In my opinion, at the moment most people I encounter (99%) prefer
co-operative play.  You wont go up against a hacked or cheat player, but
you may play with one going through the dungeon levels.  As a rule I do
not accept anything from anyone except gold and only when I ask for it.
I have only encountered one player killer since playing Diablo.  You can
seek out duels, but they are at your request and then you are right you
would have no idea of how legitimate the character you are going up
against is.

  net, or am I going to be up against  a player who has equipped
  himself/herself with all sorts of impossible attributes?  Surely the

  game could have been made tamperproof (Quake managed it by having
  the

  that
  authenticates the code that's running).
