Thats actually the best idea i've heard yet. Blizzard can post a warning about three weeks in advance to tell everyone that if you possess bugged items, iths, whites, etc.. your account will be deleated and your cd-key banned. They then would have to close the realms for a massive scan. This would effectivly and completly eraticate all of the illegal items except for dupes. Instead of banning accounts and cd-keys for the poor saps that are unaware they are possessing a dupe, instead simply deleate all dupes. Whola, problem solved. After this point, every once in awhile Blizzard should do a non-announced scan for bugged, dupes, iths and then ban account and cd-keys for people who possess these items.
Thats a fantastic idea! Lets just cross our fingers...
I also never knew the Star Wars merchandising idea. Yes, I think that would also work for Diablo 2, however I was unaware you could get another cd-key for 10 dollars from blizzard. I still feel its unfair for the person who buys a copy of diablo 2 off ebay for a "cheap" price, then finds out he needs a new cd-key is pretty unfair because he'll most likely end up spending more money than just going to the store and buying the game.
