This goes against the TOS for both games. If you play either, I highly recommend flooding them with reports on that. It would be great to see him banned. He'll probably just set up a new account and start again, but it'll cost him and you know he'll keep cheating so you can just rinse and repeat.

You're talking about a guy that could pay 100 million dollars for a new account and not even notice. He obviously wouldn't pay anywhere near that much for something like this. There is no financial cost you can force on him that will change his behavior.

Yeah, but it will annoy him.

Still, doesn't hurt to try.

Wealth redistribution I can get behind, even if it doesn’t stop him.

Yeah but the money’s partly going to Blizzard so yeah…

Time is money and it’ll consume some of his.

I don't recall saying anything about even attempting to change his behaviour, anyone with half a brain knows that's a lost cause. The point is being a thorn in his side. He clearly cares or he wouldn't invest the time and money into these games.
