I think the game just detects if there are any known third party program and sends the information to Blizzard regardless whether you used it for single player or multiplayer.

Their stance is that as long as you cheated using a program that is not endorsed by Blizzard, you're already trespassing on to God forsaken lands hence you're liable to the ban hammer. *smash*

Might be too harsh but how would they know if you used it for single or multiplayer. Might as well just ban all that uses third party programs for the game. To them it is probably one less threat to their big player base the better.

I am supposed to be banned for using hacks in single player campaign. However, still able to log in.

Probably pass my account to my cousin, don't have time to play.

Well. If you received a mail from supposedly Blizzard stating that you hacked and will be banned unless you login to a site link that they posted in the mail, then that is just a phisher mail, which you should just ignore.

Didn't receive any e-mails from Blizzard.

I thought they gonna banned anybody who use trainers in SP.

Well, you're the lucky one that didn't get scanned.
They can't catch everyone.
Take for example fishing, there are so many fish in the sea, you can't catch all of it. tongue.gif

it would be DAMN FUNNY if someone proceeded to hack SP and shit after getting the assurance from that idiot, and blizzard banned him, and said guy went back to said idiot for a show down.

IAHGames sucks basically. sad.gif
Calling them at one point trying to fix my account due to region problem felt like calling TM for support...

Nope, I haven't gone to SSF4 gatherings for a long time or touch SSF4 for that matter.

Perhaps 2-3 months. Clearing other games in my backlog even for that also quite rare these days.

Mainly work and trying to focus more on lifting weights and long distance jogging.

Oh nice. smile.gif

That's a good route that you're taking.
Hope it works out great for you.

Lol, someone sounds like there's an option to reject the EULA and be able to play the game after that.

So I bought the game, then go home happily, install the game, suddenly see the EULA, what should I do? Convert the game into decoration?

This rules is just pure stupid.

I agree if they banned multiplayer cheat, but single player? huh?
PS: My argument is not about those got caught shouldn't be banned (after all, is in EULA, and if I don't agree I could always convert the game into room decoration, pretty expensive, but it stopped people from getting butthurt, so is a good deed), but is more to why has this rules at the first place?
*
Oh....
So it is now a room decoration for you?
Don't like the decoration?

You can always go here.

Other people would gladly buy it from you.

For me simple, trainer is faster than typing cheat codes and I don't need to remember them and I can enjoy the full story as quickly as possible.

It is still your own choice to break the rules.
Whether they saman you or not is their choice as well.

You can always write a letter and feign ignorance or inconvenience as your defence to Blizzard if they do ban you for using 3rd party software.

But sometimes I wonder...
Using trainers which could even contain trojans and viruses is harder than typing terribleterribledamage or whysoserious for 26 times at the beginning of the game...

kianweic,

Then please also choose to can't be bothered to response to this thread.
You are already typing more than the cheat code to tell us that you can't be bothered.
It is getting really ironic that you're still posting here...
Go do your workouts or your work instead...

hmm, high on drug, aren't you?

1) extra work for blizzard to specifically weed out SP cheater/hackers
>> they want to ban, it is their responsibility to be able to specify the SP hackers (for me, cheaters are those who use the built in cheats).
from your point of view, if someone get caught killing another whether self-defense or not, then can straight sentence to death? coz go to court is well, extra work.

2) there may not be a method for blizzard to seperate SP/MP cheater/hackers
>> they can keep track on all your HOLY ACHIEVEMENTS and not able to seperate SP hackers from MP's?

3) SP cheaters gaining achievements (please, for the love of god, read up the definition on WHAT is an achievement)
>> seriously, now I understand how almighty is the achievement for you. I apologize if I somehow look down at those achievements. Hail achievement. May achievements continue to blessed me with all the intelligence and strength to keep pawning noobs. Amen.

I am starting to believe that you are high on drugs...

1. They don't need to weed out. A rule is broken by using third party software. That's it basically. Your point on death sentence is irrelevant as it is a totally different law, which is out of topic here. Overruled.

2. Same as point 1. As for keeping track of achievements, it was built into the game. Why is that even difficult. It is working as intended.

3. I'm not sure why is achievements so important or why is it even debated in the first place, whether you gain something or not from using the third party program, you still broke a rule for using third party software.

Basically, all my points still points to the very same rule in the EULA. And to back up Quazacolt on the refund thingy.
Took this from WoW EULA.

THIS SOFTWARE IS LICENSED, NOT SOLD. BY INSTALLING, COPYING OR OTHERWISE USING THE GAME (DEFINED BELOW), YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO INSTALL, COPY OR USE THE GAME. IF YOU REJECT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER YOUR PURCHASE, YOU MAY CALL (800)757-7707 TO REQUEST A FULL REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE.


You're all just arguing that I should be able to break a rule because it is not severe.
If you're not happy go start a lawsuit against Blizzard or a protest against Blizzard for it.
If not you could always choose the simplest answer. Just don't play. It is that simple....

So nice of you to pass it and share it with your cousins and friends..... Oh wai.... its against Battle.Net's term and conditons to share account.

Yup and I can't give it away either.

Like I said.
Break it at your own risk.
Not like they are going to find out about you sharing.
You already got away with using trainers, maybe you'll continue to be lucky.

And certainly we can't be bothered to report as well.
Just do what you want. But I do implore you that if you do get banned, just don't cry like the topic starter.
