A successful duel in Diablo II requires trust. So, even with 'moderators' and observers, since Blizzard did not provide a 'referee' tool, some one felt they had to develop one.
The problem with the PvP game is the combination of bugs and lack of trust, not to mention raw cheating. Which is why I said what I did: in a public game, it is "I show up, you show up, and one wins." Rules in a knife fight? There aren't any!
You can't enforce rules without a ref, and Blizz did not provide ref tools, so while I disagree with third party programs, I understand why avid duelitsts want one.
One more point on why the Arena being put aside was a shame in re the PvP crowd.
As I had been gone for a while, I applaud you legits packing up and leaving the PvP forum to stew in its own juices. I thought it was a cesspool, personally, all the nice folks aside.
