Personally, I think there must be something going on with those accounts, because I did nothing to my account, not even using mouse macros, and I didn't got banned. So I think they maybe did something to their account, not cheating, but something that has been detected as a hack, but they don't even realize that is a hack. Maybe like changing MPQs or interface or something, I don't know. It is a mystery right now  | ||

The people who got banned, received a letter from Blizzard, of course, But the interesting thing is that the Sender of the E-mail is not "Blizzard-Starcraft" but "Blizzard-World of Warcraft" and it is not written in Chinese or English either, it is written in Korean which most people can't understand. This news is from Bahamut, the largest gaming forum in Taiwan. | ||

When Sen streams, I noticed he had some kinda music player that seemed easy to interact with while playing SC2, so that may be a hint of TW programs being really good at integrating themselves with other software. If that is the case, and something did a particularly good job at it, it is conceivable that such a program may be detected by Warden and seen as a hack. no.....just no. from the reports it seems like a mistake on the part of Blizz. | ||

I remember on WC3 I had a program which allowed me to do things such as go to the next song, pick a song etc whilst in game by typing into the chat (i.e. dont need to alt tab and stuff). Someone is going to tell me technically such a program is considered hacking. | ||

There are two more cases that seemed interesting. One had added a 7-days trial TW-SC2 serial to his NA-SC2 account half an year ago. One added a full TW-SC2 liscense to his NA-SC2 account couple months ago. Both of them had their NA-SC2 account banned. The first guy of course can not check his TW-SC2 status since it was only a 7-day trial. The second guy however, can still log on to TW-SC2 with the account. No 3rd party program was used to log on to B.net. They both downloaded and installed TW-SC2 client in a separate folder. Is there anymore people who bounded more than two accounts from different regions to one e-mail address and got hit by the ban hammer?? | ||

So are you saying that a mass number of accounts got banned? It's confusing from the post, i'm guessing that english isn't your first language which is fine, but exactly how many people are we talking? if it's a few 10's or 100's then I don't think it's a big deal, other than sucking for the people who got banned obviously. But if it is like 1000's that's a much bigger deal. Also, were these bans simultaneous? Or have they been happening over the course of a few days? | ||

I don't see why only Taiwanese players would get banned because of this. Many people edits MPQs and have been doing it for a long time. In Eu, KR and US. | ||

Because i think I got a few friends in my Clan who also got banned for no reason.......and I'm pretty sure they are not using hacks, and some of them havent even been playing 1v1s. Some of them I played with for a long time, and they are in top8 masters for a few months already......I doubt they are stupid enough to hack on these kind of accounts. Also some people who got banned only play custom games like desert strike.....saying they are using drop hack is just.......lols. I think Blizz fucked up big time.... | ||

There was a similar thread on Reddit stating people who didn't hack got banned. Seems to have some truth to it. it seems to have affected more than TW. | ||

They downloaded TW client just to avoid these kind of programs that may potentially causes a ban though... Also, for the people asking how many people are getting banned and at what time period. It seemed to occur simultaneously, which happened this morning (july 13rd Taiwan time). It is hard to estimate the number of people getting banned, but I would guess in the ranges of hundreds (judging by the amount of posters on forums and bbs). However, many of these people are taking parts in clans (Master/Grand Master competitive play) and even progaming scene (Taiwanese proleague TeSL players). So the voices are much louder. Some people gets all their accounts banned (KR/TW/NA), some people only got one of the many accounts banned. It is a very bizarre situation right now.. Edit: I just heard another case. This guy transferred his TW account to NA server (which was available to TW players a while ago), and his "current" NA account also got hit by the ban hammer. I begin to suspect some database error in the TW server.... | ||

I cannot really remember a time when blizzard banned incorrectly, however there were some vac ban reversals on steam a while back. Just the nature with delayed bans, people thought they were safe and then boom, one day they've been banned. Best way to go about banning cheaters also. | ||
