Recent Bans Poll

[Imortel]

Actually everything has to do with anything. Even you not buying something at one moment in time or buying it afterward has something to do with a ban or a no ban.

Although this might be considered flaming or bad language for me, here is my view on the whole botting and bans business.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE USERS!

Oh it didn't sound bad?
Here is the explaining:
In the "old days" botters were mostly computer geeks that actually knew how the bot ran and kept it private. It took alot of knowledge and skill to make a bot and use it nicely.
Now, with bots becoming more and more popular and "EASY TO USE" developers have made their bots public and almost everyone can get a bot for a rather small fee.
...and here comes the nasty part.
Everyone includes the smart guys, the medium guys and the stupid guys(oh bad language...I am sorry). While 99% of the time smart and medium guys don't get banned and actually can make use of the bot, the stupid guys always complain and usually they are the ones that get banned.

Everything on this forum is against Blizzard and once you clicked "Start Botting" you can almost kiss your account goodbye. It will happen sooner or later.
What the devs are doing is postponing the inevitable(lets hope it will never come).
The bot is undetected(client anti-***** wise) but the users do stuff that is stupid and gets detected via server side fail-safes.

There should be a huge disclaimer that warns people about this but I am sure almost noone will actually read it.

At this time I am running 2 HBs in Europe and I have 6 farmers that I run for 12-16 hours a day. No bans for the past few years. Why? Cuz I actually think for myself and I am cautious when I do stuff or I am just really really lucky!

HB and GB are two incredible tools with a shitload of power embedded in them. With great power comes great responsibility! I think users have forgot that...maybe they shouldn't have.

so here is the email in regards to appealing their decision:

Hello Kickazz of the Buddy Forums,

Thank you for your follow-up email regarding the account WoW1. This account was issued a 72-hour suspension after evidence was produced indicating one or more characters on the account were found to be using an unauthorized che at program. These programs provide character benefits that are not achievable in the World of Warcraft through normal means. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, character automation (also known as "botting"), increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries. These types of programs offer an unfair advantage over other players and supersede the intended limits of the game.

As a result of this determination and the harmful nature of unauthorized programs on the game environment, the action taken against this account will not be reversed. Please understand that we do not reach this decision lightly. This action has been taken in accordance with our Terms of Use (Blizzard Entertainment: World of Warcraft Terms of Use).

In addition, you are responsible for any unauthorized che at software found to be running in conjunction with World of Warcraft, regardless of the location and ownership of the computer used to log into the service. Please remember to keep your login information confidential. Any account that is registered to your name may not be shared with anyone except for one minor of whom you are a parent or guardian. The security of your account rests with you.

As a reminder, only the Account Administration department can address disputes or questions about this account action. To learn more about how we are able to assist you, please visit us at Blizzard Support. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope we have addressed any concerns you may have had. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance to you.

You naysayers and haters can say what you want. Call me a conspiracy theorist, call me a rabble-rouser, but I think this poll conclusively shows that an astonishing percentage of forum members like cheese.

This is not something that we can simply ignore.

This is so true! I for one LOVE cheese, the stronger the better. I could MURDER a Rouchefort right about now!

I know it is wrong...

STILTON IS THE KING OF CHEESES!

Best cheese in the world.
