Re: True or false?
I could not know less sorry, nevertheless after an extensive chat with a good friend which happen to be an international business lawyer an unexpected but actually important question raised. He simply asked me to answer the following question.
Is it prohibited to USE illegal mods or to HAVE THEM ON YOUR CLIENT ?
After him, having mods on your client does in ANY case mean that you have used them during Pub battles, maybe you just use mods with your friends on the training ground in order to see and or learn new tactics, which is NOT MENTIONED NOR PROHIBITED BY WG RULES.
So banning you just because you have illegal mods on your game client is totally illegal for the simple reason that “HAVING THEM” does not prove by any means that you have “USED” them. Only a factual prove of infringement towards game rules justifies banning.
This makes total sense, Most mods have an ON and Off function, so WG has to be able to prove that you have USED illegal mods during public play in order to benefit of unfair superiority.
It’s not because you have a car able to go over 200 km/h that you will be fined just for the fact of owing one. Only if you are caught driving over the limit you can be fined (providing irréfutable prove of the infringement).
Furthermore he thanked me and told me that he will investigate the matter more in depth, as for him the whole spiel looks like a load of cash to collect from Cyprus….
Happy Hunting… 😉
