Aww no I got banned again....

you can do what game genie did to nintendo, put a lawsuit on blizz then when in court blizz has no chioice to show how they ban

 

I am an attorney and this is incredibly stupid.

Spyware isn't "illegal." Some states may have laws that deal with the repercussions of the spyware, such as data leaks or hacks, but no. Just no.

There are 2 acts in congress which makes utilizing the data illegal, but they banned you from a game, where they say not to use 3rd party hacks. Its completely reasonable for them to make attempts to ban people that break those rules.

But go ahead buddy, pay a retainer to some lawyer "to sue" blizzard. Btw, what are your damages? You cant pay for something anymore that you dont legally own?

 

I am not holding my breath. I believe most of the bans went out but there is still a chance they are looking into a few stragglers like myself. If not. Then yea. Someone at blizzard misplaced my file

 

I REALLY like this post, and I like you.

Keep on speaking the truth.

 

I'm not sure how i dodged this 1 but i did I didnt get banned I used HB this week including last night

 

I'll admit to being like congress with the health care bill.. I didn't read the that lengthy shit... er TOS or EULA.... is there verbage in there or is it speculation that we grant them permission to scan all process and files etc... on our PCs?

 

What mail told you guys that you were banned? Curious

 

They are watching you don't worry about that, first time since honor buddy was out that I have been susspended, they will catch up with you and they will cash in on all these new boosted accounts... will even make some subs look good for investors I dare say. I will keep botting until I lose all my accounts boost another up bot again, I don't even see the point of honor buddy closing down now they can change code as much as they like, blizzard is watching and they do it this time of year so everyone is ready for legion...

 

I don't think they are scanning all of the stuff on our computer. They gather information on things that interact with their program, so if you have a process on your system that is sending input to the game it collects data on it and sends it back to Blizz.

Someone can quote the exact TOU/EULA again and check, but the section regarding monitoring programs says something about programs that INTERACT with WoW. It is not a blanket statement about gathering data from your computer.

 

What the HB team should do is have a feature in the bot that allows people to be able to log in at their own free will, by all means disconnect the majority so they are blinded that the program may be safe enough after reactivation. But allow those of us who see through it all, one way I am going to be banned, so I would love for an option that will allow me to still log in to HB while others are feeling safe. To activate tripwire does not save accounts even when it is deactivated, in months from now many accounts will be susspended again what is the point? To try keep a custormer base? who cares that option would be good if it could be implemented for those of us willing to risk accounts in the first place. No adjusting any code in HB will protect anyone in any bot.

 

No, that's not how it works. No court can order a company to give up proprietary information like that. Go look into Trade Secret Law.

What a court can order is for a corporation to release information to a prosecuting entity. Information can then be sifted through, through a process called discovery. Data that is discovered through that process can be presented to a court, but may also be deemed to not be presented to the public due to said Trade Secret Law.

 

You're on base. Tripwire seems like a selling point to me, like vanity mirrors in a car. Not an autonomous bot detection scheme as much as oh... yeah a bunch of bans just happened... lets (manually) hit the "tripwire" (tripwire by the way denotes an automatic response to an external stimulation). It's a business so I understand why they do it. Makes plebs feel safe I'm sure. Not sure why it can't be turned off... not like it prevents suspensions before the fact, not bitching. Just stating the observable.

 

Nice work counselor.

 

you played "normally" 10 accts? I'm confused.

 

have to agree ftmp, if this was possible some people with large amounts of cash would have already sued blizz when they got banned for this information. I'd have done it back in 4.2 when I lost my original wow acct and all its goodies.

 

multibox yes.....but thanks to HB I got 50 level 100's

 

Are you stupid? What are your damages? How about many people dump hundreds of dollars into this game for boost server transfers and what not just to see it all go up in the wind that would be considered damages. And while yes blizz does own the rights to the game they dont own the rights for people to get what they paid for. And there is nothing in the tos that states if you pay money on in game services and then break the rules you loose all the money vested into your account. So in essence you loose your hard erned money for a hack that is prolly not even suppose to be used to run on a persons personal property. Id say there are reasons to go after blizz.

 

i wish blizzard would get sued over this. im sure they are doing many things illegal. the main thing for me that i want to sue them is the amount of time and money i put into wow.. all gone

 

just because i agree to something does not make it legal. this happens all the time... where the language in a contract is not legal and can be forced to change in court

 

my boyfriend got banned. He used honorbuddy on a different computer to mine his mine in the garrison just to check it out. He has been banned for six months.
