Sorry, I've just never seen one.

Look at the post above then. Also, the fact that you haven't see it does not mean it doesn't exist.

I've been on several forums and never seen one, it's a safe assumption to make in this situation.

Cheaters who think that they were "banned wrongfully" make me wanna slam my head against a desk.

Me too. I'm old fashion, i think cheaters should be dealt with harshly and then the problem of cheating would go away and then the rest of us would have to hear them ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about getting caught. I think chopping off a finger Saudia Arabian style for being caught cheating would sway a lot of people against it.

The average gamer is probably spending just as much (if not more) money on aimbots than games, which raises an interesting question: Have first person shooters become a scam where developers are selling hacks themselves?

At least Blizzard have far superior anti-cheat procedures than Valve.

Now let's see VALVe do it.

Could be, they can sell those hacks with ease anonymously on the dark web for personal profit without the company they work for knowing it, but it realy doesn't have to be, there are really a lot of talented people out there in the world that are capable of doing it without the need to have worked as a dev.

But we will never know who they are, all we know is that they're destroying the fun in online games for a lot of people!

I wonder. Game is expensive, but people still cheat. Einstein was right about infinity universe and another thing.

I'm shocked they banned people instead of just a temp ban like they always did with WoW.

Blizzard sees WoW as a investment because it's a mmorpg were you spend a lot of time in and money since a montly sub is/was required (you can now play for free if you buy ingame tokens with gold). For that reason they don't ban people permanently, but in my opinion they should also ban WoW cheaters like they do with Overwatch, some people will never learn but then Blizzard will also lose money, because those players will most probably never come back, now they come back when their ban expires so Blizzard is still able to sell expansions to them ;)

I think they are more strict with bans and hackers because they want it to make it big in comps?
All their updates lately have pretty much to do with comp.

Zero tolerance policy. I don't see the problem.

I always thought they should, too. One hacker can ruin the quality of the game for hundreds of people. But Blizz has always put money first.

True, you can also see this how they allow Multiboxers destroy whole zones ingame for all the other people.

For the people that don't know, multiboxing is a way to connect multiple accounts to 1 main account and while the player only plays with 1 character, all the other characters follow the exact same commands, when a multiboxer with a full raid of characters enters a zone and starts spamming spells and toys, the whole zone starts to lag and when you're playing on a PvP server, they can 1 shot anybody on sight, destroying the whole open world pvp element in the game.

But Blizzard allows multiboxers to do their thing because of the money, all these characters are accounts the onwner had to buy a game license for + all the expansions. They most probably don't pay for a sub since the introduction of the tokens because they can easily solo group content and grind a lot of gold that way.
