If there is one really, really good reason for blizzard to require a battle.net connection, this is it. gg blizz!

I don't know how many of you can get super excited about 5,000 players getting temporary suspensions. You do realize this will have no effect, right?
This is nothing more than a publicity stunt.
'Hi folks, we're doing something about those hackers for you. We're on the job.'
5,000 of 3,000,000 accounts is around 0.002 percent. ._.
This is little reason for applause.

First of all, they're permanent bans. 60 dollars down the drain.
5,000 of 3,000,000 accounts is around 0.002 percent. ._.
Second of all, how is that even relevant? There aren't THREE MILLION hackers in SC2. There's probably more than 5k, but banning hackers can never be a bad thing. Getting rid of cheaters is a publicity stunt now, wow. People will find any excuse to hate Blizzard.

5,000 of 3,000,000 is 0.2%, not 0.002%. seems like a good number to start from for me.

So you're saying they should ban 3million people? every player?

Blizzard doesn't have a temp-ban option like there is on TL (edit: reference missing, but you don't read about such a thing in the media). It's called "Account suspensions" and Blizzard has those. Blizzard even says: "including suspensions and bans" - therefore not even 5000 perma bans. Thanks for the correction, I read over that. Guess it's a waiting game to see if it has any effects on hackers and how common they are.

Good to hear but I'm surprised it's only 5k.
|
How many of these overlap with our wall of shame hacker thread?
|
I'm pretty sure they are not banning based on hack reports folks. More likely they just downloaded two or three examples of common hacks, programmed warden to look for them, then banned everyone in their logs who came up positive since the day they started up warden (which was like a few weeks ago I believe). That's about the best we can hope for unless they allow us to manage our own ladders someday.

they could only do: Sort player by single mission achievement point -> ban all 1600
|
I highly doubt they banned 5,000. The last time they banned people they overstated it by 100x. (300,000). Good news though

But to add I'm shocked its only 5k, I would think at least 100k 100k is a lot of people. Given that most of the players don't care for hacking and a good portion are casual and don't even really think about it, only a small percentage of the population ever considers it...
Hackers: -Balls out newbies who couldn't play on a reasonable level to save their life. Most of them just live with it - some of them cheat and are still pretty mediocre. If they were truly cool they would be script kiddies and they would crash low-bandwidth websites. -People with "reasonable" skills who want people to think they're better than they really are and manage to convince themselves that it is the case. -RICH's evil twin brother which provides others with a desktop icon which you can double click and then you're instantly blessed with a fancy "hacker" title.

5,000 out of 3,000,000 is about 0.2% not 0.002%.
edit: Someone beat me to it. Sorry.

My bad 0.2. Didn't move the decimal over.
Achilles don't put words in my mouth. 5,000 out of 3,000,000 players caught? I think that is a gross understatement and even then that's not even a slap on the wrist.
