D3 will likely have 2 expansions and quite a few patches.
Items can be easily changed by Blizzard from time to time. A new grade of new tiered items, new crafts, new uniques, new sets.
The problem in D2 was that runewords and crafts were badly implemented at Expansion launch and runewords only good look at in the patches and over did some of the runewords. They would not be too bad if many of the runes were not duped.
I found that D2 classic had the best items since Rares had the best chance to be the best. A few of the uniques were good and could be used to great effect. Sets were quite weak at the time. Classic also had a better gambling options. You had a good chance at sets and uniques. I found gold find very good during classic days.
It seems to me that Blizzard is looking at Crafting more than they did in D2. We have the artisans that can create items and other things. It is a good way to spend gold and other resources for a chance to get better gear. It also works nicely for the casual player since he/she can upgrade gear that did not dropped to limit the grind of doing mf runs for gear.

Some fallout 4 mod makers have had their mods stolen and uploaded and downloaded on Bethesda's site for the Xbox One.

I do like the idea of making useless stuff into something useful. Like cubing them for crafting materials or selling for gold.
