Can Blizzard really do IP bans without ensnaring others falsely? How would that work for internet cafes?
Account share is allowed if you are under same household. For example a father and 2 sons could play same account 24/7 legally.

The last time I ever looked at any policy was playing WoW… they allow you to share your account with a child/guardian and there were several who did this. Even if you shared with both parents, there is no way you could prove otherwise. What if they were both splitting the day? No way you could prove otherwise.
They also stated the owner is responsible for the account. Blizzard wont chase ppl who is acc sharing but if one of the person does something against the rules the owner will the one who gets punished.
However thats d3. In wow they do ban ppl for acc sharing for obv reasons. But yeah acc sharing is allowed for parent with child etc.
WoW’s rule is that you can still share with a child/guardian.
Makes me wonder… how would they know if it’s me and my kid and not me and my spouse?
Other than your posturing interjection into a conversation not yours, I don’t give a flying pile of poo what you do… though your argument is semantics as it involves the definition of “quit” vs. “done” when quitting is also “being done.”
It is still literally impossible to quit quitting.

They dont thats why they dont ban ppl in d3 for it. Its in the ToS to give blizzard freedom to act. As whatever happens on the acc the owner is responsible.
For example if someone is botting on the acc they can ban it even if the owner bought alot of skins or whatever. Even if its not the owner who botted but another person. Same like the parent is responsible for whatever the minor does on the acc.

That seems to be very common around here. “Actually, that’s not a beverage… it’s tea”
Yeah, that is true and makes sense. My point to the other person was that there are many variables that can be accounted for in someone having a lot of hours. To just assume and report them is witch-hunting.
It’s not this game or even a game made by Blizzard but another game I play, there is a guy who has been reported for botting many times but he actually plays nearly all day long every day. He’s one of those guys who found some loophole, so he freeloads off the state and plays video games all day… alienating his family.
Not really. Not in the point you tried to make at least as a meal has a distinct end. You can’t keep eating when the food is gone, that doesn’t mean you quit eating.
When I finish a ciggarette. Have I quit smoking until I light up the next one 1 hour later?

21.5 hours per day over an entire season.
There is alot of hours and there is ALOT of hours. Just saying.
It is only a little bit over 7 hours per person per day for a family of 3. Not that much.
That is a lot of hours, but you can work on 2.5 hours sleep per night for quite a while so it’s not like it’s impossible to do that legit solo. Unlikely perhaps, but doable.
For 3+ nonths… when there is a simple explanation to account for the hours.
I slept about that average for almost 2 years. I mean I crashed after that, but it’s doable.
You’re right, there is, but blanket ban everyone with “excess” playtime is not unlikely to catch some that are keeping within the rules.
As far as not getting sleep and what’s humanly possible. I’m bipolar and take a mood stabilizer, anti-psychotics, and anti-depressants. If I was to stop with the stabilizer and just take the other two, which would keep me in a manic state almost indefinitely, I could definitely go a month or two on 2 hours sleep a day, maybe less. The was a time when I wasn’t medicated that I was awake for 102 hours straight before I crashed. That was rough.
Point is, start messing with chemicals in the brain and what’s “humanly possible” goes out the window.
Just sayin’.

Okay, let’s assume the bounties were run in a split 4-man group rather than solo and each split run took 12 minutes. That means you can do 5 runs in an hour, completing 125 bounties per hour. Okay, so 53000/125 = 424 hours. If the season lasted 120 days, that’s an average of 424/120 = 3.533 hours per day.
If, as MicroRNA’s later posts indicate, the player was playing for 21.5+ hours a day, that means they were also doing Nephalem Rifts / Greater Rifts for the remaining 18+ hours a day, for four months straight.
Account sharing is prohibited in the EULA, so is also worthy of being banned.

The EULA says I can share with my kid. And there would be no way to prove if I was sharing with a kid or a friend taking shifts.
You are allowed to share your account with a minor when you are their parent/guardian.
Those under 18 are typically obliged to go to school.
To reach 21.5 hourrs per day for months during the school year, the parent needs to play for most of the school hours and than one or the other of them has to play alnost all night.
That parent can not be employed where they have to work during the day.
Also in a family with this level of D3 obsession, don’t you think that they would buy two accounts to play together?
There is a far simpler and plausible explanation… bip, bop, beep

What if their kids are home schooled?
There are so many circumstances that can come into play. All you’re doing is making assumptions… and you admitted it.
