If they did "Catch me." then clearly they'd probably state it.
My friend's lost two cd-keys, each shortly after he started performing bannable offenses. One looked like a generic cannot-connect message, the other wasn't much better.
And even more so, I'm not one of those idiots that think they're better then other SC players just because they can do a few hacks in a game.
Except by monitoring peoples' actions individually, how is Blizzard to know that?
Besides. If you find hackers are bad then you really shouldn't associate to half of Starcrafts Roleplayers, or more like any of them which don't suck entirely at doing so.
I find all of them laughable in the first place. As for, "if you find hackers are bad", who's said that? What's been pointed out is that they're against the EULA, and therefore it should not be surprising when Blizzard's actions reflect this.
Besides, even mods can be considered a third party program. The only difference is that SC doesn't mind them. I suppose the reason in particular is because they don't grant the specific player any cheap advantages.
For which reason they were originally banned from SEN, so I've heard.
I doubt there's any significant number of people that aren't aware of this. However, as you said, mods are general. They can't be used to annoy other players, except by doing things that would normally be quite possible ( i.e., suddenly leaving the game ) .
and how some practically sent SC back.
What is the relevance of Blizzard's mistakes?
And Kellimus, you probably don't know anything of hacks.
Quite a broad and, frankly, baseless guess, that.
Most of SEN, so far as I know, is aware that the exploits can be used in non-malevolent manner, for the sake of testing maps, finding ways to safeguard maps against them, when dicking around with friends, etc.
And is it me or did the entire tone of your sentence label me as a monster?
And is it me or did the entire tone of your posts imply that you use these programs?
And also in consideration, maybe someone should give a little talk to Blizzard about Plagiarism.
"Plagiarism"? Tell me, where did Blizzard state that the "copied" features are their ideas? Because until they do, stfu.
Furthermore, they've every right, moral and legal, to
improve their own program in such a way as to eliminate some of the appeal of
illegal software, which is
potentially dangerous for users ( my friend got about eight Diablo II accounts from someone who had succesfully distributed a keylogging, fake-maphack ) , and which
can be used by some to ruin other peoples' games.
None.
