Well, there is still a chance you'll find stuff that is good outside the AH, but again, what are you really doing? You are getting better gear when you farm. Gear you can buy in the AH. The fact that the AH exist just works against the main part of the game. "BUY BETTER GEAR SO YOU CAN KILL STUFF FOR BETTER GEAR!" Does anybody see the irony in that?
No.
In D2 you got gear, and traded it for what was useful.
In D3 you get gear, and sell it for gold OR salvage it for materials, then use those materials to buy/make better gear.
Again, what's the difference?
I dunno who you traded with in D2, but the only time anyone would ever give me anything good in a trade was if I forked over runes, not gear. Unless of course I was stupid and traded them gear far greater than their own, in which case they would happily hit the accept button.
I played mostly when SoJ was the default trading currency, before runes took over.
In D2, you get a drop. You either use it, keep it for later, vendor it, or if it is good (just not for you), you tried to trade it.
In D3, you get a drop. You either use it, keep it for later, vendor it, salvage it, or if it is good (just not for you), you sell it on the AH.
What's the difference exactly?
Well, obviously it has the same basic set up. The difference is that in D2, drops seemed to make more sense. In D3, I find bows with intelligence bonuses on them. I heard they were going to address the legendary issue though.
I saw spears with INT on them in D2. ALL the gear was random. Maybe it's more random in D3, but that's fine.
Legandaries are being addressed, but the problem is that people equate legendary to mean 'best' , and that's wrong.

Since I've been playing the game, I've come to notice something. I already have a level 60 wizard and I'm already in Inferno mode. I got to this point about ten days into the game and that was just from casual playing. I wasn't exactly trying to get to this point that fast, it just sort of happened. Now that I have come to notice it, It doesn't feel very rewarding. The game feels Easy, but don't get me wrong, Inferno is by no means a cakewalk; however, every other mode is and getting to level 60 surely wasn't a problem either. Here are a few problems that I have.
You Can't Control Your Stats
Stopped reading there. Want to change your stats? Find shit with sockets. Insert gems. Profit. Or go to the AH and buy gear with the stat allocations you desire.
D3 has WAY more control and customization that D2 did. D2 required you to roll a new character to make a change to ONE stat point. How is this good design?

Gearing up isn't a chore. IT'S THE ENTIRE ESSENCE OF THE DIABLO FRANCHISE.
The series is : get gear to get more powerful to go find more gear by killing stuff to get more powerful to kill harder stuff and get more gear.
If you don't like dealing with gear, I'm not sure Diablo is the game for you.
