actually i was the one who ordered the LE first on PG(thank got that never got through) and i have tried it through a guest pass(thanks again for that [MENTION=1414]Omyakha[/MENTION]). couldn't even finish that due to extremely boring dungeons and bugs. short story, don't ever doubt my diablo knowledge!
this proofs nothing...its just like playing any normal game online. the only difference is that u must connect to a authorize server even if ur playing alone. btw whenever a client connects to a server, both of them share authorization protocols/files which are then checked randomly to validate that the client is indeed legitimate. what i m trying to say here is that the client keeps a local copy of those authorization files until the connection is lost which is how a supposed hacker could get those server sides files, reverse engineer them and voila, we have a fake server that mimics official server protocols aka how all MMOs are pirated :S

and that is why i said a emulated server(with bare minimum files needed for alone playthrough) would work...
1) its a full-fledged online game which u just claimed cannot be cracked
To play the game u connect to a server which supports upto 4 players
This is exactly like all online games and online games without user available server files don't get cracked
2) yes the game is 10gb as all models and game files are available locally
The data to render what dungeons and what encounters and how enemies react is server-side just like in mmo
3) pirated servers for mmo are emulated
Not duplicated hence my point they are half stitched as I have played extensively on them
