It wasn't that obvious until Bashiok's response. Linux users don't always have it sunshine and roses. It happened on WoW (but was reversed) many years ago so it was a possibility.
My apologies then.

Just another text book PR excuse from Blizzard. Game companies and Fanbois are always going to blame the user no matter the evidence or how many people are having problems. Same situation with my XBOX Live getting hacked and most of my gamerscore stolen. M$ took no responsibility and the fanbois made it out like it was my fault. Fact was the points were taken and transfered, not spent on my account.

If they have evidence, they could end all this now by just making it public, even doing so here in this thread would effectively "douse" the flames, seeing as how this thread is being used as the source for certain gaming news sites.

I'd hope not as well. I've never had a bad experience with Blizz CS in the years I've played. But this entire D3 launch and game has left many of us with a bad taste in our mouths ,and unfortunately a distrusting opinion of the company that we've always loved. |
Yes yes, INCREDIBLE BUSINESS PLOY. Lets just take this Linux users and ban them all. Seems so legit. Just as a side note - the OP never got banned. He was "outraged" by something that happened to someone else. Apparently he's going to play D3 on WINE now and see if he gets banned (no word back yet). |

They don't share account information with anyone, ever. It's not your business what happens with the accounts of others. It's between the account holder and Blizzard. |

I wonder how much Bashiok gets paid for all these half-assed responses he gives the community. Instead of using one-liners and posting in the form of a 12 year old troll given admin rights, maybe, just MAYBE, you could provide EVIDENCE that proves the OP is wrong. Oh. Well I'm not sure which one of my responses wasn't helpful, but I appreciate the feedback. It's company policy not to discuss account actions with anyone but the account holder, or their legal guardian if applicable. It's an issue between us and them. Trust me, it'd be much easier on me to just post exactly what they did, but we feel it's important to honor the privacy of our customers, and that's a policy I personally agree with. |

Blizz, just release Linux binaries. They are honestly so unprepared and understaffed for the release of this game from CS, GMs, office personal, programmers to management it should be criminal. You are honestly lucky at all you even get responses from a blizz employee. I doubt you will see anything of the sort any time soon until they manage to get more space and more people. |

That's an ignorant reply, you can't know the whole story. If blizz shows evidence that he was cheating, i'd be more inclined to believe them. As of now however i am inclined to believe the user. |

Cheaters trying to unban their accounts for the wrong reasons and blame Blizzard. You guys are pathetic.

We’ve extensively tested for false positive situations, including replicating system setups for those who have posted claiming they were banned unfairly. We’ve not found any situations that could produce a false positive, have found that the circumstances for which they were banned were clear and accurate, and we are extremely confident in our findings. Although I do not currently game using Wine, I have in the past. Even though your support of Linux and BSD is only cursory and is probably only offered to avoid the PR nightmare of an Internet Sh*tstorm, I still appreciate you guys taking the time to test Wine+Linux/BSD configurations for Warden false positives.

And Kripp and Krippi weren't the first to clear. I doubt this is the end of this issue. |
It really wouldn't people will continue to believe whatever they want to believe. Look at the AH affecting drop % rumor that was addressed by one of the lead developers Wyatt Cheng: The auction house has absolutely no effect on drop rates. There are conspiracy theories and misunderstandings, but I do want to re-iterate: there is NO interaction whatsoever. Bashiok mentioned earlier that we took the AH into account, so let me expand a little bit on that. People still quote articles on no name sites as proof of some conspiracy. |

Wife and I play happily on Fedora under Wine. No problems yet, game's smooth as butter.
I'd be choked if I were banned for nothing more than playing in a non-standard environment, but I'll save the rageposting until it actually happens. Fortunately the store I bought the game from accepts returns. I'd be sad to be forced to take it back. Good to see blue posts affirming that Tux isn't the enemy here :) |
