    Is it just me or is Blizzard really sinking the ship with accessibility to classic games? I logged into an old acc that had the games purchased and I could not find the games to install under the classic tabs anywhere. Navigating through their software seems like a complete atrocity to the mind and truly an abomination to what things once where. Have any of you seen IP Restrictions and the absolutely ridiculous list of "offences" that cause them to occur for bliz d2 players? Take a look at this stuff... Directly quoted from their support page:

    Some players may receive temporary IP restrictions. Disclosed are reasons as to what could potentially trigger an IP restriction:
    Diablo II Only:
    • Scrolling through skill selection using the mouse wheel.
    • Going in and out of accounts/characters too quickly. i.e Muling
    • Going in and out of games too quickly (most common cause). i.e. Muling, magic finding, Baal/Pindleskin runs, etc.
    • Repeated requests for a new screen to see what you wish to gamble for.
    • Going up and down a way point to refresh the screen in a shop (see above).
    • Repeated use of a spell with no cast delay such as Amplify Damage or Glacial Spike.
    This lasts a maximum of 12 hours.

    Multiple restrictions can lead to worse punishments upon your account, this is absolutely ridiculous! Even a casual d2 player uses a quantity of these features everyday just to simply enjoy the game at a casual pace! Let alone acknowledged and seasoned players, they don't waste much time and they use effective methods. Basically they are telling us that we cannot be effective or it's a potential threat to be banned for some time. Not to mention, multiple restrictions can possibly lead to perm bans. Imagine that... This is stuff that ANY Diablo 2 player would expect to be allowed to do... How are people not having issues with these conducts?!

    I was considering getting d2 blizz again but... - with the amount of tedious nonsense you must weave through just to obtain the game and have it function without getting a temp restriction from reasonably playing it... It doesn't even seem worth it! On the bright side, blizz has released a couple classics without a cost such as SC and a portion of SC2. I'll keep the blizz client just to find active matches on classic SC, as well as toggle for matches on our server.

    I think this is an absolute atrocity for a company that now represents the game.. Blizz north would have no choice but to lower their heads in shame at the site of all of this. Blizzard today is nothing of what it was. Clearly.


    How is your experience with current-state Blizzard going?

    Yeah, just accessing the game itself is worse than it was in 2015. That alone is what I found troubling until I seen about 55+ threads based upon the past few days about people unfairly being restricted.

    last time I played battlenet i remember I couldn't create more than 100 games per day, of course no mule allowed either but bots everywhere and because many ruined the game with cheats they added all these limits I think but thankfully this is not Blizzard and i don't want it to be

    Not to mention the dozens (IF not hundreds) of players that can't even manage to get their connection to maintain...
