Lawsuit vs Blizzard for preventing me to play (bot)?

Welcome to America. If you sue them and win I will be following right behind whilst claiming that my IQ is too low to play, but watching a bot do it for me is amusing.

My lawyer will argue three points.
1.) Intellectually inferior specimen are human.
2.) All humans want to be entertained.
3.) This human (the re-re in question = me) is incapable of entertaining himself. Thus his RMAH-money making bot is essential and therefore must be coupled with the game for his (his=myself and my banks') simple minded amusement.

ONLY IN AMERICA and we just might walk away millionaires.

Americas legal system went through the botting thing. Glider clearly went well. I don't know about you, but if you went to someone and cried that they stopped you from essentially cheating at their game (unfair advantage or w/e) they wouldn't take you seriously. Their EULA would destroy you.

EULAs mean shit they're not worth the paper blizzard isn't printing it on. If the EULA discriminates against a certain time of person say a blind person it is violating the law and therefor blizzard could be sued for it. We're not saying you would win, but we're saying you can sue because you can sue for anything.
 
Why do people keep implying that "this" is American? Clearly, this company is founded in Germany; not either of the Americas.

To add to the OP, yes... you "can" sue them. Sure, let's take it one step further with a class-action lawsuit. ;)

You sure about that? America's contract law developed over the course of centuries. EULAs are part of it. I wouldn't be so quick to say it's worthless.

Except there is no civil right or anything remotely close to it at issue. Also, to bring a lawsuit, you need a cause of action. Whether or not American society is a litigious one is another matter.
 
If Korea can file class action law suit of 400,000 including cafe owners... anyone can.


ADA provided Demonbuddy can be demonstrated as being the solution - for a disability - playing Diablo III.

Only because Blizzard is stating something in their EULA/TOS/Website, doesn't make it right - can be challenged. Further these TOS/EULA are designed to be fast skipped and there are many things which justify the usage of bots.

On the bottom line nobody should have the right to force me to a certain play style, even if i'm not limited in my abilities. For instance somebody with just 1 hand can only play this game with the help of bots. So it's not just that easy. Also the topic is around since ages and there are no solutions.

Except Blizzard had a perfectly legitimate reason for banning bots. And even though most of us don't read the EULA's, the ban on bots is well within the average player's reasonable expectations.

Unless, of course, you're lying to yourself that you didn't see the ban coming. If that's the case, you have bigger problems to worry about, none of which have much to do with fantasizing about legal causes of action you can pull out of your other end.
 
all you people who think their EULA would do anything against a consumer are dead wrong, the only reason its even in court is because glider and other bot makers profited from it. If you notice no free bot has ever been taken to court :) Eulas mean jack shit to consumers.

This is so true it's scary. You know, I actually tried to read the EULA/TOS that prompted after a patch. I was reading for about 2 minutes and it TIMED OUT!!! The EULA/TOS window closed and it said connection to server lost.

So when you actually try to read the 60+ page piece of crap, they just kick you off! No one was ever meant to read it. Total load of shit.

Within the first couple of pages in one of them it specifically says no automation (bot) the really issue those is that there is doubt whether the TOS/EULA are valid in Germany as they did not say that you had to have internet to play and therefore people were misinformed/tricked. It is possible that the EULA/TOS are no valid on that basis alone and if so then there are no issues between it and DB. So to be honest no real ruling can be made based on this until the EULA/TOS situation is settled.

Originally the TOS/EULA states that there was in fact an OFFLINE mode that was changed AFTER initial installation and purchasing and then it was removed. Really comes down to how the courts want to rule on this but it would seem to me that since Blizzard did not live up to their own TOS/EULA at launch then they cannot force anyone to follow what they failed to deliver. If it does turn out that the TOS/EULA are not valid then what DB is doing is offering a service that does not directly help users break that issue and are really the subject of wrongful incrimination and could counter sue for any loss from their downtime due to blizzards inept-ness.
 
I like this thread, gives you food for thought and it's quite funny if you think about it. I don't study law or anything, but from what I hear in America you can pretty much sue anyone for just about anything. A friend of mine went over there for an internship in a hospital. He actually said that if he saw a man dying on the street it's best not to resuscitate him. Because if you do so, and break his ribs in the process, he might sue you for that. I can only laugh at actions like these.
