What do you propose they DO do? I don't care for the rift runs, so I just start getting the equipment for a new build, maybe even start a new character because I still haven't played them all. I do realize that some people have already played every character to their max level, gotten every single set with amazing stats, have all the unique items cubed, and those people, yes, they can JUST do rift runs and "that's it". But is that really a problem? For anyone playing in a semi-sane way, there's always something else to do. Hell, if you're really bored, play Hardcore. Or, heavens forbid, a different game.

Honestly, I wish they'd implement that PVP idea they had. I guess it wouldn't really mesh well with all the various abilities and items they've thrown at players for years now, but still, its the one promise I wish they hadn't broken. :(

Pretty sure the biggest game changer was the Reaper of Souls expansion that introduced Adventure mode to the game. Before that it had just been under the skin changes to the system I believe like increasing drop rates and so on.
This aside from removing the auction house obviously.
It shouldn't be too hard looking through the game's patch history to see how the game changed early on.

Reaper of Souls added 10 levels to player progression, a new act, a new class, adventure mode, cheevos, etc etc. The Auction House was removed before that ever showed up, iirc, but the real game changer was when Blizzard patched out their incredibly lovely drop system, because ALL drops were affected the same way when generating stats on identification, so you could end up with, say, a set item for a Barbarian but that had amazing stats for... a wizard. Like, the main stat would be intelligence, so it was worthless. Legendaries didn't feel very good and they were used mainly because set items sucked anyways, but they also had very little going for them.

Also, adding the enchantress who can, for a price, let you reroll a stat on an item was a huge game changer.
