Diablo 3 Banhammer Dropped Just Before RMAH Goes Live
eldavojohn writes "One thing Diablo 3 has that many other games do not is a 'Real Money Auction House' (RMAH), which went live today for players with two factor authentication. Of course, mere hours before that, Blizzard publicly announced they would follow through on their promises. Accounts they have identified as cheaters and botters have been banned 'by the thousands.' No official number is out, but the news is indicating that as people get off of work and return home to their bot-wives and bot-kids they may find themselves without a valid Battle.net account (possibly tied to other games like SCII and WoW). Blizzard has also included many fixes to remove/dissuade many other exploits but if their past arcane attitude toward the 'gamers of the game' is any indication, thousands will be unhappy."
A game now so immersive they included a hardcore mode for botters!
Papa Legba come and open the gate
Meanwhile, I'll be playing Pool of Radiance on my Amiga 500. The only thing I have to worry about is losing my code wheel.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
Frustrated and stressed by my own failure, I began distancing myself from my wife and children. After a few days, I began verbally abusing them, and it eventually escalated into physical abuse. I was slowly losing what remaining sanity I had left. If this had continued for much longer, it is highly probable that I would have committed suicide. A mere shell of what I once was, I barricaded myself in my bedroom and cried myself to sleep for days on end.
Funniest spam I have ever read on Slashdot :D
Bow before me, for I am root.
in Wow, several times. All of them after I no longer played the game.
So you were no longer playing the game... several times?
Slashdot social media options: AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, Jabber and Mobile Text. Why no MySpace?
There are no cheaters. The worthless DRM stops them from existing!
Filthy, filthy copyrapists!
Who the hell is going to pay real money for gear in a single player game?
Lots and lots and lots of morons, more morons than Blizzard could ever piss off.
Don't know something? Look it up. Still don't know? Then ask.
Well, I guess if your brain is only limited to ancient repetitive games, that's cool. Been there done that, don't need to do it again.
Sure is a lot of hatred for D3 around here...
