Patch 1.17c..?

Am I wrong assuming you need a copy of the game to make a forum account. What do they just IP ban the offending account but allow the game code to produce more than one forum account? Or do they just own multiple copies of the game...

At a guess it is 2 accounts. Most players have 2-3 anyways, what with the free one that comes with the CE, and the fact that purchasing a copy of the game costs less than €7 right now.

Also IP bans are the most pointless things in the world, and haven't been used in gaming the way players see it since Diablo was released, as you can simply reset your router to be assigned a new one, or use a VPN. The accounts are locked, it is that simple.
