Actually, what type of long term endgame were people expecting? You kill monsters, loot drops and then what?

yes yes but i still don't see what all this has to do with end game? Really, i think a lot of people bought into the hype machine and had unrealistic expectations of D3.

Seriously, what is the expectation at end game? I've already spent more than a 100 hours (most of it enjoying the game) and hence have already gotten my money's worth. Do you really expect your 60USD to last you forever? Finish with D3, play something else. I really want to get back to collecting costumes on lollipop chainsaw which i have been neglecting. I mean that's me, but what do all the complainers expect from end game?

Also, fans should not be game designers. American Idol is an example of what happens when you let the fans choose.
