This. Basically the new demographic that WoW created, which consists mostly of casuals, understandably think it's ***. You're not about to convince anyone that's never really played anything besides WoW before that an isometric clickfest is something they should be interested in. The problem is that demographic is several million strong, so it sounds a lot louder than it should be.
As of 1.05, I feel pretty damn comfortable saying that D3 is a great game. It didn't start out that way at all, and I even gave up on it for several months which is where more of the negative word of mouth came from. But the game, as it stands now, is nearly everything you'd expect from the series minus PvP.
Finally, it's Diablo, not WoW or even an MMO for that matter. There are going to be people who don't like the style of gameplay and nothing they do or could have done will prevent that.
