Ah, so there are also cheats of the game itself which will block achievements.
Well then I see no reason at all for not being banned when trying to bypass this. Honestly. Still seems a bit carebear... I mean, is this all really important to gaming? =.= I say nay. But it's their game and I must say they make good, if not at least popular, games.
Go play Gothic 3 or Guild 2 and see what kinds of developers should not be supported.

Cheating in single player does not equal cheating in multiplayer. I don't play the game, but I do believe that they should have different punishments.
Much the same way that the legal system has different punishments for speeding in different community zones, or depending on how much traffic is on the road.

I totally agree with them, it's the damn way it should be.
But besides that, you may as well be saying let's all boycott cigarettes!
And it'd be a great idea, the little fuckers are designed to kill you, everybody knows it, they even advertise it, but everybody who uses'em in the first place is too addicted to say "Screw this!"
Blizzard's already got too many people hooked.

Skimming through that article I saw a few things.
1. They have a quote from a Blizzard press release warning that cheating in any form of the game will result in a ban
2. The have giant text saying ?The company already had our money so they didn?t care about our accounts.? out of context. In the article the user who got banned for cheating said that, about a different experience with a different game.
3. They have a person from the cheat developing website question the legality of the action. No outside sources or anything, just a biased article using out of context quotes from the cheater.
Cheaters broke the EULA, Blizzard enforced it. Nothing surprising, nothing absurd.
If I wanted to make a meth lab in my kitchen, but I didn't intend to sell or give any away to anyone should the cops just leave me alone?

I have to agree with you. Banning cheaters in multiplayer is obviously a very good thing. Single Player on the other hand does not effect anyone except that one person so fucking with that is no good reason to basically make someone's 60 dollar purchase worthless.
People getting punished for cheating?Sinspiration said:
It's nice to see the banhammer fly on this one.
I would be mad atyou for dissing blizzard if I cold stop staring at your avatar. Not really but oooooo he opens his mouth then closes it then.....katsumoto03 said:
OT: Who cares? Don't exploit the game while conected to the internet or obviously you'll be banned. It's common sense and these ppeople are idiots for being found out
The only difference between cheating offline and cheating online is user discretion, not an enormous software hurdle. In order for Blizzard to distinguish if a player cheated online only, offline only, or both, they would need to examine all of that players games on a per game basis. It is much more efficient to ban at the first sign of any ban, which they are allowed to do: the EULA that all players agree to says that if they cheat in any form, they can be banned from Starcraft 2, or from all Battle.net features.Shock and Awe said:
No, I'm not going to stop supporting Blizzard. I get sick and tired of people who break the rules and then blame the authority figures when they get punished for it. It's not like you weren't warned guys! Besides, correct me if I'm wrong, but these cheat applications don't just apply to the Single Player Campaign or AI skirmishes.
Sorry, but when it's in the EULA you're just out of luck. I'm sure they're not about to bend on that, even if it's just single player.
The only point where I was considering jumping off was when they tried the whole "Yeah, we're gonna display your real name on the forums now" crap. Thank god they reversed direction on that one.

Gee, perhaps you shouldn't download a program from a source outside Blizz that changes the game mechanics to give you an advantage, even if it's just to learn against an AI. I thought this was about Blizz banning people for using cheat codes like the ones in WC3, but anyone getting upset about having their account suspended for adding a trainer program needs to get a life and learn to play the old fashioned way: Trial and Error
To quote a box: Whoa, that's an important piece of information man.ProfessorLayton said:
Also, a lot of people don't see to get why people cheat in SP. Perhaps they were farming achieves (I fucking doubt it, who gives a shit about gamerscores or whatever?) but the REAL fun of cheating is bending the software and being able to see things you never would have been able to. I agree that Multiplayer cheating is always bad sportsmanship though.
And in response to anti-boycotters, don't defeat yourselves yo. You really really really do have the power to vote with your dollar. I understand why the article brought up doesn't mean enough on it's own to convince most, but Blizzard has been a little mean to its paying customers lately and when they're owned by Activision, pretty much the ONLY way they'll listen is to talk money to them. No need to campaign for Blizzard's destruction, but just let them know we're a little cross about some of their behaviour.
Word!
