Okay, so far I'm really not liking 1.10.
Firstly they made it nigh impossible to level at all in Hell. Not only did they nerf the total exp gained, but they also made the monsters near impossible to kill. My lvl 77 Bowazon with the complete M'Vania's set and high dex and skills kicked a lot of ass before in 1.09, even with the players set to 8, but now she can barely put a scratch in anything with players set to 1. It takes me almost half a quiver or arrows just to kill one god damn minion. Same deal with all my other high level characters. Basically, when you reach Hell difficulty, the game ceases to be fun at all, and just turns into a tedious excersize. What good is uber equipment if it has all the effectiveness of an old junky Yugo?
Secondly, most of the cool stuff, such as being able to transmute to higher level runes, was made ladder only, screwing people who play single player or TCP/IP. Once again, Blizzard shows that they only care about players who play on BNET.
Thirdly, their item deletion code to get rid of dupes and hacked items is totally fucked. Oddly enough, nearly all my hacked items (they're all with legit modifiers though, none of that 1,000,000% added damage shit) are still there, yet most of my legit items bit the dust.
Fourthy, the new runewords don't appear to work on magical items. I just wasted some good runes because of it. Thank god for character backups.
Sorry if I come off as a whiny newbie, but I'm a little cheesed at the moment.

Can you still do the other ladder only stuff like transmute the higher level runes? I haven't really tried yet because I don't have 3 of a particularly high rune.
