Well, looks like Blizzard are banning people that are cheating in WoW again. Personally I think this is a good thing, but I know some people have problems with the way they detect cheats (mainly, the cheaters)
<blockquote>
After reporting only earlier this month that they banned no less than 36,000 Battle.net accounts, which covers games like StarCraft and Diablo II, they have now waded into their big MMORPG World of Warcraft and beat the hell out of about 1,500 accounts, wiping them clean off their servers for cheating.

I for one applaud the efforts of Blizzard for taking these actions. It gives me a warm feeling inside when someone takes a stand against cheating and discourages others to cheat.

Well as far as diablo2 goes, they'll have to ban perhaps as much as half of their playerbase before all the cheaters are gone from there. No exaggeration. It's good that they crack down on the cheating, because it really sucks to have your game experience ruined by it.
