I guess I can steal some cash from old ladies, then. After all, money is "just a game", despite people putting plenty of time and calories into it. It's OK because the old ladies are noobs who should know better and have hired security to stop guys like me.

I punched a guy in the face today. It's ok, he learnt his lesson not to talk to me.

Now you're getting it guys! Enlighten us with more logical fallacy examples, eh! )

We have nothing to worry since the internet tough guy brigade has made it's appearance. This thread has potential.

Why are you taking this so personally? You expressed your opinion, I expressed mine. If you don't like it, tough luck. Do you think I'm going to change it if you start calling me names?

I'm actually surprised that he was able to get that many people, and continues to get even more. I don't even understand, do people not pay attention to all the social media, the Hardcore forums, and all the information from sources pointing out that such griefing is a possibility?

Of course not, but the more you know...

The videos say one of the requirements is noobs. There is your answer. Noobs don't look into all of that. Plus there are always impulsive people that just do it and don't think of the consequences.

But then again , I bet we have all made friends over the years with Diablo by doing just that , trusting randoms

Trusting people you know from outside the Blizzard game, fine.
Trusting people you know from a trustworthy site that happens to be about a Blizzard game, fine.
Randoms you met in game?

If people didn't click random banners they wouldn't die. That guy even makes fun of them for that.

Surely people realize even without godmode it's trivial to take advantage of the gear curve to where hell monsters can't really hurt you?

Ahem, as a former PKer in hardcore Diablo 2 I can answer why this is enjoyable. It is hard to actually get someone in a situation where they are dumb enough to fall for it. It kind of becomes their own stupidity.

You get an endorphin rush whenever you kill a character. You feel like a hunter and that is your prey. It is kind of the same rush except instead of an animal it is an in game character. Showing off in these videos is like a hunter showing off the animal taken out. This was one of the reasons ears were popular in hardcore Diablo 2 because you get their ear as a trophy after PKing them in many situations.

So basically you actually feel GOOD about yourself after and to each his own if you don't get the same rush. Now hacking someone's account you don't feel good about because it goes SEVERELY OUTSIDE the game rules and I consider that a bad thing. This way of griefing is all based off of IN GAME rules. It really depends on your level of tolerance I guess.

Although I remember people using name color change hack in Diablo 2 where they would put they were slain by a certain monster and to take their town portal to loot their corpse in hardcore. The noobs would believe it because they saw the fake color text and would enter the portal and die instantly. It went outside the game rules but it was done in such a way where it didn't feel that unfair unlike an in town PK hack. Remember it is all about your level of tolerance when doing this.

Bernie Madoff felt great when he took advantage of people's ignorance and cheated them out of their earnings.
He is a very unscrupulous and deviant fellow.

Is it really that self-gratifying to rely on such trickery to claim your quarry?
I don't mean you specifically but any such person involved in this type of thing.

This thread is just about ripe for a Hitler/Nazi reference
