Quote:Apart from this, there is no planner of comparable usefulness in existence.
Have you looked at Diablo2.de's skill calculator? I can't say whether it's better or worse than the other one (I suspect it's largely a matter of opinion), but I'd definitely say it is comparable.
Quote:Despite my utterly no tolerence view of hacks, dupes and dodgey items, as long as the site hosting it a ) keeps the thing working properly and up to date and b ) continues not selling cheat items...
"Continues not selling cheat items?" They are currently actively selling highly illegit items. For example, they're selling rare boots (which can't have legitly spawned since 1.07 or maybe earlier) and they have multiple copies in stock.
IOW, they are currently selling filthy dupes.
They also redefine "legit" as "something that won't be deleted" and "dupe" as "will get deleted." IOW, they're saying that if a dupe doesn't get caught, it's perfectly legit. For example, they say that "when Runes and Jewels are placed into a socket, they are no longer vulnerable to the dupe deletion scanâthey become legit in every way" (something the recent rune deletions have disproven, BTW).
Also, their FAQ gives tips for how to avoid dupes getting deleted.
So do be aware that the site is far from being legit. They're not even trying.
Unless maybe by "cheat items" you don't include duped classic-era items or the obvious hacks the site was selling in 1.09?
Quote:I can't say as I'd approve denying its value, and everyone deserves a chance to reform, right?
If d2items ever wanted to reform, I might agree. However, they're actively dealing in dirty items. I see no evidence at all of a desire to reform.
EDIT:
I guess all of this has been said already in this thread. Oops.
