I learned about this last year at university and you couldn't be more wrong.
Blizzard has every right to terminate your contract (because you agreed to their terms) and ban you from playing their game in the EU. They may also reserve themselves the right to ban you for not specifying any reason at all.
They have almost all the same rights as they have in the US with dictating how you can use their software and what you can do with it (because you didn't purchase the software, but a license that allows you to use a copy of it). The only big difference between the EU and US is that in the EU you are always allowed to create backups even if Blizzard says you aren't allowed to, but besides that it's very similar to how it is in the US.
FYI, the same also applies in Russia.
Legal nonsense posts like yours always pop up from time to time where people say how sure they are that they can do all with software they buy outside of the US, yet there has never been a case where someone successfully won a case against Blizzard lol

The funny thing is that this isn't even true. In fact, nothing is changing. None of the things said in the social contract are new or more restrictive. And it'll be possible to be an asshole in the future regardless, because they only have an abusable automated ban system and no real humans take care of that.
People are being mad over nothing basically.
I do everything it says already so I guess "Accept" ?
Not read it and click Accept like I do with the ToS and EULA.
As far as I am aware they still do have people working for CS. They have simply reduced that number. They have been able to do so based on the following:
- The playerbase has shrunk over the years
- They removed one of the biggest problem issues: Master Looter
- They have utilised machine learning/AI to reduce the load that people need to bear
What all this means is that even though their number of CS staff may have been reduced over the last few years, that doesn't necessarily translate into there not being enough to get the job done just fine.
This is BS and you know it. I have never been toxic since LFD/LFG/LFR? Cross Realm BG queues were added. It makes holding other players accountable from a server side perspective harder sure, but toxic assholes choose to do it on their own, which sounds like something you choose to do and blame Blizzard for instead of holding yourself accountable and not being a dick.

Yet there have already been told, and accepted the rules saying they would not. This is just an update. But again funny becasue people have been asking Blizzard to do something about toxic players, now they seem positioned to focus a bit more on it and people are losing it.
The thing is they didnt really need to update their ToS to reflect this though. As far as i remember griefing and being a jerk was covered by the old tos and pretty much covers all of this. All they had to do was start acting on it. A better report system could for sure be usefull but at this point it just comes off as another publicity stunt to me.
Accept because why would you disagree to anything it says? If you do disagree then I truly hope you don't choose to play the game.
I <3 JK Rowling.
I don't have much against what it says in the stupid pop-up. What I do have something against is the fact that I have to affirm the things it says. Imagine if every time you went into a new restaurant or pub/club, you had to sign a form that says you won't rape anyone that night. Of course I f'ing won't! Why the F do I have to sign this crap?!
accpet ? Like im not a psycho lol
This is already in the terms of service, which I already signed. Why should I have to sign something because THEY rape THEIR EMPLOYEES? I wasent ever the problem. I wasent WHY blizzard had to sell their entire fucking company. And il be damned if I have to be blamed for it
You do realise that the EULA is exactly what i'm talking about as well?
It's the whole reason i know this stuff is not to be taken too seriously.

Pretty much, with the addendum that those three year limits are very flexible and in themselves dependant on local laws.

You really have no idea what you are talking about.
Or you do, but only in the scope of US laws, and do not realise those are quite irrelevant when doing business abroad.
As to the "moral" aspect of the discussion: It all depends entirely on the stuff left unclarified; what is hate speech, what is discussion, etcetera?
I do not intend on spreading any abuse in WoW, didn't intend to do so before either. But without proper clarification as to what these things entail, what the actual implementation looks like, well it's impossible to say if it's another retarded attempted powergrab or just a harmless bit of "Don't be an asshole." codified.
This is a signature of an ailing giant, boundless in pride, wit and strength.
Yet also as humble as health and humor permit.
Furthermore, I consider that Carthage Slam must be destroyed.
Toxicity is in part what made the game great. Barrens chat used to be cool.
except it has for 17 years mister armchair lawyer.

its worked for 17 years, idk what "lawschool" you went to, but this has been in the TOS for 17 years, this is just a social contract that brings some of that TOS to the front to make it easier to read, instead of having to read through 20 pages to find the "dont be toxic" which is far more common in the game.
you have literally accepted this social contract every time for the past 17 years you have logged in, just now they are making it more transparent.
