Why does Diablo 3 bore the crap out of me?

I can confirm that playing the console version on expert is somehow even more boring than the PC version on normal.

I just played through the entirety of Act 2 and 3 on Expert on the PS4. I never once used a single health potion, nor did anything but stand in place and spam my Crusader abilities. Even with bosses. It is impossible to die. The only time the game was fun and slightly challenging was the very beginning of the game up to about the halfway point in Act 1.

How the hell did they screw the balance up so bad? And why the hell can’t I raise the difficulty past expert until I’ve completed the whole game?
