Cheating ethics

[gekko]

My father enjoys diablo 2 single player.  I enjoy multiplayer

Keep in mind that whether you're playing single or multiplayer ultimately should answer this question for you. If you're playing single player (or over a LAN in your house where everyone agrees to use program X), you can do whatever you want. You'll only be cheating yourself.

If, on the other hand, you're loggin on to b.net and playing multiplayer, then yes, it is cheating. How 'bad' it is depends on the program, and that, I'm also not touching with a ribcracker :). If you choose to use 3rd party programs, you ARE cheating, and you ARE breaking blizzard's rules.

That being said, it is only a game. You can frankly do whatever you want, and with blizzard's track record, you'll probably never face any consequences. On [/i]this site,[/i] on the other hand, we actually have a zero-tolerance policy -- and it's enforced. So don't cheat on b.net :)
