I have two accounts banned and for what I could tell blizzard basically installed a virus in our computers last patch. This last patch im sure breaks privacy laws set forth by the software liscensing board. They basically hacked our computers.

My video card and board has been locking up like mad since this last patch. I have multiple blocks from firewall invasion all of them from blizzard files. OK blizzard game on. Your game is bugged and still after how many years out its still bugged what makes you think you can develop a software to police all of our computers ?

AOC is sounding pretty good about right now. I have a ten year old son that plays WOW , X-BoX, playstation and uses his computer to look up cheat codes on his computer. They do have WOW information for hacks but I have admin over his computer he cant install crap without me .

So from what I can see I got banned for my son going to a hacks website. What gives you the right ! Those guide lines are not in the TOS so you need to check yourself. On the 100% no false positives do you think anyone that does get it back will actually come here to talk about it ? NO

No, they weren't.

What beats me is why a GM hasn't stepped into this thread.


Sometimes we miss threads. :) Not to mention everyone has addressed the issue fairly well.

Q u o t e:

Here is a great example legal macro

/target demon
/cast arcane missles(rank 13)
/cast arcane missles(rank 13)
/cast arcane missles(rank 13)


If your system is adding pauses for the cast times, I'm afraid that is not an example of a legal macro but an example of one that violates our Terms of Use.

We allow certain keyboards that have the ability to perform more complicated actions but we have always stated that you should not be using the keyboards special functions in such a way.

It's ok. So do I. It's not illegal. =)


I'm running a clean system at the moment but I have played with that addon myself and it is perfectly fine.
