From battle.net: We are aware of a drop hack currently being used in StarCraft II and have banned a number of players for using it. Anyone found using drop hacks or other cheats to increase standing in the ladder or gain an unfair advantage in individual games will be banned. We take the integrity of online play on Battle.net very seriously and will take swift action to punish the use of any illegal cheats or hacks. Link I've also been reading on some of the hacker-forums, and some people there have been banned as well. Looks like Blizzard is caring nontheless. To bad many of them did only use the hack with their trail accounts. | ||

Zamara is a Protoss character from one of the books; pretty standard naming convention for a division. I doubt whatever they're using even allows the creation of custom-named divisions, since that capability would never have been conceived to be of any use in development.. | ||

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. Yup. Pretty sure they moved them so they could remove as many hackers as possible, letting legit players earn their Season2 ending rankings, then ban the accounts they moved. The drophackers on that list haven't played any games in the last couple of days, so blizz has probably already banned the accounts. It's just like in WoW, a banned account still exists, it just can't be accessed. No reason to be concerned here, I would imagine these accounts will not be laddering in the future. | ||

Much better than just banning them, leave em in Bronze for a time and then ban them  | ||

Banned accounts aren't deleted, they will stay there foreve, as bronzes =) ^This. It's kinda of Blizzards way of saying, "you hacked to get to the top? LOL NOPE BRONZE TROLOLOL" | ||

Zamara was a protoss preserver, a profession open only to those few protoss who have the ability to preserve the memories of all members of their species. She held an extremely dangerous secret. Go go conspiracy theorists! | ||
