They went from simple "multiplayer use only" items dropped in single player mode (Über keys) through the Inferno Bug (frame-based skills only doing fraction of their supposed damage) to certain vendor selling only ilvl1 items because typo in the game files it had everything, many thing being hardcoded bugs. Then we didn't even mentioned the game-balance issues...

So ye, the bugs DID bother you, unless you never tried anything creative. And even then you still suffered from things like infinite baal clones, the manaburn bug, and more (eg. the Immortal Sand Leaper Bug).

Heck, with Blizzard stating 1.13 not being the final patch, then discontinuing all support to D2, I dare say D3 is the promised patch for D2. So it should be free for all who already had D2!

What displeased DB3 was those very annoying characteristics:

• It irritated me to have to collect magic pages (I do not know the correct name) to perfect the jewels;

• It irritated me when after collecting items to create magical weaponry, the random result of weaponry made you very frustrated. I really detest random effect on Blacksmith’s production;

• It irritated me when you want to explore the areas you’ve explored, that damn fog covers the map again and you have to explore the map again and be different from the previous map!

I’ve never been interested in Multiplayer Mode. And with the use of the editor, I could edit my items and armaments.

Regarding “fix patches”, I installed a few times, because I preferred to dedicate myself to other games.

I think you’ve been in Hell in the figurative and literal sense... Besides, the Blizzard Hellp was colder than the Absolute Zero...

EDIT:

I forgot to mention that I’m more interested in the history of the game, the characters, the gameplay and the difficulty than the modern and fascinating special effects.

For example, in the DB2 game, you had to eliminate the 3 DB characters: The female Archer (1st stage); The Sorcerer (2nd stage) and the Warrior (4th stage).

I prefer more type of RPG mixed with Adventure like Drakensang series, Dragon Age series and Mass Effect series than those that require more action like Diablo series or Torchlight.
