I never had a problem with Cheating on Diablo 1. But when it came to Diablo 2 we spent hours trying to build our guy up through cheats and stuff, because those people pissed me off. Or if they just happened to die we would instantly steal there stuff if we could. Ofcourse in the process of all of this we turned into cheaters ourselves, but could you play the game back then without doing this? Maddening!

Still loved it though!

Diablo 2 you didn't drop gear anymore when being killed by monsters.  So the only thing you could steal would be gold and an ear (I believe they still had those didn't they).

Are you sure? Online? I just remember, well maybe people left stuff for others to pick up then?

He's right. On PVP, defeating a player would only earn you their "ear" as a trophy. But you're correct in that people could leave stuff on the ground for others to pick, but only when they were part of the same team. You can't pick stuff left by Hostile players.

Edit - Damn, I forgot about the Trading screen!
