Blizzard has decided that map hack is cheating, because... it's unfair to other players!
Is this bizarre, or what?
It's clear that Blizzard somehow views Dx2 as a contest of some type. If we were talking about Warcraft or Starcraft, I could see it, but Diablo II?
I can believe that some would find map hack a useful program, since it allows players to selectively bypass some of Dx2's more obnoxious points, such as the darkness restrictions on vision, or endlessly searching for warp points. It's a pity Blizzard just doesn't buy map hack and incorporate it into the game as an option.
And I question Blizzard's claimed concern for 'other players' game quality. Blizzard is continuing its support for the growing harassment of legitimate players by rouge pvp players. Players are forced to constantly to look over their shoulders, or to abandon games altogether, to avoid ppl players, but apparently Blizzard considers this a positive part of game play.
Ok, I don't want to discuss all the negative aspects of pvp gaming, it's been done to death. I only mention it because it exposes the falsehood of Blizzard's silly claim, that they are concerned about game quality.
