I have loved every game from blizzard I have ever played, and this year, with my own net connection and my own copy of diablo II, I thought it was gonna be even more fun, i was WAY off.
It didnt take me long before i realized what a mess battlenet was, between all of the players who got alot of pleasure out of killing newbies, and all of the players trying to scam players out of their items, it wasn't fun for very long.
I got scammed pretty good one time, he said he had a way to dupe items and i was curious about it, even though i think cheats like that can ruin a game. i was pretty annoyed with the guy(i take games pretty seriously), even after he scammed me he was trying to get my account pass! (my hack didnt work! Give me your password and I can fix it! I wont steal your accout...i am not like that!) I didnt buy it and he fessed up and showed me my items in a trading window to taunt me.
Maybe I have lived a sheltered life or something, but I was surprised to see behavior like this. How could someone take so much pleasure out of tormenting others?
Bnetd sounds like an escape from the scammers and the player-killers and the hackers. If blizzard doesnt smarten up and start to take more aggressive actions against abusive players, people are just gonna keep on bringing up more bnetd servers, this will allow more and more players to play illegally.
