I guess im going to have to make a mp3 that beeps every 17 seconds and put it in itunes lol. lame as The Warden program that was made so famous by other blizzard games did indeed monitor other windows that were open in an attempt to discover 3rd party software. Whether or not this carries over when you are playing in single player, I do not know. However, pretty good chance since a bunch of people just got banned. On the other hand, the real question is whether or not Warden works when offline (no internet, not just playing offline) and Warden has no connectivity to Bnet. Achievements do not matter much to me (except Zerglot! :D) but they do to a fair number of people. Because of that, they should be banned. Just so they do not ruin other people's experience. | ||

Only reason I can see for resorting to third party software would be to obtain the achievements, which some people including myself, actually care about. | ||

It's just that the moment you start using any form of 3d party software to alter starcraft you'll risk getting banned from online play. They can still play single player as much as they want, with whatever hacks they choose. | ||

Right now a lot of people give a fuck. Some people enjoy that part of their game play. Are you really going to sit here and insult anyone who enjoys a FUCKING VIDEO GAME differently than you? Then fuck you. No one would care about them if they knew you could easily get all of them without earning them. This being allowed would make achievements completely and utterly meaningless, they might as well take em out of the game if they allowed this. OF COURSE they're banning people for cheating -_- | ||

The confusion all comes from an inaccurate statement that we think cheating in single player negatively affects achievements or some such. Not the case. I don't even know if the person who this story is based on actually got banned, but if they did, it's because they were using a hack inside a multiplayer game. I would recommend that if you want to cheat in single player StarCraft II games, use the ones we put in there. A lot of the hacks out there work in both single and multi. If you get a third party hack and intend to only use it for single player, and then go play a mutiplayer game with it still on, you're bound to get tagged. Edited to clarify who Bashiok is, in case someone is unfamiliar. | ||
