I have to totally adree with you.  The best thing I have found to do about
it is to find a small group of friends and play Diablo with those people. 
Making sure that the characters used for our gaming fun are not used on
Battle.Net where you can easily come accross some cheated items and not
even be aware of it!

I even believe that maybe you should be allowed to limit on Battle.Net the
level of the characters that are allowed to join your game.  If I want to
start a game for levels 7-12, I should be able to create that limitation on
Battle.Net.

Sound like a fair deal to you???
