It’s so sad that people within the age group of Diablo II’s demographic do not understand the simple definition of “cheating”.
I pointed that out before and hell, in this very topic Stanner in the first very post puts out the definition from a dictionary and people are still arguing.
Facts don’t care about your feelings folks.
Yes, they are cheating. No, cheating does not necessarily mean “illegal” or using “third party” or whatever. That’s “hacking” (or rather “script kiddie-ing”) in video games and it is a subset of cheating.
Yeah, people are indeed confused about the meaning of “cheating”. People like OP.
They are clearly abusing the game’s mechanics, and playing “Diablo II Communism”. Which I explained LONG ago and proposed solutions to it, and I have explicitly written that most abusers/cheaters would be against those solutions:
Diablo II stays abuse-to-win, and stays fun only for abusers and cheaters.
“Drop rates are fine” says those Diablo II Communism players that have people find items for them. “Player x command would kill bnet” says those abusers. “Ploot will suddenly make D2 into The Evil D3”. Said those people, that let other people literally play the game for them and they take the credits (and their money, items, etc. too!).
