I realize that Blizzard can't completely stop people from creating hacks, but I think that they could do more. For example, have a Blizzard employee try to buy or trade for hacked items on the realms. When they find someone who will trade them a hacked item, ban that person's CD key. Have someone monitor the trade channels, if someone asks for a hacked item, ban their CD key. Randomly check accounts for hacked items, if the account has a hacked item, ban the CD key of the next person who logs into that account.
These are *very* simple ways to stop hacks. (I'm not talking about dupes here.) These methods by their nature will not result the banning of anyone who is legit. Also, this method punishes the user of hacked items as well as the maker. After you ban enough people for just having hacked items, the demand of such items will go down, so there will be less of a reason to make them. Does anyone know of a reason not to do this??? Why hasn't Blizzard thought of it???
Maybe you could even similar methods to ban the CD keys of people using dupes, but you'd have to think of a good way to be 100% sure.
