So I was creating a new account and saw you have to check the "I'm Ok with the anticheating blizzard system in my computer". That was new from the last time I created one, and so I clicked on the link to read this:
World of Warcraft: Anti-Cheats agreement
Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., by and for itself and / or its licensees and affiliates, considered cheating by using "programs running in the background" a serious breach of the Terms of Use Agreement ("TOU") and / or Contract End User License Agreement ("EULA") that has agreed to see this ad, and that concern each and every one of Blizzard Entertainment's video games, such as, but not limited to, World of Warcraft ?, Starcraft ? II, Diablo ? III and its respective expansion ("Blizzard games"). A program "unauthorized" running in the background used as such is defined as any software running in the background, including without limitation, any judgment or modifications to Blizzard:
(I) enables or facilitates cheating of any type;
(Ii) allows users to modify or "hack" the UI Blizzard games, their environment, and / or experience of any kind not expressly permitted by Blizzard Entertainment in the EULA and / or the TOU;
(Iii) intercept, mine, or otherwise collects information from or through Blizzard games.
In an effort to combat the efforts of those individuals who wish to violate the EULA and / or the TOU, Blizzard Entertainment used a utility "anti-cheating" that runs as part of Blizzard games "This utility" anti-cheating "takes limited search:
(I) The Random Access Memory ("RAM") occupied by the games program to confirm that Blizzard Blizzard games has not been altered or "hacked" committing a breach of the Terms of Use;
(Ii) the "process" of Blizzard games to determine if they have attached program or computer code running in the background to process your games, and
(Iii) the Windows Process list to determine if there are any open program, confirmed as "hack" or cheating, breach of the Terms of Use Blizzard games.
The information obtained through this activity is transmitted to Blizzard, who used only to determine if the computer that the user is using the game to connect to Blizzard games contains some program running in the background, "hacks", or " traps "that violate the Terms of Use Agreement of Blizzard games, and is not used for any commercial purpose, and will never be sold, rented or transferred to third parties in any other way. Moreover, apart from the aforementioned detection activity, Blizzard does not use any other method of detection on the computer from which you connect to your games.
In the event that a Blizzard game detects an unauthorized program running in the background, Blizzard may in its sole discretion:
(A) Giving information to Blizzard Entertainment, including without limitation your account name, details of unauthorized programs running in the background detected, and the time and date that detected the program running in the background, and / or ;
(B) to exercise any or all of its rights under the TOU, with or without notice
Now , it seemed usual to me except for this:
(Iii) the Windows Process list to determine if there are any open program, confirmed as "hack" or cheating, breach of the Terms of Use Blizzard games.
If they are allowed to do this, how in hell could they miss 10+ DB.exe?
What are your thoughts on this? Am I overreacting?
