Cheating on Ladder

[vor_lord]

Ok, I am not looking for items to help me cheat; I am happy as a clam with doing my own magic finding. I am looking for what cheats are actively around on Battle.Net LOD 1.10 Ladder. I would like to start possilbily trading and I am still very very skeptical about the legitimacy of items up for trade.

To my knowledge, this is the state of the Ladder in 1.10 (I've been playing consistently since the patch release):

Maphack, GrabIt (or something just like it), bots (especially those darn spammer bots), and trigger type hacks are
quite common.

Item duping, however, has never been nearly as successful as it was pre patch. A couple of times, an exploit went public, and then
it got fixed. The items disappeared soon anyway due to the dupe scanner, but there were obviously a few people ripped off
during those times. I haven't heard of this happening for several months (doesn't mean it hasn't).

There is one notable exception: runes are not detected by the dupe scanner. There was a rash of rune duping
(before the hole was shut down) very early on after the patch, but given the high price of runes these days I highly
doubt they've been successfully duped in any significant numbers since.

Hacked items (white rings etc) I never hear about. Those probably don't worry you though, they are very easy to
recognize.

So, if you're worried about legitimacy, I would think the biggest worry you should have is whether or not the item
you are trading for was obtained by using a bot. I have no way of gauging that probability. I do trade whenever I
want a specific item--no one has ever bragged about their bot (although for some reason using maphack is a reason to
tout your skill, what gives?) but I have no idea how widespread botted items are.

As always the only completely safe trade is one you make with yourself.

The state of the 1.10 Ladder is WAY more legit than non-ladder, but there are no guarantees.
