Something that creates an overlay can be abused, and while it sometimes isn't, having to evaluate each case would make catching people who do abuse it infinitely harder for Blizzard.
I just wish Blizzard would communicate better what is and isn't allowed and then enforce it.
Like the MPQ editing. It's against the TOS but Blizzard doesn't seem to care. I'd prefer it if Blizzard acted on it, because people will keep stretching the limits of what they can and can't do.
I don't see how people are confused as to what is allowed on Battle.net. Blizzard clearly states that ANYTHING that modifies the game is illegal and is bannable. Just because they haven't banned you for something you did does not make it okay.
I just don't understand how people want certain things allowed, but still want hackers banned. Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. There will always be false-positives and I'm absolutely okay with it.
WFT you comppletely ok with people being baned for not hacking? .

Also TOS mean nothing hahaha.
Sure, go ahead and spend money suing Blizzard over a $50 game. I will be eagerly waiting the results in two years.

I don't see how people are not okay with this, but okay with airport security. This move probably banned a bunch of maphacks in Starcraft 2, while banning a few "innocent" people (who claim they were only using RaidCall). Airport security routinely harass millions of people every day in hopes of finding ONE OR TWO terrorists a day. People on TL are truly ridiculous, arguing for "freedom" over this, while ignoring everything else going on in the world.

You heard it here first folks, catching terrorists and map hackers is of equal importance.

Yes let’s give up all our freedom. All hail dictator Blizzard! They’ll protect up from all the hackers, and anyone that gets caught in the cross fire can shut the fuck up!
EDIT: Also basically ever caster used for sort of overlay program to cover the replay length. I wonder if they'll be any 'high profile' banings?
EDIT2: first sentence was unnecessary and over the top
You get banned for using a 3rd party program even though when you agree to the blizzard EULA it says not to use 3rd party program and you complain about it? Isn't this your own dumb fault?
Ouch, that sucks. My guess is that it's just a false-positive, and not that Blizzard decided to "draw the line" and include harmless overlays like these. I'd e-mail them and tell them what happened, maybe they'll do something about it.
Obviously the problem is with Raidcall's overlay giving off false positives. If you run overlays or anything that interferes with the game in any way you run the risk of this happening, which you should've been aware of from the start. I've always disabled overlays for this reason. They're not very useful anyway.
Is it not pretty obvious that you should not be using overlays tho? I mean an overlay could be something innocent, like a playlist for Mp3's, or it could be a cheat such as a maphack or production tab.
If i was designing Warden i would make it react to any type of overlay over the game.
And as mentioned before the same issue has popped up with overlays in the past with other cheatdetectors, hence why i never use them while gaming.
