Diablo III - Mitteilung zu der Accountma?nahme

Hallo!

* * * PERMANENTE ACCOUNTSCHLIE?UNG * * *

Ein Nutzer des Accounts war k?rzlich in einen Vorfall verwickelt, der vom Blizzard-Kundendienst als f?r Diablo III unangemessen eingestuft wurde. Diese Entscheidung wurde nach einer gr?ndlichen Untersuchung gef?llt. Obschon wir aus Gr?nden des Datenschutzes nicht in der Lage sind, das Ergebnis unserer Untersuchung zu erl?utern, m?chten wir versichern, dass der Zwischenfall gr?ndlich gepr?ft wurde und wir angemessene Konsequenzen verh?ngt haben.

Getroffene Ma?nahme: Accountschlie?ung
Versto?: Unerlaubte Drittanbieter Programme (Third Party Software)

Ein Drittanbieter Programm ist eine Datei oder ein Programm, das nicht Teil der Clientsoftware von Diablo III ist, aber benutzt wird, um einen Vorteil im Spiel zu erlangen. Dies beinhaltet alle Programme, die Informationen aus dem Spiel beziehen, die einem normalen Spieler nicht zug?nglich sind, oder Spieldateien ver?ndern bzw. ?bertragen. Jede externe Anwendung, die in Verbindung mit Diablo III genutzt wird, kann einige unerw?nschte Nebeneffekte verursachen. Eine der m?glichen Folgen der Benutzung von Drittanbieter Programmen ist Instabilit?t des Spieles, die zu h?ufigen Spielabst?rzen f?hren kann. Externe Programme k?nnen au?erdem dazu benutzt werden Viren, Spyware und andere ungewollte Programme auf den Computer des Spielers zu ?bertragen. Drittanbieter Programme k?nnen zus?tzlich dazu benutzt werden, Informationen auf dem Computer des Spielers wie Account-, Passwort- und private Informationen, auszusp?hen.

Dieser Diablo-III-Account wurde aufgrund der im Rahmen einer Untersuchung aufgedeckten Regelverst??e gem?? unserer Nutzungsbestimmungen (Diablo III - Accountstrafen - Battle.net-Support) vom Kundendienst dauerhaft gesperrt. Jegliche offenen Gebote oder Auktionen auf dem Account wurden abgebrochen. Etwaige offene Gebote werden Ihrer urspr?nglich gew?hlten Zahlungsmethode gutgeschrieben. Es kann je nach Erreichbarkeit Ihres Geldinstituts 5-10 Tage dauern, bis die Summe ?berwiesen wurde. Gebote oder Auktionen, die vor Schlie?ung des Accounts abgeschlossen wurden, werden weder ersetzt noch aufgehoben.

Von diesem Zeitpunkt an werden dieser D3-Account und jegliche damit verkn?pften Helden oder Gegenst?nde nicht l?nger zur Verf?gung stehen. Ihre einzige M?glichkeit, Diablo III wieder spielen zu k?nnen, besteht im Kauf einer neuen Lizenz oder in dem Versuch, Ihren alten Account ?ber ein Berufungsverfahren wieder freischalten zu lassen. Aufgrund unserer Sorgf?ltigkeit bei den Untersuchungen sowie der Verh?ngung von Strafen in dieser Gr??enordnung ist eine Aufhebung der permanenten Accountsperre unwahrscheinlich, aber dennoch empfehlen wir, mit dem Kauf einer neuen Spiellizenz zu warten, bis der Berufungsvorgang abgeschlossen wurde. Falls Sie Ihrem Battle.net-Account eine neue Lizenz f?r Diablo III hinzuf?gen, wird diese den alten D3-Account ?berschreiben. Helden oder Gegenst?nde von Ihrem alten Account bleiben verlustig.

Jegliche Einspr?che oder Fragen im Bezug auf diese Ma?nahme k?nnen an unser Support-Team gerichtet werden. Ein Webticket k?nnen Sie unter folgender Adresse erstellen:
https://eu.battle.net/support/de/ticket/submit

Wir k?nnen verstehen, dass diese Richtlinien hart erscheinen k?nnen, doch bestehen sie zum Schutz des Spielerlebnisses jedes Spielers w?hrend seines gesamten Aufenthalts im Battle.net. Wir danken f?r Ihr Verst?ndnis.

Please guys, i dont want an omg, shit, sorry, or whatever. Bans comin, bans goin... But we have to consider why they ban and why to the hell they ban one machine and not the others. So iam 100% sure if they ban one account, they also check all other accounts on the same mac-adress and ban them too. IP-adresses are not checked and no problem at all.

Thx for this info

 

[JayK]

maybe i will again let my bots each run in it's own VM for other HW IDs and mac adresses. this can't really be coincidence that just one machine got it.

 

[sunicer]

wtf? how many more bots on other PCs?

 

[derico5]

We both running 7 machines atm

I lost few accounts last week because of the Zultan XP-Glitch. Thats not a problem. But this realy hurts now. Blizzard needs to sell more copies, because ppl jumping from board because of that stupid game. We have tons of clients switching back to D2 and are happy with it.

 

[chtpm]

I dont get it when people complain about bans when they are botting "24/7 what else".

Oh and also:
You got a german mail, so that means you are from germany. But germans cant use DB atm, so you used a ***** / ***

 

[flyn1337]

A third party program is any file or program that is used in addition to the game to gain an unfair advantage. These programs may increase movement speed or teleport heroes from one place to another beyond what is allowed by game design. It also includes any programs that obtain information from the game that is not normally available to the regular player or that transmit or modify any of the game files.

Cheat Programs ("Hacks")
We take action against accounts using hacks when a hero on the account is identified using a hack program. Hacks provide benefits normally not achievable in the game. Such benefits may include: increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls.

[derico5]

But hey, one good thing. Prices still raising to the sky and gold demands are crazy, check the sites. I told you guys, blizzard needs money and banning like hell in EU.

 

[tifreak]

Which VM Solution are the best ?

And yes they needs money In 1 month they have a new investor conference and i think they will lost hugh amount of WOW players last time they activate with the SOR campaign old players for short time.

We uses on a clean machine VMware workstation 8.0.2 with all our mule-accounts. So every mule is in a single VM and never connected to outside. No bans so far... Maybe this helps you guys. But remember. VM needs much power to calc a real window and a 3d-game inside.

 

[evilepyn]

botting like a boss

link is safe dont worry
is that you? LOL

i?ve heard about mules that often survived bans. Would be interesting to know if you had run your bots with each vm if they would be banned as well...

 

[derico5]

@evilepyn: Haha, i wish i would be
@dargonos: Not possible if u wish to run 20..50..100..or more bots But for a normal user with max 5 bots and semi-power i think VM is still the safes method.

 

[tifreak]

Sounds like a big test for me today How much VM?s ca run at the same time on my machine (i7 3930k with 32gb ram)

hope thats the solution to avoid big personal banwaves

 

[derico5]

Plz let us know your results Just tested a few few decend tests with botting inside VM, but didnt got the right time for right tests. Also have few new 3930k oc to 4.2 Ghz and 32gb ram.

Eight active on i5, 16GB, Win7 64bit. single HDD- VMworkstation each assigned 2 processors 1.5MB per.
Bottleneck's occur in memory and HDD I/O transfers before anything else.
Exempt the VM directory(s) from all anti virus checks.
Turn off/down all resource consuming features per VMWorkstation.
HDD (SSD) per VMworkstation, all on one HDD will work... as last resort.
Defrag degrag defrag defrag... each VM workstation.
Have Fun!

Quote Markn12:
While true blizzard doesn't ban by IP. If they did innocent people in dorms and apartments would be banned because a lot of them share the same IP with everyone who lives in the building. What people don't realize is blizzard gets your mac address when you're connected your modem, router, network card etc. VM does help in this regard as it creates its own network card and its own mac address so it gives the impression that its not all from the same PC.

How do you run 8 on an i5? My i5-2500 is at 100% cpu with 3VM's (1 bot per VM).
I have limited foreground and background fps to 50fps in diablo. Unlimited i can only run 1 bot.
