EPTThe guy is bound to do some more drophacking, only this time Blizzard will be able to monitor his account more closely and as it happens. If they banned him, they'd have one less specimen to examine.
Either that or they're just trolling him.

Quite hilarious if you think about it. "Oh shi- it's you!"

That way every time he played a match even if he won he would lose ladder points. Good on blizzard to shut this guy down. Ya I think that would be awesome, and they can also only get matched up against other drop hackers.. so basically they waste a bunch of time to lose points regardless of if they use their drop hack first. | ||

I was happy and thought he got banned but someone linked me his profile and said he was not banned but demoted to bronze... it is unlike blizzard to do something like this thoughts? http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/1993094/1/xxTheSteinxx/ ![[image loading]](http://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq172/james_8198/Untitlesd.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq172/james_8198/Untitleed-1.jpg) as you can see they both have the same name and same amount of wins which is 221. He was once in grandmaster and now in bronze unless theres a guy with the same amount of wins + same name but is in bronze and same icon... which is highly unlikely. Blizzard can infer he drop hacks (and he does I'm not denying it), but when they ban accounts they use a program to factually know that he used that hack. | ||

Until he actually plays another game, I'd just assume he is banned. probably they have never removed any one from the ladder whether they are banned or not... for the longest time they just let banned hackers sit where they were on the ladder, and there was a blue post saying something like, with bonus pool they will be passed up so meh... Maybe moving them to their own division was their solution, since maybe there is some technicality on removing someone from the ladder entirely =/ | ||

And to be fair, they are probably dumb enough to continue. Very happy they are starting to show signs of action against hackers. | ||

Blizzard has never ever banned a private hacker without them using a public drophack, and there will be many private hacks out, so sadly the ladder will only get worse. Season 3 is going to be a joke unless they learn to do their jobs or hire ladder players to do their job for them. | ||

Last time Blizzard did a mass banwave, maphackers received 3 day suspensions. "Hack your way to #1 in the world? Well here's a slap on the wrist with an account rollback. Now go think about what you've done!" If Blizzard bans hackers, then those hackers probably won't buy the expansion packs, which means less money for them. The money is more important than the integrity of the game. | ||

If they banned them, they won't purchase expansions. I don't see the logic. They are aware of what they are doing, I don't think them getting banned will change their mind of whether they wish to purchase a copy or an expansion. Only reason I can think of is that they are limited in funds. | ||

I am sure that blizzard just had to move the hackers out of the divisions they had hacked into to before banning the account, especially since they otherwise would be taking up top slots. | ||
