Hmmm. Reminds me of the Bard's Tale and the old AD&D Gold Box games. (One of the starting character sets for Dark Queen of Krynn came with Gauntlets of Ogre Strength. One recommendation was that you duplicate it for every member of your party, using the loot-delete-recopy technique you describe.) I presume that Diablo is not the first game you've used this technique for...

(I often just used a hex editor to edit my Strength up to 25, for example. Then Dark Sun/Wake of the Ravager came along and you could have 24 Strength with a half-giant legitimately! Happy days.)
