    Why would anyone buy...

    Diablo characters, aka "avatars"?

    I hear they sell for 200+ bucks!!! Why the **** would anyone want to buy a character for more than thrice the cost of the original game? Are people really that insane?

    Evidently some thing so.

      the amazing thing is that they got cheating programs so you can make a maximized character real easy...

        That's not as amazing as people spending real money to get equivalent characters.
        Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

          I think he meant that the existence of cheating programs make it all the more amazing that somebody would spend money on a character.

            I am currently selling text files with my name written in them for only 5 USD. Anyone want one?

              link?

              I know they used to sell SoJ's on e-bay for a buttload of money.

              ACK!

                pathetic.

                I may be a geek, but I will never be as pathetic as that. I feel better about myself now

                You can also sell credits to the online game Eve.

                My brother was trying to sell about 10 million credits for $60. That's enough to pay for the game.

                  it's easy enough to just play the game and get a powerful character the normal way. i've beat the game through hell level with all 7 classes, they're ALL mid to upper 70's.

                  people are just idiots, that's all.

                    Connorkimbro:

                    i used to play Diablo too (although like two years after everybody else cause i got it from the bargain bin) and i had this one warrior guy who had real high strength and magic but almost no dexterity... was a complete waste cause everytime i went down to hell, i'd get hit by everything and couldnt outrun any missiles.

                        And is this Diablo or Diablo2?

                        In diablo you can use a cheater to get any character you want.

                        diablo2 you can't do that on the closed battle.net.

                        And I don't have the patience to play hours and hours to get all those uber items. I don't know what I do wrong, but I never find any good items.

                        I would never pay for them of course. I have fun even without the best items.

                          A friend of a friend literally makes thousands of dollars selling special weapons in Diablo.

                            Doesn't anyone want to buy a text file with my name in it? I'll even lower the price to 2 USD.
