Quote:The only false positives that I suspect are dupes added by DiabloGuard, as foolish as that may sound. This is actually from an experience I had today with a legitimate claiming that Triv. is a cheater himself, and manipulates the dupelist with an itemtheft program, and adds all other items used by legits encountered to the list. Judging from the dupelist which can be viewed on DiabloGuard, this wasn't very farfetched of an idea. There were items no cheater would ever be intelligent enough to wield, such as a Garnet shield of Brilliance or Obsidian Armor of Harmony (This one especially. How many LAW cheaters have you seen, ever?).
I know enough players on the DLP list to know that is an absolutely absurd accusation. A lot of people I know would not take kindly to reading what you have written, so in future I think you should bite your tounge until you've got your facts right.
Having said that, I now expect a Private Message from you, with the name of the accuser, who after a week, I'm sure to have enough evidence against to bury once and for all.
And just to counter your foolish logic... Some cheaters aren't the typical GPOW brain dead morons... some actually want to be be passed off as legit. They think people will look up to them or something I guess, or maybe they just like messing with people, but basically they just don't have the patience to find the items themselves, so they steal, using trainers or whatever. Together with that, certain communities in the past, have been involved in item sharing, where nobody wants to cheat but they feel that if an item is found that is actually meant to exist in the game (Obs/Zod etc.) then it should be shared amongst the community. I know that some of the home country channels on Europe had players who thought along those lines and people here seem to have long been of the thought that some of the old x'ers were doing it as well. That is why Diabloguard exists, it's got nothing to do with spotting GPOW's or hacked attributes, or halfwits... spend a minute, usually less, in a game and you can figure that out for yourself. It was an attempt to saveguard against involving yourself with those kinds of 'legit' players.
