      In the new ToS we all accepted, that came out a few days earlier, gave blizz permission to scan our computers.

      so we're all fucked basically

      Bliz has been scanning its proprietary software for awhile. It's their right. It isn't just in the new ToS, it's been that way. They maintain the right to scan the mem processes used within WoW...

      It isn't a privacy issue since we all agreed to it. The only issue is we weren't careful and got caught. Monday I'm getting a game key and starting my toons over. At least Bliz is letting me keep the shit I earned honestly lol.

      When were these new terms put out? I honestly cannot remember accepting any new terms of service recently.

      They tried scanning my folders the other day but I bypassed scanner quite easily, I know this was an attempt to find honor buddy on my system, then sure enough everyone is now banned... I am still waiting to be banned however but I seen those warning signs and killed everything there and then. They can scan things prior but this was really out of the ordinary. They mini patched, I went from 32 bit to 64 bit, when you start seeing random shit like that you know something is up lol Authenicator was bugged... All attempts to monitor me no doubt.

      Exactly. And it's not as simple as saying, "then don't play anymore" when terms change in the middle of pre-paid subscriptions.

      If we didn't agree, would they give the money back? The answer is a sure hell no!
