Gear Progression feels really really Bad and stifling

I've just finished the first 3 Acts and now began Cruel difficulty. My character (Ranger) is now level 49, and my bow is still lvl 33, quiver is level 10, Helm lvl 19, Chest lvl 19, Gloves lvl 20, Belt lvl 14, Boots lvl 24, Rings lvl 9 and 12, and Amulet 9. Basically for most of my gear, from the middle of Act 2 and throughout Act 3 I did not find any meaningful upgrades in gear. I also find it funny that some of the Max life rolls on lvl 10 gear has higher stats than what I find on lvl 30+ gear. I know there's a difference between prefixes and suffix rolls but this just feels really bad.

And must it drop every class' gear? Like I'm just looking for a Bow, but I will get Rare wands, crossbows sceptres etc and everything but Bows. Exalted orbs is the biggest choke point. One reason why I can't upgrade my bow to any new lvl 40+ bow is without maxing out the sub-stats on the new bow, it cannot compete with my existing bow.

This is just my feedback.
