Diablo III has had its fair share of problems right from launch, and things are getting no better. Players have apparently found a relatively simple exploit that allows them to become completely invulnerable.

While this sort of thing would be bad news for any online game with at least a semblance of balance, the exploit is worsened by the game's economy. Diablo III's auction house is backed with real cash, and with indestructible wizards now on the prowl, the effects could be drastic.
So yeah, it looks like the title (the "Diablo" part of it, anyway) has become more and more prescient. At this rate, the servers should be consumed by actual hellfire sometime next year.
While it only works for the Wizard class, there's apparently no restriction on which game mode (normal or harder) you use. The exploit renders a few effects inactive, but on the flipside, well, you'll be invulnerable.
A poster on the Blizzard forums says to active the exploit, you need to do the following:
Step 1: Select Teleport - Fracture. Bind it to a key
Step 2: Select Archon, tested with Improved Archon
Step 3: Hover your mouse over or near your charcter
Step 4: Press Teleport
Step 5: QUICKLY(!) Press Archon
