The other ones are valid complaints but what is wrong with havng an auction house.

Because Blizzard threw a shit-fit over people "buying" top-level World of Warcraft accounts and equipment ("goldfarming"). Now everybody can just buy the dreaded Sword of Nagerroth off of goldfarmers completely legally.
With WoW Blizzard hypocritically threw a fit (because they weren't making any money off of it.) Also as far as gameplay goes it makes it so you can just buy your way to the top.

Personally I'm not into MMOs so maybe it works different from what I'm saying.

EDIT: BTW as somebody pretty late to the Diablo series (I played Diablo "for real" about two years ago, despite having played maybe five minutes in the past on other people's computers) I have to say that Diablo II basically ruined everything I enjoyed in Diablo.

What Blizzard should be focusing on is Blackthorne 2 and The Lost Vikings III.
