Oh please, you were the one ducking you own damned thread after given the evidence you asked for. It was posted here and you still refuse to even acknowledge it. It also matters nit if people duslike it or not, Blizzard allows it. So once again you are wrong on all points.
I too am fine with the EULA of any company. I just wish that they would adhere to their own rules. One thing that grinds my gears (and I’m sure others too) is when an entity moves the goalposts, making it difficult to stay within the scope without risk of punishment.
This is called an “appeal to authority” fallacy, my friend.
ofc, its ridiculous tedious otherwise…but blizzard does have a 1 key 1 action thingy…as tedious as it is, its still more loot end of day.
I can see both sides. Just because something is acceptable in a company’s EULA doesn’t redefine the term “cheat”. It very well could be defined as cheating but Blizzard has made it clear that they won’t do anything about it.
Remember what I said earlier about it being legal to stand on someone’s sidewalk and photograph their children in their lawn? There isn’t a sane person out there who won’t agree that’s creepy to do. However, by law, it’s legal.
I played an MMO older than WoW and some players managed to kill an “unkillable” boss by glitching it so that it gets stuck in terrain. Did they cheat? Technically yes. However, the GM called it “clever use of mechanics”.
It depends on what defining criteria you’re going by. I know “lolwikipedia” but this was the first thing that came up on a google search.
Cheating in video games involves a player using various methods to create an advantage beyond normal Gameplay), usually in order to make the game easier.
So by that definition alone, I would say yes, it is cheating. However, it’s not against the rules.
Is using a big screen to see D3 better cheating? I will sometimes play D3 using my PC connectec to an 82" TV rather than a 15" laptop.
Does using a bigger screen allow you to see more than someone with a smaller screen? No, you see the exact same content, regardless of screen size or resolution selection.
Actually, you can see more. There were things in D3 that are so small on a 15" screen that they were indiscernible. On an 82" they were clear.
Edited because my stalker keeps quoting this out of context without reading the entire discussion or the ones that came just prior which explained this.
On my bigger TV, I definitely can see more.
As a videophile and expert on display technology, I hate to say it, but that’s not an equipment issue, that’s an issue with your eyes.
There is nothing you can see on a bigger screen that you cannot on a smaller screen on a game that displays the same canvas regardless of resolution. On Diablo 2, that’s a different story. Diablo 2 has 2 resolution settings. One shows more than the other.
Now, a better question you could have asked would be “If I play on a screen at 240hz while someone else plays on a screen at 60hz, am I cheating, do you think?”
So what is your hz answer? How about wide screens versus ultrawide screens?
Are people with high speed internet connections cheating in D3?
It’s called Blizzard doesn’t care about that since it’s been looked down upon by a majority of players since ever and yet it’s still allowed.
For Hz reasons, unfortunately not. People do that for input latency and there are other factors at play for latency. For ultrawide, does the game support that resolution? Then no, because it’s a supported resolution.
That’s still an appeal to authority. Regardless, I maintain that Blizzard is not likely going to change their stance based on a poll or even a petition as they’ve demonstrated more than once.
Bandwidth does not affect gameplay, ping does. This is a common misconception. People think because they have 1gb internet that they’re going to game faster. I played a FPS game with a OG .5 mb connection and got a ping of 24. That ping remains the same today.
That’s not necessarily true. There are several factors that affect ping and bandwidth is the least likely.
Shared connection? Router throughput? Modem properly provisioned? VPN? Packet loss? Are you on satellite? Are you on wireless with interference?
Blizzard define cheating in their EULA. Cheating is not allowed by their definition not by googles definition.
I believe d2r had that issue and thats why they removed UWS support? However it wasnt considered cheating as far as i know, more like it was seen as a technical issue which could be exploited.
Also its kind of obv that its easier for the eyes to catch something change on the screen if its bigger. Its harder for the eye to catch a small moving object vs a big moving object. If thats what he is refering to.

As ambiguous as their EULA is, you could still define it the exact same way.
I agreed it was not cheating. It’s designed into the game.
U could but it doesnt mean that they have to. What blizzard consider as cheating are explained in the EULA. If it doesnt fit in their definition of cheating then its not considered as cheating by them at the moment. U sign the EULA. Its a agreement, when u sign it u agree that u wont cheat by their definition and not by googles definition.

I’m not saying you’re totally wrong. What I mean is you can put in your EULA that 
smells good, that just means you as a company think so but that doesn’t really make it so.
There is a lot of things in various games I’ve come across that are shady as you know what but a person can hide behind the EULA. People who commit various atrocities can hide behind law or the constitution to protect them.
