Another news item concerning the banning of filthy cheaters and exploiters has come out today, this time for Diablo III. According to a recent blue post on the Battle.net forums, Blizzard states that they have issued the first round of suspensions and bans to those in violation of the Terms of Use.
This comes at the same time Blizzard rolled out the real money auction house (RMAH) for Diablo III. It also comes on the day following a rampant rumor of a gold duping exploit. That gold duping rumor was shown to be nothing more than a joke, but that didn't stop people from setting up items on the auction house with 2 billion gold buyouts in an attempt to get rich quick.

We recently issued a round of account suspensions and bans to several thousand Diablo III players who were in violation of the Battle.net® Terms of Use for cheating and/or using botting or hacking programs while playing. In addition to undermining the spirit of fair play that’s essential to everyone’s enjoyment of the game, botting, hacking, and other such exploitive behavior can contribute to stability and performance issues with the Battle.net service. As always, maintaining a stable, safe, and fun online-gaming experience for legitimate players is a top priority for us, and we'll be continuing to keep watch on Battle.net and take action as needed.
