Nope. I tend to clean up on things like my email. I could write to support, but I know I at least will miss out on season 19 and the pet that comes along with it.
They write an email stating the penalty and the reason why. It also states when the end date is due.
But after 2-3 mutes, you will not get the chance of an appeal. So even if you “just defended yourself”, people in game can just report away and get you muted and then not able to play.
I think it’s a fine idea. When the reports actually needs a penalty. Instead of banning people for breaking the rules, they take away the possibility of people being even more toxic in game and yes, you did sign up for following their rules.
But the entire issue is, there is nothing looking like a fix.
The email does have the duration of the silence. I asked support recently about how it is listed on the notification. It has the end date, not the # of hours or days. I also confirmed the standard silence does start at 24 hours.
If TuneOut really wants me to find out the duration of their silence I probably can, but I would need him to request it here in writing so I can point to the post and get a reply - or instruction on how to get the last penalty email re-sent. They won’t share account info with me personally.
Wow you don’t read up on a thread before you comment do you. As a student of business law. Yes I read it. And I gave it as much credit as it was due. We used these agreements in class all the time. About how companies will hide illegal things in the TOS and then force people that dont know any better to follow them.
Actually it does, in some cases. Have you ever studied business law? Murphy VS Disney. He sued after being ejected for breaking the rules which were in the TOS and yet ended up not being enforceable.
Now what makes you think I have nothing to back it up. Lets just toss this out there that maybe just maybe I do research before posting on line. Or maybe I have this data from the job that do IRL? What makes you assume that it is an assumption.
You really seem like a Blizzard shill these days. Stop reading to respond and try reading to understand. Then go and research it, after reading the first 5 court cases im sure you will understand.
Simple matter is that the EULA is not always enforceable. They can put what ever they want in there. Doesnt mean they can act on it even if you do agree to it.
But think what ever you want. I have been doing this for so long I watch people like you come and go.
Before replying to that one. I know I am a hot head. I know I burst out. I get that I need to be held accountable for my actions in game. But this is just getting too far out with the entire timeline of this.
And thank you for the help you have done so far. It’s nice of you to look into things and try what you can.
I just know I will miss out on s19, so no need to look more into it.
I will miss out on the pet and the achievements, and that is enough for me.
I miss playing. And when I like a game, I really hate missing out on things I cannot get back.
Have you considered that some players deliberately make provocative comments in the chat, skirting as close to the line of breaking the rules themselves without actually doing so, precisely to goad others to respond in a manner that does break the rules, just so they can report the goaded players for having responded in a manner that broke the rules?
Trolls get bored if no-one feeds them. Stop taking their bait.
You stated you took one class and that much of the material was above you.
Yes, which I already discussed. Of course aspects that are illegal can’t be enforced. Outside of illegal things though, business contracts are enforceable.
You don’t have that data. I would wager my many many years of Blizzard games, especially Diablo series, and my time here on the forums. The average age of Diablo players is 30s. Average age of gamers overall in the video game industry is too. (Source - google “average age of video gamers” and all the returned articles say the same thing.) This is a M rated title as well, not that it stops people, but it is not a game aimed at children. The majority of video gamers are not under 18 as you assumed.
Its not a bad thing. It helps teach people how to handle those that upset them. ITs not like you can mute or ban someone in real life. Sop by doing this all Blizzard is doing is retarding peoples coping mechanizes. But to each their own. Like I have said, I have no dog int the fight really.
Did I say how long I took the class for? Well let me explain. I took my first 4 years in business law. Then I changed because I found it to be far more dishonest then Civil law.
And yes much is above me as I dont do international law (since activation)
Your many many years lol. Sure think what ever you want. The fact that you use google whos results can be bought and paid for shows just how much your opinion is worth.
You are clearly old and out of touch. As many here have already told you.
Tell that to the 16 year old fornight champion. Or the group of 6 year olds that my god son plays d3 with after school.
As for being aimed at children I dont see why. Its not like its a horror game. The majority of the blood and what not is so bad that even my god son commented on how fake it looked during the d4 preview.
But we are done here. You have been weighed. And I think ill add you to the block list to save myself from you. Good day and good luck.
Needless to say, I have made unpopular posts and have been attacked for it in words on this forum. If you stay respectful or do not engage, you will stay on the right side of Blizzard.
I can’t help but laugh here. There is no block list on this forum. You can stop getting notifications from a thread or poster, but you can’t block or ignore anyone.
You were outright wrong in many of your assertions and assumptions - right down to assuming how the forum works.
Exactly. And I think TuneOut knows that. He agreed with that in the TS thread.
One thing is this forum, another is the game itself.
I got the penalty in game, but since I cannot play there won’t be any issues.
I know I have discussed with you and it has ended.
I just want people to be aware and debate the subject of this matter.
I have stayed somewhat patient and I think for this amount of time, it should have seen a result or at least a reply in one way or another.
I can try asking again next week. Last I heard though, there was no ETA on a fix. Further, some of the behavior of posters in the TS thread was … well you remember what the Blues had to say about it. That did not help encourage Blizz to fix it fast.
Shows how much you know. There is a thing called Stylish for browsers that allow you to dictate just what the browser shows you on any site. You can remove any aspect you want and even hide posts based on user name. Here let me give you a link. Oh wait cant so. Im sure you can look it up.
