All they needed to do was restrict use of the auction house and prevent weapons from being traded / exchanged (i.e. stop the player from picking up dropped weapons). There was no need to stop players from matchmaking, levelling up or progressing in the game.

I'm glad that Blizzard is making changes but how the hell did they think such a change was going to be received? They come across as a bunch of headless chickens. As I've said before, Blizzard's security precautions are woefully lacking and nonsense like this doesn't make them look any more credible.
