I think you guys are suffering from a false sense of nostalgia. As you all said, you played Diablo 2 for years, as did I... but after years of Diablo 2 how long was it before you had personally found every unique/set item in the game? How long was it until your character had the absolute best gear possible? How much of that gear did you get by trading/buying it from other players? How long did you spend farming X boss/miniboss for it? Diablo 3 has been out for 2.5 weeks, are you really expecting to have the best gear possible from a game whose item treadmill is designed to last years (as Diablo 2's did)? Aside from some quirks in itemization (legendaries really should have set stats, i.e. it's fine if the amount of a certain stat is randomized, but finding a Wizard only legendary with strength on it is outright ridiculous), it really isn't any different from Diablo 2 in terms of the rate of acquisition.
