I despise companies that pull bullshit like this. Yes, it is obviously an exploit. Yes, it is breaking the game. However, Blizzard, YOU RELEASED THE BROKEN BULLSHIT. This isn't some freeware title hoping to eek by on a donation. This is a multi billion dollar company that has had years of development to get this shit right. Fuck you, Blizzard. I'm glad I didn't pay for your shit, and I will continue with that trend into the foreseeable future. Dump some of your capital into QA instead of CEO wallets. Companies shouldn't be able to ban someone from playing something that they paid for, unless explicitly stated in the EULA, and a generic clause about "exploits" isn't explicit.

You've missed the point. I don't want them to list every potential bug. I know that isn't possible. What I want is to not have this knee-jerk ban reaction because someone found a bug and used it to their advantage. As far as I'm concerned, until something is said to the community about a particular bug, the game is working as intended, and the onus is on the company to sort it out. That's like if you bought a ticket to Disney, went inside, went to restaurant, ordered your meal, and a disgruntled employee told you, "No charge," and let you walk off without paying. You think Disney should ban someone because they accepted a free lunch after paying $60 to enter the park? No. They should fire the employee, which, in this analogy, means fixing the bug.
