Again ... you are saying people only INSTALLED the software and didn't USE it? BS ... Yes, that's what everyone does ... Just stop.

Hello, I am just passing to say that Arenanet can keep all the datas they collected on me.

Should any porny content less than 4096 x 8192 pixels be presented as mine, it is likely to be a fake because I have high standards and only keep quality stuff.

(now that you have the space to collect our datas, can we have custom avatars ? a google drive ? ...pretty please ?)

Yes, I never used it when GW2 was open and I have only played GW2 for a month. I also play WoW and FFXIV and I have never even received a warning. Specially WoW which I have been playing for 8 years.

 

ANET is at fault here, there is no denying it.

You don't really get what's happening here. Anet owns your account. If you have setup your system in a way they feel jeopardizes the security of the game or violates the EULA ... they can ban you. They do that for VERY good reasons.

 

Anet is at fault? Wow ... yes, it's ANet's fault your computer is setup with software. how ridiculous.

Although maybe its wrong of me to compare Blizzard to Anet. You can see why company is better by simpler things.

 

Just look at support response times. I heard the fastest ticket response you can get with Anet is 7 days whereas you can probably get into live chat with support staff in WoW on expansion release days in 7 minutes. Enough said.

Lol, I'll just let everyone read this and decide themselves. Its no one's business what I have in my private folders when they are not even open.

 

Continue your pathetic white knighting, it doesn't concern me anymore.

I doubt there will be any legal issues of this, but I find it utterly disrespectful to not delete the information about users which has done nothing. Sure there might be others that do worse things (Facebook?), but this is suppose to be a game that we do for enjoyment. Why ruin that when they can just delete the collateral damage from this intrusion?

 

Is it really too much to ask that they act a bit customer friendly and delete the collected information?

Every time you sign up to enter the game, you give Anet business to do that. You don't really know what you are paying for do you? If it didn't concern you, you would be posting here. It's all just sour grapes.

I'm sure this has been said in these 22 pages. You guys got caught, be grown ups that you always wanted to be, or pretend to be grown ups and do what you think a grown up mature person would do. Take responsibility for your actions and quit crying about it. Quit blaming Anet for your actions. Deal with the consequences of YOUR actions and go on with life.

Such contracts are destroyed on daily basis in courts, don't worry. Use Agreement contract is not law.

Thankfully since May 25th UE citizens can ignore the silly contract that is User Agreement and demand Anet to show and delete all data in relation to the customer.

I doubt that was what they were done,(i doubt that's legal on EU countries, and Anet knows it much better than i do) something needs to trigger some suspicious alerts/changes on mem data for Anet know players has CE open, and for sure Anet readed the logs of the changed data reaching their servers for sure.

 

And players assuming that they cheated on other games, while "("I supose")" it was detected with gw2 CE was functioning, how many players were cheating other game while playing gw2 at same time now, if u dont have the CE scripts for gw2 CE wont interact with it.....

 

I use CE and even some decompilers myself for testing and sometimes i forgot to remove it from tray icon as well, altough i didnt used it in the last 2 months, still i doubt i would be effected.

No it's not like bringing a gun to school or a bread knife. It's like breaking the terms of the agreement you have with Anet every time you log into the game. You're like the other guy ... you don't seem to understand what you pay for when you play this game.

You are defending Anet now but with such lackluster systems like they have, one day you can be rewarded with unjustified ban by them. On that day, you gonna change your stance on this subject. You should respect yourself as a customer and never trust companies.

all that the collected data would do for anet at this point is take up space on their servers, so i'm pretty confident it will get deleted. (probably already is)

Jesus Christ...

 

All this pseudo-legal-babbling from people with no knowledge about law is pi**ing me off. Just because to parties have agreed on certain terms doesn't mean that that's legal. We have consumer protection laws which regulate what's legal and what's not. There are so many lawsuits every year about ToS that people should learn that ToS - or at least parts of them - aren't necessarily legal.

 

...and all the white-knighting here...

 

I don't know what's wrong with all of you people. Back in the old days, it was fairly common to use cheats for single-player-games to enhance the gaming experience. Stuff like GTA would be a prime example. If ANet is incompetent to implement a decent cheat-detection-program into their game which recognized that people have indeed cheated in (!) GW2, then that's entirely ANets fault.

 

Feels like we're back in the dark middle ages with all these darwinistic opinions here...
