Until Bliz actually goes after EBay sales, I really don't see any change.
The hackers will probably find a way to introduce both dupes and hacks to the ladder chars. And when the ladder resets, they'll tweak their scripts and start all over with the reset. No one will lose any item, it will just convert back to norm games.
So far, all Bliz has really done is delete a few cd keys. As much money as is involved in the selling and buying of duped/hacked/bugged items, this is like trying to patch "open-heart surgery" with chewing gum. And last I looked, McGyver wasn't working at Bliz. :P
If Bliz can take the "money" out of the duped/hacked/bugged items, we will then see the majority of these items disappear for good. But, as long as they can show a profit, forget it.
