Ya know, ive been a gamer for some time now.  (Since the dino days of
the 8088 proccessor).  Anyway, i've played all sorts of games; its a 
hobbie and a addiction.  In all that i've played, i have NEVER seen a 
game as corrupted as Diablo.  Every other game ive seen, "hacking" never
really worked because unless everyone had the same data file, the game
would go out of sync.  Not so with diablo.  Diablo was truly destined
to be a hallmark in online gaming.  And it WAS, (keyword here is was.)

But because its program design is so open ended, It was only a matter of
time before the scum of society found a way to promote itself.
Most of the gamers online now, did not grow up with the same sense of
ethics that most of the old time gamers did. So battle.net and diablo
have spun wildly out of control.  The game is not as it was meant to be
anymore.  On battle.net, the game has or will become a place of anxiety,
suspicion, paranoia, and a hacking contest to see who can make the most
godly of characters.  Why create a character with 1200 hit points or
more?  doing so is the same as deathmatching in Quake or Duke in
god mode while everyone else is not.  Why play? You know your going to
win!  But because the gameplay has been completely altered by people
who call themselves "hackers", the balance of the game has been 
completly altered, and is severly lopsided now. 
 On a side note, 
to these so called hackers.  Anyone can hex edit. I was hex editing 
as a 8 year old.  Just because you can diddle some data does not make
you a hacker.  In fact, data diddling is a classification all its own, 
and should not be confused with hacking. A true hacker is one who breaks
into computers, not game files. Am i a hacker? No.  Was I ever
a Data Diddler? Yes i was, back in dos 2.0. Im disgusted with these 
cheaters who say "im not a cheater, Im a hacker".  Bullshit, your a 
data diddler!  The end result is still the same, a character running 
around who cannot be killed. 
I would also like to add, that i have a level
 39 warrior, and i did not cheat, hex edit, or use any program to
get there.  I earned my levels, and experience points.  Now that is 
more of an accomplishment and something to be proud of on b.net than
a cheat character that took 2 mins to create.  And thanks to every 
pk, tk cheats on b.net, i can hardly play with anyone nowdays because
everyone things i might be a pk or tk when im quite the opposite.
Diablo was great, now it's a tradgety.  Its such a shame. To blizzard
i'd like to say "Yea you had a great idea for a game, and it worked at 
first, but in the end, your idea went down in flames."
