Lurker Lounge now a hack site

I've had many, many Realm players tell me that all Single Player/Open gamers are cheaters - all the while they likely have Whites and dupes 1.08 Uniques coming out the wazoo! I love the double standards, as well as the fact that most Single Player gamers likely have never even HEARD of the various cheats available, and I find Open to be cleaner than the Realms - but that is just my experience.

Actual many Real SP have not even heard off the various items most realm builds is based on! But there might be some there have seen a few of them! :unsure:

I think that the concept of not playing to hoard is so difficult to grasp for many realm players that some simply asume Single Player too be cheating! And the logic is reasonable enough ! If you want to play as on the realms, try the "uberbuilds", hoard all the items, gain exp super fast and so on; then you must be cheating! Because how else would you accomplish that in a Singleplayer game!
The point is that you won't acompish it.

Single player is the natural place to play for "beating the game"! No trades, no waypoint giving , no helping with immunes and nasty bosses, noexp leeching, no mules to give items to! All achivements are you own, and so are all problems!

The gab between SP and realm play is really big now ( it where less before gambling was nerfed!).

Its so big that most guides are useless to real singleplayer! You would never get close to the items the builds is based on before game is beaten! And because off that optimized play often calls for different skill points use! And certainly problems/goals in the game require other solutions than the guides about to tell.

The Gab is so big that when raising questions in forum treads stating its a single player game question you are still likely to get at least 80% answers there is only an answer for a multiplayer character. (This happends even here in LL and in AB).

This is why Diabloii.net have 1 usefull forum for me lurking in! Beside that I don't have the best experience with their forums and guides! I simply use it for news (rumours or facts) . With their current politics I would happily use another good news site. Any suggestions ? (actual I just needs an email with"1.10 is here NOW")
