Character Development: There are two stages of character development. First is leveling upto level 70. Each level you gain stat increases and a talent point. Talent points let you specialize in certain areas of your class. Once you reach the max level, character development is achieved by loot progression.
Game driver: The game is basically a grind fest. There is no overarching story or story progression. At end-game the game driver is loot progression/dungeon progression.
Equipment system: Besides typical equipment slots, one can also attach enchancements (eg. Enchants) to equipment. Additionally, there is Gem socket system. Matching gem colours to socket colors grants additional equipment bonuses.
