Cheating ethics

[Jarulf]

My only concern from here on out is that people that come to these boards will look on this thread and utilize it's context as a basis for talking about "cheating".  I mean, your talking about using such things as .mpq readers, packet readers, and programs to understand better the functions of Diablo, in and off the net.  People will see that as, "well great, I use a packet-sniffer all the time", and from there talks *could* progress into how the game functions... and just as easily degenerate into what items are actually displayed on the gamble screen, how to bypass the WP/Hostile timer, and other 'fine-line' topics that boarder on cheating.

OK, that is something I can understand. Still, I would say the sites policy of non cheating is really the help I would say. My personal view is that as soon as you play with others, do it by the book (is that the correct expression) and when you play on your own, do whatever you feel like.
