HWID bans area a valid concern in the sense that some cheater may sell his PC and the new user may find himself banned, I agree.Yup reading that to and that I don't agree with this. The problem is how do they prove that the person who just purchased a second hand pc isn't the one who cheated, while I love them screwing over cheaters auto banning new or different accounts based solely on saved hwid leaves way to much potential to screw innocent people with no real way to appeal.
However...
This isn't actually confirmed yet, just some guy on a cheating forum that shall remain nameless claiming he was banned on his new account for no reason. If Blizzard is banning via HWID, then I'm confident they have a process in-place to identify users who were sold banned hardware. Remember, this isn't Valve. Blizzard has a functioning and responsive customer service dept.
Certainly one of the reasons I play it. Far, far less cheaters than you'd see in CS:GO/TF2.if there ever was a good endorsement for a game? this is it.
