I have never read the agreements until today, and just found out that we may be at risk here, because it will send out detail if we are using another 3rd party program. Then they will watch over us! Just would like to know what you guys think will happen in the near future to us botters.

Whoa bud you sound to confident in that post. Blizzard can do what they when they want with their game, although it is in fact "THEIR" game. Now saying if what they do is legal or illegal is no where near what they can and want to do. So in "REALITY" anything is possible and able. Dont say nothing will not happen unless you are some super human who can see the future then sir you are wrong. Would it be wise for blizz to do this? No but can they? yes. If blizz did do this i bet they are not the first corporation to break laws, Hell most do it anyway but just like the old saying says its not Illegal until caught! ;).

Also quantum physics tells us everything will happen at least once.

But no its not likely as blizz would lose their asses and the game probably, but then you got to prove it and go to court. Cost big $$$. Blizz has big money.

In tbc and vanilla they scanned your computer; it is against the law and they won't do it again(source: I don't know!).
I think if someone complained they would show what their limited scan actually means, probably nothing.
And there's a thread somewhere around here.. ah, yes. Here.
 
Yea i remember they did, but of course they probably wouldnt anymore i mean it is a law but to say they never would or couldnt is wrong. Companies do shady stuff and we see it in news headlines daily usually.

Thats like saying hey that dude will never kill no one because they are laws that will take your life away if you do, but whats odd is even though its the worst punishment(to most people) in the world, people still do it. So saying that blizzard wouldnt do something of a lesser crime and lesser consequence is not entirely correct, but i will say Code is correct saying that most likey they will not, but it is possible that they could :P

Also what makes it more strange is they are actually updating the lingo about it, so it just draws you to conclusion that it is possible.

Yea, online game companys. Ever day.
 
look, when they update their software to do so, then we will tell you, as of now there's nothing in their clients that allows that kind of access.
 
What this boils down to is an invasion of privacy and empty threats. Claiming you are going to do something and actually doing it are two dfferent things. Blizz is based in the US, the US has laws against invasion of privacy which would supercede any TOS you and 12 million other people have agreed to. Blizz scanning one computer and it being the wong computer with the wrong information on it and they will be neck deep in government red tape and class action lawsuits. Do you really think they are going to risk that over a few botters who are making them money?

Here is some material to read
No security reprieve from Blizzard's Warden - Computerworld
The Warden is not new in concept or execution. In response to widespread cheating on multiplayer online games, Blizzard Entertainment developed routines for detecting game cheats, eventually coalescing them into a distinct software component known as the Warden. The Warden is included with WoW, Diablo II and other Blizzard games.

Old information
 
This same retarded post pops up every patch. This text has been in here since the EULA was first released. This is nothing new, and every EULA for an online game contains similar words. It doesn't mean shit.

Here's a fact, you are violating several laws in the US alone by browsing these forums and every site on the internet. Does this mean anything? No.

EVERY...FUCKING...PATCH!

it might change, but theres nothing in the software that says that the client is doing or is capable of doing anything different from the last patch to this new one.
 
Honestly.. You people are worried about the honorbuddy client being detected by warden, a program that has the functionally of bull with tit... But you go bot HOL for 24 hours straight even know there are 200+ bots doing the same thing?

That's when you will have your account banned. doing shit like that....

Yea, because the entire HB community bots 24 hours straight in Halls of Lightning.
Except you?
 
That is in reference to Warden.
Warden scans your memory.
DB says ,,l, to warden.
 
Actually the majority of the Bots that were running HOL was an asian bot, not HB.

You've seen all of the spy movies where a television feed is utilized to make it seem like nothing is going on while the place is actually being robbed. Well, that's how things work with Honorbuddy and Blizzard's warden. Warden only sees what Honorbuddy wants it to see, which is a nice clean computer playing WoW. :-) Don't worry! Be happy! :-)
 
The text in the agreement is to make sure you can't sue blizzard for reading the game files off your hard disk, or stuff like that. They also send hardware specs and OS statistics once in a while. (What OS you use, x86 or x64, etc) They'll never do anything with personal info, and Warden is highly unlikely to be stepping out of WoW's memory space. (The only exception is the "startup" scan WoW does for blatantly obvious hacks like speedhacks that alter your system time, CE, etc)

Closing this thread. Just another patch, with a new TOU. Get over it.
