    Ban Any Account that Uses Remote Desktop To Login

    As the title states, anyone doing this is break TOS and should be banned.

    If you are doing it, please speak up so I can report.


    UPDATE BLIZZ REPLIED

    Here is the reply FROM BLIZZARD

    I delved into this one a bit more because I don’t want folks getting in trouble. Under our EULA the following section: >

    Cloud Computing: Use the Platform, including a Game, in connection with any unauthorized third-party “cloud computing” services, “cloud gaming” services, or any software or service designed to enable the unauthorized streaming or transmission of Game content from a third-party server to any device.

    With the remote access, you might be treading very closely to this, so it might be a bad idea and at this point I’d recommend against the activity.

    I’m going to update my previous statement to avoid any trouble down the line if someone were only to see that quote.


    Enjoy your bans, I'm outright reporting anyone in here who claims they used it.

    How are they breaking TOS?

    You would have a better chance of Getting Multi-Boxers getting banned than with Remote Desktop users and there is already a 0% chance of a multi-boxer getting banned.

Everything else is secondary even the gameplay itself is secondary to building your character, its the kind of stuff you think about when you are at work or school and couldnt wait to go home to play WoW or Diablo 2. We have all done it." ~Into, 2016

    aside from the whole "not against the ToS" thing.
    Do you know how remote desktop works?
    Obviously you don't because you don't see the difference at Blizzards end so its not even something they could do anything against if they wanted.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    Is this still an issue? I remember the first week of Classic the queues were 3-4 hours a night, and half my guild was doing this remote logon to bypass the queues.
    This is one of several reasons why I quit Classic when I did.
    I might come back eventually, but if this sort of queue nonsense persists I don't see the appeal.

    Yep, people who specifically played on the most popular servers at launch and refused to take free transfers are seeing 4 hour queues

    Why didnt you leave Herod when you could? Transfers have been open multiple times and these queues have been on going since launch. You get what you paid for.

    Sometimes I struggle to tell if people are trolling or just super ignorant.

    They should ban people who were not smart enough to transfer servers.

    Oof, I originally rolled on Stallag, played for 2 weeks at only an hour a night after work due to Queues. Transferred off over to Heartseeker, which was 6-1 Alliance dominated and I play horde.
    Trying to level in Fel Wood in my low 50s and getting corpse camped by 2-4 bored level 60s in raid gear wasn't my idea of a good time I tell ye' hwat.

    because its not a bannable

    Start logging in earlier or remote login yourself. Its not hard... or bannable.


    I dont play classic but I sure as hell would do this. Why would I go to work for 8 hours, travel home and then want to wait 4+ hours to play? I would definitely log in remotely to start the queue at least.

    Hell, back in Classic, this was a problem. As it was in most expansion launches. You want to ban me for having my wife start my login queue 3 hours before I got home from work?

    lol you're still on Herod? Literally your fault and you're just salty that you didn't have the clairvoyance to take the free ticket off the congested server because Blizzard themselves said "Hey, if you stay here, you're going to deal with queues."

    Deal with it. You made a poor choice.

    I'm happy about my choice, does that make you upset. I would leave but I have a guild of 120 people who would all have to leave as well, thats not gonna happen.

    Banning isn't an option, but here are a few:
    -Use remote desktop yourself.
    -Transfer.
    -Get over it.

    If Blizzard released decent servers this wouldn't be an issue. It's also not against the TOS.

    You making a thread to express your own rage at the situation, and not even understanding why you're angry, does not make me upset.

    It sustains me. Idiots like you posting about their own idiocy as if it's validation of the baseless arguement they're innevitably about to make, might as well be it's own genre in comedy. The fact that you blindly call me a 'boomer' is just further confirmation that you are as stupid as they come.
