The OP is biased imo. My view is that Blizzard thought it would be a good idea to ban people for cheating. Achievement hackers aren't even close to multiplayer hackers on an "evil" scale but they still get achievements for doing nothing. Achievements may not hold dear to many on TL, but I think we all know the kind of people who hopped on the bandwagon for SC2 but didn't play BW.
At least I got chicken

This makes zero sense. But i'm assuming since your always online, Blizz can't tell the difference.

And Half, the rules being violated here were not "arbitrary." If you check into a hotel and sign a contract to not do X, and then you go and do X anyway, then they have every right to kick you to the curb. It's the same deal with SC2.


Only if the stipulation not to do X is reasonable and relevant. It is neither reasonable nor relevant to ban people for modifying the game while playing on single player mode.


Half, where is your legal precedent for this claim? I'm not trolling here, I'm honestly curious. In what cases has it been decided that certain terms of a contract (the TOS in this case) can not be enforced if they are deemed by a court to be neither reasonable or relevant. Also, reasonable and relevant to what? What the court can infer as the underlying agreement of the contract?

I've always been of the understanding that when I agree to a contract, I agree to all terms of that contract (unless the performance of such terms are inherently illegal, and blocking individuals from the use of a private service is not an inherently illegal action). So the only question here in my mind is whether someone has breeched the terms of the contract, which has happened. Unless you have evidence that courts have the power to deem portions of contracts as irrelevant?



Even a lawyer couldn't define for you 100% if this move was legal or not. Thats for the courts to decide, and I'm certainly neither a court justice nor a lawyer. However, I know for an 100% certainty that the law is murky enough that it cannot be clearly defined either way.

Removing a customers access to a service he payed for without restitution due to an issue of private usage that doesn't conclusively damage the value of the service as a whole nor violate any legal clause can be seen as a violation of several elements of contract law, including unconscionability, misrepresentation, Illusory promise.



You have been already shown why this move is legal. Several times in this thread. Your ethical standpoint might not agree. But hey I bet someone who breaks the law oftern doesnt agree with it either.

Anyone who would try to go to court because their account was banned for this would be laughed at by any judge or lawyer.

Apperantely, you don't have the mental capacity to understand what you are being told, or your beliefs are just so ingrained in your head that you are incapable of seeing another angle. I can link you to several replies, several from myself that draw you a clear line. I suggest to you an alternative: look up a community college near your school and enroll, look to take some reading comprehension and critical thinking classes.

I can write out my point in a clear line, one thought leading to the other, and have dont this, several times aready for you, each iteration simpler than the last so you might possible understand.

I have shown you why it cheating, the parties which are hurt by this, that is is stated as an offense in the terms which you agreed to.. Your logic has thus far consisted of saying "Well it's not fair, people should do what they want, they paid money for it" over and over.

Undermining the achievement system is a perfectly valid reason to ban people.

Also you deserve to be banned for buying cheats it's that stupid :p

It was actually dirt on a Canadian corporation, and you seem to have completely missed the point.

He responded to my assertion that blizzards policies were indifferent to the rights of the consumer by pointing out often states are indifferent to the rights of individuals. I responded by facetiously pointing out that thinking that corperations are states was fallacious and poisonous, and used an example I hope would "hit close to home", so to speak.

Its ok, I enjoy supplementing my posts to make up for your lack of reading comprehension D:. pad dat postcount son.

What the, i would have understand removing the achievements of those who cheated or something around those line, but banning, for single players?

I'm scared now, since i've loaded up Cheat Engine and messed around with the game in singleplayer, as i do with pretty much every game once i've done everything, for the fun of it. I did not get any achievements but still i don't want to get my account banned.


Say you remove his achievements... what about the hack that is running while logged into B.Net... Do you think blizzard is gonna be ok with just removing his achievement points but allow him to continue on with this trainer that probably does more than what you were probably doing?

You're mentally deficient if you can't discuss the terms of service of a video game without introducing random pinko political issues that have absolutely nothing to do with the subject. Please, for the love of god, stop.

Blizzard is banning people who hack their software to cheat on a competitive online gaming service. They'd also ban people who win trade to the top of the ladder.

Where? I haven't seen a single bit of legal defense for this move more complex then "The TOS said so duuuddee".

Funny what kind of culture we live in that is now capable of associating corporate policy with justice.

Tell me. Is this justice?


you talk about ethics and justice, yet you compare the crimes some corporations commit all over the world to blizzard banning people who cheated to get easy acheivements. let's contact amnesty international, dude, blizzard is banning again! ridiculous.

If you can't argue against valid points you might as well ignore them and argue pointless semantics for 4 pages huh?

Well maybe blizzard needs to make their own trainers? Obviously their tutorials weren't enough and people needed help to get through... SP!? Kind of rediculous, I've never seen bans in any game for achievement bugging especially through single player, MP is really the only thing that counts, Blizz is wasting their time with SP.
