Those "uber 1337 haxxors" finally get the chop

[Isolde]

Despite what has been said, some fully legit people really HAVE gotten their passwords changed by Blizzard, as one can see at the Basin.

They have some sort of request for restore process, but I have no idea what criteria they use for determining if the account used "cheats" or not.  Maybe they have none.

So the question is, is it worth banning 5 legits for 95 cheaters?  Another relevant point is that these "95"  cheaters are likely less than 2% of the total cheaters out there.

My interest was peaked when i first saw the complaints on the basin, and I investigated some of them. I wish I could say what criteria is being used for banning, but for now, keeping it a secret delays the time before a workaround is found. But the detection method has a false positive rate of about 0% (and I double checked vs. some of the complaints). Since I can't state the proof exactly, I'm not going to name anyone specifically. But some people I always thought were legit either aren't or they have someone playing with their account (and hacking) and they don't know it.


Personally I don't think it's worth banning 5 legits for 95 cheaters. And I'll admit mistakes do happen. But so far, it doesn't look like that's the ratio we're talking about here.
