I have pirated softwear in the past and the only time I ever buy it is when I have respect for the game and the company. I've always been a long time fan of thier products because I know for sure they are going to be quality products. Saying that about any one company is a minor miracle in the gamming industry with all these clones and half finished crap that takes up 60% of games.
Unfortunatly most people on battle.net are complete assholes, take it from me, I've spent entire summers playing Diablo, Diablo 2, Diablo xpac, Starcraft and Warcraft 2. Espacially Diablo one and two, I only first realized this once I started playing EverQuest. In EQ everyone is so polite and trustworthy, and the role-players are a real pleasure to be around with their charming acting. Strangers approach me and ask me to hold stuff so they can move it form one charater to another, something totally unheard of in Diablo 1/2 where everyone guards their items like their made out of pure gold.
