Just do the 9 missions or whatever if your doing seasonal. It gives you a set that will let any class do like torment 5+ minimum. Or whatever.

Can't trade items (at least on PC, not sure if you can even cross-platform) unless the dropped before the removal of the auction house, back when the level cap was 60 and max item level was 63.
I have an old Dawn, Calamity, and the ring set somewhere.

Hell no.
D2+expansion was alright, but the fixed skill trees make it way more tedious. You can;t rebuild a character, you need to restart from scratch.

It takes like a day to push a character through the story and through hell mode to power level lol.

It takes about 30 seconds to change your D3 build to fit the gear that just dropped.

And this guy does not have an attention span for anything that looks more complicated than checkers? D3 is infinitely less tedious than changing anything in D2. Fucking nearly start from scratch in D2 to do any new build even for the same character class

I mean, there's an argument to be made that that's the entire point of a gear grinder -- tedious mass murder for optimal exp and phat lootz.
That was not the argument presented.

In D2, each difficulty unlocks an option to do a full spec reset when you beat the very first quest, so you can reset your character up to 3 times, before you even consider a Token of Absolution, which you can farm from act-end bosses. That should be fine unless you totally jank your build 3+times and have terrible gear.
I think if I need to better articulate: D3 just hands everything to you; it's definitely a "modern" game with "modern sensibilities" (i.e. no attention span/investment) in mind. I can see the appeal as a casual sitting down to play a modern version of Gauntlet with buddies, but this casual gameplay is at odds with the customization side to the point that it almost chooses your gear for you, lest you bore the other people playing when you stop and customize. Compared to D2 it feels hollow to work toward a build if you can go and change that 30 seconds later. And you say I have no attention span?
It's not like I didn't try to like it either: I played through the whole campaign with my brother right up to the final D3 expansion boss that just spams bullet-hell and area-of-effect crap that plays like utter shit. It's always bad when you coast through the rest of the game, only to be brickwalled by some goofy shit like that. Plus I have to say that being able to switch difficulty on the fly is something else that saps the sense of accomplishment that you got in D2 when you were finally being able to kill Baal in Nightmare, only to have to brace yourself for Hell. The actual difference in difficulties in D3 is almost nil, and was just a way for me to push through the boredom. True we didn't beat the last boss, but it deleted our character profiles in the PS3 version (WTF??) so we just never bothered picking it up again.
The truth is that mordern Blizzard is a shit company, and they fired all their actual talent (Blizzard North) and got their Warcraft mooks to make a floaty, flashy-neon mess that's trying and failing to be a Diablo game. They want to remake Diablo 2 because D3 couldn't live up to the hype, I'm skeptical if they understand/care what made the first 2 good.

I remember playing D2, and I remember having planned out a build for my necro, before the bone spear/golem meta took over.
I gave it up at that point, because my poison build couldn't keep up enough to get respecs and I didn't want to spend all that time relevelling to Trang-Ouls.
I see this argument a lot with "game purists". The idea that all that hard work is part of the game. It's a valid criticism, of sorts. Thing is, very few players want to put in that kind of time and energy into a single game. Those players are largely teenagers that have nothing else to do. Yeah, I have fond memories of figuring out how to use the poison build in Act 3. I have fond(ish) memories of trying to get my druid through the Duriel fight. Eventualkly, I gave up and opened a "help me" MP game, some dude joined and killed Duriel for me in 30 seconds, and I went on to beat the rest of the game. Pretty sure I only ever killed Duriel once personally with my bone spear/golem/maiden necro that I never finished building.
And then I had better shit to do, so I dropped D2. I never went back, because I didn;t want to start over.
Actually, right now I play more D3 than I play POE, even though POE is a much more reliably updated game and is much more fleshed out, with new expansions coming out rapidly. It's just easier to drop into a D3 game with some friends, grab the first legendary drop, and respec my character to work with that drop. Then we grind up until we get bored, usually around T5ish, without having to start over. On the other hand, neither me nor my friends have played POE since Delve came out. I got a ranger up into the 60s during Delve, but I don't want to start over. Too much of a chore. Too much of a grind. Hell, I even have a few exalted orbs that I've never used for trade or upgrades. POE currency system is pretty awesome, yes, but it also encourages hoarding. It's like how you finish FFVII without using a single potion because "what if I need it later?", and then the final boss is dead and you have a bunch of mega elixirs and a bunch of reloads.
D3 more than lived up to its hype. That's why they're making D4. Because D3 was a commercially viable game that scratched the itch for most people, even though being able to respec on the fly may have annoyed the very few purists.
This is something that runescape (or at least OSRS) teaches pretty well. You can spend ten hours grinding crafting with tiaras using silver ore for a profit, or you can spend an hour thieving/merching and buy the crafting grind with d'hide. D2 is the equivalent of the ten hour grind, while D3 is the equivalent of the hour and a half grind-n-buy.

It really does move faster than d2.
I really like that you hit max level pretty quick. One thing that sort of annoyed me about d2 was when you'd get a clearly superior item just in terms of stats and item level, but it doesn't fit your build/current gear at all. Of course you use it, because clearly superior stats, but there's no synergy. D3 occasionally gives you superior items, but since you're at max item level pretty quick, it's more about the synergy between items and skills.
