Yeah, but it’s the reason the people we’re discussing got suspended. Just because Blizzard can do what they want doesn’t change or invalidate the reason those accounts were suspended.

Everything is against the rules, so… sure.
Yes, they did.
I can accept that idea, and still talk about it and how it’s wrong to be that way. If they get to pick and choose enforcement, I feel like it’s a poor system. All or nothing, you go after anything and everything that breaks and rules or intellectual property trademarks, etc.
Right, any rule can be enacted at any time arbitrarily instead of regularly being enforced for all.
You’re the one having trouble understanding, not me.
Sure, but there’s no reason to point out ‘that broke tos’ when everything on technicality breaks tos.
It’s kind of like saying “You breathed, expect a ban.”
People can be outraged for whatever they like, if the forums are here for that.
No, that blizzard can shut down any account doesn’t mean everything breaks tos. Blizzard can come in and shut down my account because it’s their account really, even if I don’t break tos. The people who got suspended broke tos, that’s the reason they were suspended. Your argument is illogical and false.

LMAO how am I having a hard time understanding.
TOS, written out clearly what they will or will not tolerate.
You break it, you get punished. How they punish you is up to them cause it is their product.
Yes you can voice your opinion on the matter, why are people on the forums so quick to get defensive to think a stranger is telling them what they can’t or cannot do.
If you lack common sense and think everything is against the rules then you are quite the ignorant folk I try to avoid.
Have a nice day.

No, it’s part of their TOS that they don’t need a reason to action your account. In technicality, everyone is breaking the TOS as a result.
You are having a hard time understanding because clearly you didn’t read the Terms of Use or the EULA in regards to the game and don’t know all of the policies therein.
Which is vague, and makes it so essentially everything is against the rules.
Because people keep wanting to point stuff out that makes no sense and doesn’t really matter, just to get a rise out of people instead of actually being useful.
You’re the one lacking, sorry. ![:black_flag:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/black_flag.png?v=6" ":black_flag:")

I’m guessing you were affected by this - - only way to believe such ignorant people exist. If I’m getting a rise out of you and you are stating such non sense that clearly isn’t true BUT you believe that than
more power to you… ![:peace_symbol:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/peace_symbol.png?v=6" ":peace_symbol:")

Not surprised you turn out to be false again, I was not ‘affected’ by this actually. I just don’t care if someone does what essentially is using a cosmetic add-on that doesn’t give them an edge… Where other add-ons most definitely do and no one is harrassed for using them.

I’ll go use a wall hack in Counter Strike 'cause it doesn’t affect anyone if I don’t headshot them and just like the look of transparent walls - - but shoot steam bans me months down the line…
Oh the rage!
P.s. that didn’t happen but just pointing out much I care about this ‘‘controversy’’ lol

Yet, none of the mods used by these people affected did anything that affected anyone but themselves. ![:slight_smile:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")

That would be true if there was a way that Blizzard could guarantee that data modifications were used strictly for cosmetic purposes, there’s no way to do that. Functionally there’s no difference between giving your character a ZZ Top beard, scaling up the WSG flag to 30x its normal size, and modifying a wall in a raid to bypass trash. It’s all a hack.

If that were true, modders would have been banned a long time ago. They can tell, which is why people got the action reverted and why it was never a problem previously.

Thus why a lot of those that did some harmless changing to their character got reverted bans, and a warning. To not tamper with the game files. Your point still or do you still want to play victim for people who clearly knew the risk. Affected others or not.
and technically, everyone alters game files. It does that every time you log in, make a new character, etc.
Also technically, everyone breaks a rule by not doing it anyways; doesn’t matter if you do or don’t do it. Again, it’s less harmless than most mainstream add-ons that actually give advantages over other players.
My understanding is that the ban reversals were a reaction to the outcry of numerous cosmetic modders rather than being based on data about what types of mods were being used.

Not sure if you’re insinuating Blizzard unbanned everyone, even if they were ‘botters or exploiters’ with no evidence to go on themselves that those players didn’t do anything wrong or what.
What are you on about, lmao.
Addons that give advantages over other players???
And altering game files that Blizzard allows 'cause it’s part of the game THEY set up. You can’t really believe that when you create an addon that does the very thing they don’t want you to do, to a game you do not own of the property and think it’s a valid excuse that it merely doesn’t affect anybody.
You do lack common sense, sorry to see that.

While I agree with this but if they aren’t gonna enforce a rule of the ToS for literally years upon years. They could have honestly just given a warning or a week ban and come out and say. “Hey, we’ve been letting this slide for years. But no more.”
They did just that… the ban is automated as a blanket ban, they reverted it for a lot that merely did small cosmetic character changes. Gave them a warning.
