If you think a lawyer would take the case you describe and spend their man power against blizzard, because that is what it will take lots of lawyers and then base their pay on contingencies with the out come that could take years and is not certain. ya, I would pay 500 bucks to look at that brief.Originally Posted by MadMilitia
You watch too many law and order episodes, either that or youre an idiot. Reasonable doubt lol.
As I said I've never seen Blizzard ban someone for no reason. If they did (which is a big if) they would leave grey area to consider discrimination. Huge companies lose discrimination suits all the time. They don't as it isn't something they position themselves to be sued for. So arguing one way or another is like arguing over the existence of the spaghetti monster. When they actually ban someone for no reason at all we'll talk.
PS: I don't watch TV and you can stick your insult up your haughty ass.
I don't think a lawyer would accept a case like that on a contingency basis. If you sue Blizzard because they closed your bnet account the best you could hope for is to get the account reinstated. To get anything else you would need to prove damages. Either is unlikely because a judge would probably dismiss the case before you finished explaining what you were suing for. And then your lawyer walks away with a percentage of the zero dollars you "won." I can't imagine that there's a lawyer out there who would go through the trouble of starting a class action to get a bunch of gamers their WOW back, for the same reason.
On the other hand, I am sure that there are plenty of lawyers willing to charge a person $400 to write an angry letter to Blizzard on their behalf and another $400 to write a letter back telling them that Blizzard refused to restore the account.
That said, the CYA language in those TOS agreements really shouldn't be allowed, even if it is just an access agreement for a video game. "You agree that we can do whatever we want, for whatever reason we want"? Who do they think they are, the NFL?

Like i said and MiRai said Do not worry about it. it seems this has been on D3 for a long time and yet nothing is been done about it. Uni's over the world can have 100 off clients of one IP. so i can not see them IP banning anytime soon.
As for them deleting accounts when ever they feel like it for no reason there in the full rights to do this, This is if they was to close down wow next week. They can without saying anything to you or giving you anything back. But we know this is not going to happen.
And i know they do close down accounts all the time with no reason. (mostly gold seller stores)
You contradicted yourself there. They DO close those sites down for a perfectly legal reason. Every ban I've seen was with reason. I've never, ever seen anyone banned for no reason at all. They always give one.
I'm just here to remind everyone here that the sky is falling (and MiRai is spot on).

Am not worried about it.
Love all the backstreet lawyers that have no idea what they are talking about. Next they will be citing legal precedent like bosses.
Look, Blizzard can and will cancel your account for no reason if they so choose because they put it in their agreement. Whether or not it's going to hold up in court (if anyone's even willing to take it that far lol?) is another story; but it'd be almost impossible to cancel an account for no reason at all because a human being would have to make the decision, and inherently, would have a reason even if it's "because I wanted to." So, really, everyone's arguing about nothing because...
1) Blizzard doesn't have a special team combing through millions of accounts trying to connect the dots between who's allowed to have more than 3 BNet accounts and who isn't.
2) Even if this fairly recent addition to the EULA/TOS is meant to be interpreted the way that it's currently being read, it only affects < 1% of all multiboxers in the history of multiboxing video games (can't prove me wrong on that - SDWLogic) -- Most of whom we all know. If you want to cause someone problems after March 18th, 2014, then report them and see if Blizzard will uphold and interpret the agreement in the same manner that's being discussed here.
I can't even fathom how they'd decide which accounts you're allowed to use and which you aren't, but the only things to do would be to either wait it out and see what happens or try to get a blue response through their customer support forum.
