Watching a video and playing it aren't remotely the same. I'll hit your points one by one.

Story/Lore. In PoE, Each of the monsters is summed up with a couple of paragraphs on the website. The areas are the same. Inside the game, the quests are laughably bad, and extremely vague. Diablo 3 has literally entire books of lore behind it. The Book of Cain that just came out is chock full of lore from cover to cover, for everything from the world itself to the monsters, to the heroes. I saw more story in the bit of Diablo 3 beta (where they are intentionally hiding the story to save it for the full game) than I saw in the entire PoE beta.

Skills. Animations are better, and Diablo 3 has more skills... and the kicker is, the Diablo 3 skills are UNIQUE. Each class (5 classes) has 20+ skills. Each skill can be affected by 5 different runes, which change how the skills function. And that doesn't even include the passive skills. PoE has less skills, they're generic, and the gigantic passive skill tree doesn't really add anything.. it's stuffed full of a bunch of tiny little "+2% to attack speed" type stuff that is barely noticeable.

Crafting in Diablo 3 simply rocks. Your attack on that makes clear you don't know what you're really talking about. By far the best gear i've got in the beta has come via crafting, not drops. And Blizzard has said the same will hold true in the full game.. it's possible to get better crafted items than even the best dropped items. It's all random, since the crafted items have lists of random modifiers.

Randomly generated zones? The beta's not a good indication as it's only a few areas and Blizz has stated outright that it's simplified for beta purposes. The full game will have randomly generated dungeons, and the outdoors areas are full of randomly generated events. I'm not sure why you think PoE's outdoor map changing (slightly. they're almost always a similar layout) makes a big difference here.

The RMAH is a moot point. If you don't like it, don't use it. It was put in because the community was buying items with cash anyway, but in a far more dangerous way. Blizzard is simply being the go-between for those who would have done it anyway.

Multiplayer? It's a different style game, for one..but I can't count the number of times i've actually been in a group of more than a couple of people in PoE on even one hand. You're not doing raids where you need 10 people to kill a boss.. i'm not sure why a 4 person limit is all that detrimental.

But i'm done, either way. Not like i'm going to convince anyone on a PoE forum that PoE isn't the second coming, and that there are better games out there. You're here because you're a huge PoE fan. That's cool.
