouldn't have anything bad to say about the game (Except my general distaste for the RMAH, but who can blame me there?).
