Yes, we must have missread the method used to identify enemies of this virtual state. Check the LULA, where this must clearly be written; or clearly be illegal.

I'm sure they do more than a simple he-said/she-said when banning people for cheating.

Will Blizzard continue to debit peoples accounts during the first ban? Only idiots pay monthly subscriptions to play games that they have bought. If I had to pay a monthly subscription for all the games my family and I play then I couldn't afford the mortgage. Only sad people subscribe to this this model of game playing and I have no sympathy for them.

If you want to get into what Blizzard does to people, forget the $20 a month. Blizzard games make people into fat lumps of semi-human filth that don't have any friends (at least not in real life). From what I have seen, WOW is worse for a persons health than smoking.

This is cool. I mean if you want to cheat on a game do so when you are offline, but don't do it while you're online. The cheater doesn't get any better and the experience is taken away from the players.

To Frogfart and Killerbug.
Battle.net games do NOT require a monthly subscription fee.
They have always been free to play, and still are. Complaining about a monthly fee, when one doesn't even exist in the first place...

MMO success is never to ban in increments, but in mass. every MMO that has 1 million+ players do this
