    1. Blizzard delays Diablo III
    This isn't Blizzard's fault for trying to be perfect. Would you play a buggy, unpolished game?

    2. Blizzard demands online play only, creating instant death from lags and make offline, lagless play impossible and not an option.
    Diablo is meant to be played online, rofl.

    3. Blizzard can't keep a good login system to deal with the day 1 owners.
    Blizzard is the victim of their own success. No one could've predicted the magnitude of the pre-order and day 1 enthusiasm. This is a good problem to have for a company of their caliber. If anything those login hoggers should blame themselves for not having patience and jamming the login servers.

    4. Blizzard lets a loophole go live and enabled some hackers to steal customer's account through session ID
    Blizzard can't be blamed here, it's the fault of the gamers themselves for joining a public game.

    So you're saying that in the end we got a buggy, unploshed game; which is meant to be played online so players can steal your login details; except if you toy to play the game you bought as we intended you're a douche for hogging the login server?

    I thought so too. That would've been the ultimate coup de grace. Delicious tears.
    I forgave Blizzard for fucking up WoW launch, cause it's their first MMO. But THIS? No way in hell. It's a login system for a 4 player per room game. What the hell?!

    If Blizzard is smart, they might suspend the RMAH indefinitely instead of pushing ahead with it anyway while doing a hackjob of fixing the exploit in order to exploit maximum moniez.

    Keep your fingers crossed.

    Some people on battlenet forums seem to imply that there's no hack or exploit and thousands of people losing their stuff and gold is merely a coincidence.
    Fucking Occam's Razor, man.

    Here's my favourite rumour:

    "an exploit was discovered by duplicating a session ID
    basically, if you join a public game with people, they can view your session ID and spoof it to login as you without need for a password or email or anyting
    if you play with people, try not to play in public games bro, only with people you know"​

    If that's true, then Blizzard really fucked up on some basic security.

    I wonder if you can change characters without logging in again... I could have someone who bought the game legally join a public game with someone else, then tell me their session ID. I could then log in as them and roll my own character. (U_B_HAXX0R3D the monk).

    Yet this link says:
    o_O


    Oooooooh. I see. Accounts with activators CAN be hacked, but Blizzard HAVE YET TO INVESTIGATE the occurances of this.

    Clever wording there, Blizzard.

    $$$ Buy an authenticator! $$$
    $$$ Our security sucks, so create security by giving us money! $$$
    $$$ Buy buy buy! $$$

    Btw I have an authenticator, and I've had no issues with Diablo 3 (besides barbarian not being viable for inferno mode and the day-0 server issues), but this is ridiculous. They should hire a new security team or outsource that shit.

    Reality Check




    Trying to discover if I'm on the same planet with this.

    Here: a hacked player, is unhappy he used one of his only TWO roll backs.

    If the game play is SO great, and roll backs SO dear, why is he burning one.

    Allow me to evoke our common life time experience, and ping one and all with our mutual memories of other newly launched computer games with major bugs.

    Major bugs, the type of crash or player progression fail that required a restart.

    This time the party stopper, the game hijacking, is an PVP exploit possible because of the current commercial mandate for SOCIAL NETWORKING

    … D-blo3, WOW, SC2, appear to be one with Facebook, and Twitter as mass market wealth generators,

    … beyond the requirement of "persistent internet" as a necessity of game play, social networkin'.

    Wait, I'm wandering off a bit.

    A presumed experienced computer game player loses his loot...

    Repeating for emphasis, if Diablo 3 is SO *dear*, why is not a restart as sweet?

    Is the grind *so fine*?

    A virtual dance club …

    or just another pay to play lap dance?
