Update: Diablo 3 Cheater Purge Imminent

Fret not. Under UK (and European law in general) whenever the EULA contradicts consumer rights, consumer rights take precedence. They can say whatever they want in the EULA, the law trumps it.Lunncal said:
As a matter of fact, in Spain, the fact that the EULA is introduced after money has already exchanged hands renders it null and void. Both parties still have to comply to several agreed terms, but it holds no legal sway in case of litigium.
Kyaahahahaha kero!
so as entirely suspected, all their talk of it improving security fell to nothing, and they're still having to purge the "offenders"
Hey blizzard, guess what? BETRAYL! you Betrayed your primarily offline fanbase as well as those in shaky internet areas, and like anyone could guess, your primary reason was pretty much an outright lie. we aren't ALL that stupid, y'know.
Remember the offline single player component of your other Diablo games? the one that sat alongside your Bnet Characters you could play on closed?
if you had simply applied that, you'd look a LOT more reasonable right now. not to mention you'd probably have more people willing to play if you just owned up to the fact you don't really have the right to tell us the game can be played alone or not. you would have gotten even more initial sales as well, even IF you couldn't use the same characters.
"people in our online section are hacking the game? they are banned from going online!"
See, done! not that it matters, they are to busy counting their money from the 200 dollar some items on the RMAH...
... ok, serious face time. I was screaming about this game a long time ago, and it WOULD be cathartic for me to see this, but I had a working eye and a brain then and I still do now. Blizzard has no hope of ever taming cheaters. you can't appease them, theyll do what they want. so why create a system that disenfranchises other members of your player base who have been loyal to you? why would you tell them the way they experienced your games doesn't even matter.
That potential years of playing their games don't matter, because it wasn't the way they expected. they had no right to treat the Diablo Fanbase that way. I argue we have the right to call them out on this, because if we don't reprimand them even a little, a lot less gets done, for both sides. the primary concern here is that the things AROUND the game are bad. im not at liberty to say the game itself actually is.
I also still argue, as i did back then, that this is going to speed up the slope we've been on. you know what? blizzard games in general have a good polish. where they mess up is in technical things, like servers and other, outside issues. the core gameplay is hardly EVER entirely dislikable.
Im still shuddering to think of other companies that will try to follow suit in diablo III's step with this terrible "always online for the sake of stopping cheaters". sorry, been playing MMO's for well over half my life, and it being online didn't stop a soul. we know that. id have given you more credit if you had just been honest.
that you wanted to keep everyone online to ensure people would view your RMAH. at least if you had admitted it we could just call you money grubbing scumbags. now that your intention has failed a month in, your essentially leaving us no choice to think of you as Money grubbing scumbags who also insulted a percentage of your own player base, and couldn't even be honest about it. its either that or assume that you haven't been paying attention to World of Warcraft aside from its dollar signs all these years and that your incredibly stupid/ Naieve to think this would work.
And this is the company that has fewer mechanical mess ups then most. ugh... I honestly wish i was at the meetings for this game so i could understand what was going through their heads. if you stop and think about it it just... just... mystifies me.
This may be my longest rambling yet, so im just going to stop here. *shuffles out*
