Now, granted some clever guys will probably figure out what data is required for Diablo 3 to show monsters and loot, but ultimately it will probably not be anywhere near the quality of the real-deal. Wow emu server took years before it got close, but they are still riddled with bugs. It kind of like the difference of getting a unqualified plumber on the side of the road to fix your leaks vs getting a qualified one.
