Blizz bans for snapshotting?

Big ban wave. I've read 40,000 people. Most stuff was saying hellfire exploit but based on leaderboard numbers snapshotting might be in there too.

boo season is still 72, no ban for snapshotting it looks like

Why would they ban for snapshotting, you been smoking something weird?

The hellfire exploit is a clear bannable exploit, snapshotting damage buffs is a true "clever use of game mechanics".

I still do however think that it's a stupid mechanic that should be changed.

It's not a clever use of game mechanics if it's an unintended use. Just like previous snapshotting was fixed because it was not intended.


From blizzards website via Eula.

"Accounts participating in exploitative behavior are suspended or closed based on the severity of the offense."

"While bug exploitation involves the abuse of what is essentially a programming mistake, the abuse of game mechanics is the act of taking advantage of game systems. This category includes using/distributing game mechanics in a manner unintended by their design..."

They have to word that very generally because people would abuse it by toeing the line if they didn't. All that's been done is figuring out how the mechanics behind EP really work, there's absolutely zero grounds for any bans, rollbacks, or suspensions.

They are purposefully and knowingly abusing how it works. It's not designed to be used as a carry through for power pylons.

How is that not obviously exploiting it?

Yeah season top didn't change

Hello,

I've been working on a healer, because no one want my U6 monk in higher Grs..

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Gerner-2549/hero/67143166

But I have almost all my items, just need Vigilance atm.. But I'd like to know, what items to upgrade next..
I have these ind mind:

Zodiac - Dex or Vit instead of Ias..
Rogars - Vita instead of life%
Hellfire amu - Better stats.. I think Vit - Dex - Life reg
All of my items could need to be ancient.. But thats too obvious to mention for my upgrades.

So what do you guys think about her?

Best regards
Gerner
