I have no idea what it is. But all your theories are just that. Theories. They make sense, but then you'll have someone doing all you're saying you did, but hasn't gotten banned... yet. the mini banwave a week before the 12/18, I had just started using DB. I have 2 main accounts, never botted. I...
The items will also require an account-bound crafting reagent called Demonic Essence, which drops from Elite monsters in Inferno...
SOOO, the new crafting essence can't even be sold/traded
