Will duping/hacking/botting persist in D3?

Don't forget that the d**m physical installer defaults your location to the US server, wherever you are on the globe. IO had to manually change to europe.

So that might be why there are LOTS of players on US.

Thanks for pointing that out.

As of a couple of hours ago, there were 500 auctions for some level 9 legendary item. Since there were exactly 500, I think there were more, but the search tool simply didn't show them.

I'd be surprised if hacks/bots for the full release don't already exist (at minimal partially working.) People had the pre-release/beta for months to look at the code/design. The hackers/exploiters are extremely resourceful at what they do (look at our own/other modders! HellUnleashed, Median, and to a lesser degree, RWM, ATMA/GoMule ect*,) and some see it as a challenge. How quickly can you exploit the code upon looking at it? Plus, real money + game = easy way to cheat money from others.
The warden system from SC that was put into it failed miserably. There is always a way around something, and it's only a matter of time before they're released publically.

Vid posted on March 27 claims (doesn't provide info to or links) that there was already a maphack, and chickenmode (immediate quit) for the beta.

*No, I'm not saying that modding and hacking are the same. But it's all code editing. They all understand the coding behind games, and about modifying and creating new code.

Yeah. Sad but true.

G.R.D (bots will exist, and be easy to make )

I havent heard this, i got the physical disc and it defaulted to EU servers. The activation code in the box even says EU activation code so i presume battlenet knew from when i linked my install to my account that it was from Europe.

Anyone ever stumbled on the possibility that those magefists for sale are koming from Blissard? And dumped upon accounts used by staff??
check the sellers, do they even have friends in game? are they playing a lot, are they active etc etc.

Bliz would gain nothing by doing this... so it's silly to even suggest it.

Yeah, my confidence in keeping dupes, hacking, and bots out is really low.

I was reading on the official forums that some accounts have been hacked and items looted.

Get an Authenticator.

How? /tenchars
