It became a known fact through a streamer, that not many works on Diablo 3. They were talking about 1-3 persons at some point was working on it.
So hence my question if anyone actually is.
That is discrimination under common law system, where the victim is deemed unguilty and plaintiff need to provide evidence on guilt. It doesnt matter how serial offender it is, a clean account is clean account, unless you can caught that account red handed. Blizzard can not and will not allow themselves in an possible discriminating accusations.
Serial offenders can be tagged for sensitive alerts. Thats another story.
Which is something Blizzard doesn’t have to care about.
They already apply this to forums afaik. Trying to circumvent a forum ban by using another account can get you banned.
Indeed. 1 cheater banned is better than nothing. It does not need to be all or nothing.

A company can refuse to provide a service or sell a product to a customer as long as that refusal does not violate the law.
If one cheats at cards, a Las Vegas Casino can legally ban you from their property.

You dont. They do. When Blizzard is sued in court, you are gonna pay their fines? Highly doubt it.
Real person the person is the offender. In online games, the entity is the account, not the account holder. US serial botters were banned life time. In AU we have botted accounts reinstated and compensations made for banning player accounts. Different country different laws.
They wouldnt be sued. Or they probably would, but a judge would laugh at it and it would never get to court.
Situational…
Do you have proof that this ever happened in relation to a Blizzard game in AU?
I am not talking about an account that was falsely banned.
We had this conversation years ago. You should know already.

I recall vaguely a conversation. My recollection was that you provided no proof. This seems far clearer in your mind than mine.
Please refresh my memory of your proof.

Can you explain why do we need to prove to you? If there are any issues. Proof goes directly to Blizzard.
If you are interested, you can research in our precedent case archives.
You do not need to prove anything to me.
I know that under common law systems, a private business can legally decide not to provide a service or sell a product as long as it does not violate the law in doing so.
Cheaters are not a protected class in legal terms.
Now, I recall that a forum poster claimed that their lawyer looked a bunch of stuff up but never were able to provide specifics. Is my recollection correct that was you or was that a different forum poster?

That is correct. And he charges for what he provides as all paid lawyers do.
I am not going to pay for a forum post.
Depends what is classified as cheating and lets not going down that rabbit hole. We resides in different countries and situations are vast different. Dont trying to convince each other.
Given the fact that you speak of precedent cases (and never provided any examples) and having a lawyer research this topic, the whole thing is very odd to me.
I stand by what I said. I personally believe that Blizzard should permsnently ban serial D3 cheaters.

Its a topic brought up on random chat since we are both Blizzard customers. He mentioned there are cases and when asked which ones, he demands fees.
No problem and I am opposite.
Do be careful, evidence is hard to come by with that person and he will go onto report you if everything else fails
TBH if I was the only one playing my experience would pretty much be the same as it is now, so that wouldn’t bother me in the slightest.

Check Nintendo Switch 
Agreed, we need more frequent enforcement.
I am tired of seeing cheaters on the boards regardless of a paragon cap.
There are so many cheats that should be addressed, not just bots.
Yet there they are again on the boards, even right now. How about addressing how they obtain these cheap used accounts and rename them over and over to the same name. Its almost like a taunt to the community and hacks team.

I’m on Playstation. Out of curiosity, is there a website where I could check or do I need the Switch version to do so?
How would they do that though? They ban the game license. Not the account. If they ban the account they ban access to all games on that account. That wouldnt be beneficial for blizzard at all.
For example the person got WoW subscription and plays like d4 and buys comsetics there. Just because someone cheated in d3 that doesnt mean they cheated in wow.
Also if they start banning accounts ppl would just make new battlenet accs as its free anyway.
