This thread amazes me. In the abstract sense, sure, I can see why some less-ethical people resort to using maphack. But to go as far as actually calling it "not a cheat" and/or "legitimate"? That takes a lot of nerve no matter what forum you're on. As I recall, both to install D2 in the first place, and to later register an account on Bnet, you had to agree to the Terms of Use, which includes a clause that specifically forbids using ANY third party program in conjunction with the game. That includes ALL bots and ALL hacks.
Maphack violates that agreement, ergo it is a cheat. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
