Okay, now if this individual's purpose is merely to have fun in SINGLE PLAYER, or play
multiplayer games with OTHER HACKED CHARACTERS ONLY...I guess I can understand this
person's dilema. However, the needs of many outnumbered the needs of the few.
DiabloTrainer took advantage of a security breach abused by a lot of people...a breach
which should NOT have been there to begin with. Granted, hacking is hacking and
everyone should probably be allowed to hack ONLY the software they purchased and use it
for PRIVATE (ie: playing by themselves, no selling, no copying, no bugging other people,
etc.) purposes only. But when they start bothering other people, this becomes a
different issue. This issue became big enough that the patch was DEMANDED by the
majority of the people who just want to play, not hack. After all, they DID have a
right to play and not get killed repeatedly by some Lev 50 player who couldn't possibly
die...
Don't blame the people who made the patch...blame the people who made the patch
necessary for an honest multi-player game.
