Any interest in a self-serve leveling service?

Hey all,

Long time lurker first time poster here looking to feel out if there is any interest in some applications I developed mainly for myself and some friends. I have an application I wrote that essentially turns one Diablo account(that has a level 60) into what you could call a kind of "Server". I hand out client applications to my friends for use. What happens is I turn my Server account on and leave it up 24/7 whenever a friend wants a new character leveled they can start Diablo and get to the main menu with that character, they then open my client and hit connect. Once the server detects that a client has connected it begins doing leveling runs with the client. At any point more clients can connect and they will get invited at the start of the next run. I can have 3 clients connected to one server at any given time(4 party max). This allows friends to just start it up when they go to bed hit connect and be well on their way to 60 by morning. They can also stop it whenever they feel like if they want to do something else on their PC, and then start it up when they are done.

I had thought about offering this as a service for several reasons. One of the biggest was that leveling people in this manner does NOT require that I have your login credentials. This means Blizzard would not see some random guy/girl in another state logging into your account. No account lockouts would occur and for all intents and purposes we are just a level 60 and his friends playing the game. In addition you don't have to worry about me stealing any of your stuff or having access to your entire battle.net account. You can keep your authenticator attached as well, in fact I encourage that you do. I do not do short ZK runs that create hundreds of games per hour, I stick to runs that offer decent XP and game length(Min.time of 1 minute per run).

My application does not hook into any DirectX or Diablo 3 Dll's. All of the work is done using computer vision techniques on screen-grabs, so no worries about Warden banning you for reading memory or injection. I also change the GUID, Name, and some non-important lines of code and recompile for each client to ensure that each client is seen as a unique application.

If I offer the leveling service it would be along the lines of you pay something similar but probably cheaper than what you would for conventional leveling services(40$-50$ for 1-60), and that would buy you 5-7 days of time with my server. You would be given a unique client application which you could use to connect and start leveling a character at any time you wished. This means you can let it run all day or only when your asleep and you should still have a 60 well before your times up. In fact if you get one to 60 and still have time left you would be welcome to level more for as long as you have time left.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, or think this community would be interested in please let me know. I am kind of wary of putting the time in to make this App into something "Production" worthy if the interest is not there, especially considering the current state of the game.
