Yea but they would need two battlenet d3 keys to do that. Unless they had physical access over the machine. They would probably have two pcs with two ips to prevent being detected. Because you could just run a check on the d3 servers for people connecting to two battlenet accounts from same ip.
But considering they ahve centralized it all "to prevent hacking" they failed big time. They should have ways to detect who the gold was traded to then find that account and ban it and return all the gold. if not what is the point of centralizing it.

just finished normal, that story was so cool but the ending was a bit pants
act 2 boss was easily the best boss
i found a dagger in act 2 that i used on my barbarian all the way through to the end lol, i chose barbarian for giant axes and swords, not a little dagger making him look a bit silly lol

I assumed they would just log onto the hacked account, do their thing, then have some mule join to transport the gold/items away on a different IP.

It's legandary for a reason!
Although the auction house begs to differ.
I got one on my first play through on normal, now on Act3 Hell and have yet to see another. I personally feel they should drop a lot less considering so many are up for sale.
I finished normal with the barb and the best I found was a rare!
I've seen several people saying to save putting money into crafting and just buy items from the AH...but isnt that basically twinking your character? especially bad if its your first character!
Where's the fun in just buying all the best equipment every 5 levels or whatever?
I dont understand why you would need two D3 keys. One of the log-ins is the hacked account. I understand what you mean about IPs though. Perhaps they just have a friend assisting.

Act 2 boss is the most annoying.
Definitely friends assisting.
It's not just a few guys doing it on their own, it's bound to be several groups of people. Like with the 3rd party sites for Diablo 2, loads of people farming for stuff and making money off it, but this is likely to be loads of people stealing stuff and planning to make money off it.
It wouldnt matter about 2 accounts using the same IP... My gf and I play from behind the same public IP address, essentially the same thing that any hacker would be doing when moving gold / items across. Best way to spot it is to have a system that recognizes when an account is accessed from an irregular location, rather than "2 accounts to one public ip = hacker" i guess.

Hmm, out of interest... has anyone got a rare drop from white mobs?
Just had to pay out 30k to get my Barb advancing again... I killed Maghda and then everything suddenly got a lot harder...

Me and my Bro both have accounts playing from the same IP so two accounts from 1 IP cant really be stopped or it going to cause us and probably a lot of other people issues.

yea fair point, they most likely have a mule as suggested or work in teams.
I'm a bit gutted I've gone through normal and nightmare and didn't get one legendary item.
I got 3 on my first playthrough, the first 2 within about an hour of each other!

once, i believe. to be fair i was just spamming ball lightning into a group but i'm pretty sure they were all normal mobs, none of them put up a fight anyway
yup, have had quite a few rares from normal enemies
Feeling the same way. I have no idea how people can stomach doing the same content again, knowing that nothing new will be added to the game for years. I know you do pretty much the same in MMOs when re-running instances, but it's just boring in Diablo. I think I play just because it's like an 'on the rails' thing to do whilst on Teamspeak with friends.
My mate got a legendary level 60 two hand axe from a basic zombie in Inferno!
