"But once you hit endgame - I maxed out the entire season battle pass in a week - everything becomes a seemingly interminable period of digestive limbo."

I have been playing a shit load of Diablo and I still haven't completed the last season pass chapter. If this person completed the whole thing in a single week, it's not surprising that they're feeling burnt out. Maybe learn a little self moderation before blaming the game?

I think you are missing the point, what I take from the article is the boring grinding that is too generic, you can take 3 months to do the same thing instead of 1 week, but you'll have the same experience, that quests are generic, ok so I go to this dungeon, will be one of those where I need to collect a couple of 'objects' in each long path? Probably, the boss is just a generic one that do something that proba ly you've already seen a couple of times and it just takes time to kill it, nothing else. I'm level 53 at the moment and I can see that going to 100 is just a chore, and not really a fun one.
