"Today’s account closures reflect our zero-tolerance policy against cheating, as well as our effort to prepare the Realms for the new ladder season. We appreciate the support of the thousands of legitimate Diablo II players in helping us keep Battle.net a secure and fun place to play Blizzard games."

Zero tolerancy policy against cheating whenever it SUITES THEM. People have been using MH's worry free for well over 3 years, almost the same w/ bots and pretty much any other exploit. The support from the "thousands" of legit players is primarly noobs, that just don't know where to get a mh from. I see a legit player once in a blue moon and hey thats cool but if they need to be constantly enforcing the rules so people dont become accustomed to breaking them. Just because they're initiating a new ladder they all of the sudden get w/ the program. They've probably banned the equivalent to half of the new players they've aquired w/ the new patch. I'm not crying, because I'm not playing anymore. But really, it was a bonehead move on they're part.
Moving onto WoW(hack free) eventually.
