My guess would be that it's more difficult than you might think to simply delete those accounts outright, so they're banning them and collecting them into one division together. Possibly they're doing this as part of a process that will result in those accounts being deleted, possibly they'll just be left there as a warning to others.

Haha that'd be hilarious if the drop hackers could only ladder vs other drop hackers. I wish I could see the look on their faces if that was the case.

I like the idea someone else had of just nuking their MMR somehow (either ridiculously high or low, not sure how the math would work out) so that they would have to wait indefinitely in the queue or be paired against other identified hackers (so they could have a hack-off lol).

I doubt they aren't banned. Blizzard made them all bronze because it will be in their season 2 history forever that they failed. Banned accounts aren't deleted, they will stay there foreve, as bronzes =)

If a Drop hacker plays another Drop hacker. And they drop hack each other.........

Blizz should make it so they only can play each other, but their wins don't count EVER!!!! MUAHAHA

Sounds like they're collecting the hackers in one bronze division because they don't want to completely eliminate the accounts from the database (pending further analysis or something).

Maybe they should do something like "secretly" change the password of drophacking accounts. If you forget your password or need it reset, don't you need to do something like mail a picture of your drivers license or something?
How does it feel knowing you wasted another 3 seconds of your life reading this again?

On the one hand, I love it--talk about being placed in the virtual stocks!

On the other hand, I hope Blizz has done something to either prevent them from laddering or ensure that they only ladder against each other--people in the bronze league deserve protection from drop-hackers too!

Maybe Blizz is thinking the ladder lock will dissuade them from hacking. Or maybe they're also fixing the hack.

Well played Blizzard, well played. If only you did this a lot sooner, could have saved a lot of frustration. Rainbow yelling "what the fuck" a few times comes to mind among many others.

They already do this for WoW. You need to send in some kind of identification, a photocopy of a drivers license works. A birth certificate works too.
