For me, the problem was that I didn't want to invest the time necessary to understand the system so I always ended up online looking for the most powerful build (Blizzard noticed this hence why they streamlined it).
I recently picked up Fallout 4, again, and started doing the same thing even though I know that for that game it's not really necessary as the enemies are relatively easy to kill after a few hours of play.
I can't help it, however, every time I see individual attribute that can be modified I need to look up online to see what's the most powerful build one can make. This is especially a problem in games that doesn't give you the option to respect. It really sucks to play for a few hours only to be stuck somewhere because your character doesn't have the right specs.
In my younger days, when I played Diablo 2, I spent a crazy amount of time experimenting with various builds and actually enjoyed that process but being older I don't feel like I have the energy necessary to get as invested in a game anymore. When Diablo 2 was out, it was also one of the few games that I actually like to play and now there are many more options available. When I pick up a game now, I want it to be engaging without needing to spend a crazy amount of time learning its intricate systems.
