I agree with y'all, I am known for cheating at games, but that is only
on my system and my system alone.  I've worked at a character with a
little help from higher level characters on battle.net, but I'm afraid
of encountering a pkiller or and extreme cheater.  Blizzard should let
the session creator impose limits on that particular game.
