nice thread, doesnt seem to be a bad community here ;)
wont go into the abandonware/hellfire issue. But i think i understand the way Setbuilder means he thinks it's hard not to cheat, it happened to my in my first Diablo period at age around 14 about a year or 7, 8 ago. I didnt dupe at the time, but knew how to do it, and then the problem comes around, you've finished your dungeon and decide to take a quick look at Gris' items. He offers something great, but you havent enough gold, and there's none in the dungeon. It's 2 am, so there are no friends around to invite for money, let alone mule in some gold. But leaving the game would mean you lose the treasure you want and having to wait games and games before Gris rolls that particuler number again (if you dont levelup too much in between). Now of course you could take that armor and some pots and make some money. Very tempting.
not even saying that a rogue should be able to steal from shopkeepers ;) (it will cost the rogue a lot of reputation if seen however ;))
and for your info, if the inet hasnt conveyed my meaning in the right way, i dont cheat, except for a little backupping for the everpresent lag-out trouble, and being able to keep your games after formats. (and although maybe cheating, i'd also use it when i (unwillingly!) touch a cauldron or click new game when my treasure still iis in town. such things spoil gaming fun)
