Not loading a mod will not exempt you from other people hacking, becaust it isn't loading a mod.
IE in starcraft, you dont have to load a mod for other people to use their maphack.

I want to say that this doesn't detract from the experience, but it does for me.

Then again, it really boils down to what the ARPG genre means to you.

Diablo III was nice until about halfway through inferno, then I let it go at ~60 hours. Great game, but the gear disparity was too much of a problem for me. Definitely got my monies worth though.

while I certainly can't define for you what is fun and isn't, I just as certainly feel that comparing Starcraft, or any other PVP game, to TL2, in detail, is pointless. Sure, a maphack where you can see where the other guys are would suck... if you're trying to kill them. This is a co-op Multiplayer, not a PVP. So the guy makes himself a god-sucking weapon, or can see all the way across the map environ. Who cares? If it bothers you that he's got it easy, there's a simple solution. You create a new dungeon instance, reset the map, set a password, and give it to the people NOT using the god-suckers.

Once again I was not comparing the actual game, I was telling you that hacking doesnt require that both machines have the same mods/files.

Kinda feels like you aren't misunderstanding, but not actually reading my post.

This post kinda sounds rude, but I am really not trying to piss you off.

No, I think I understand what you're trying to say, and I guess my point is, that if you decide someone's hacked their toon, don't play with them, and that I feel there's a huge difference between someone hacking in a PVP multiplayer environment, and a co-op Multiplayer environ, especially when you can simply close your instance of the game, and start a new one. Let 'em hack; no skin off my back, and I guess I can't understand why it should bother you?

to add to that, if it's the "Ferris Bueller" syndrome ("why should he get away with it??!!"), I don't know how you could handle any time at all in D3, where the kid with the most money, wins. That's a pay-to-win game at its utmost.

Makes sense. At its price point, its atleast worth checking out. Worst case scenario, I might just enjoy myself.
