Are people still getting banned for using this trainer in Singlepalyer/VS. AI/Campaign situations?

Yes. This is not going to change.

As with performing at-home electrolysis (risk of scarring), I cannot recommend using any third-party tool to modify a Blizzard game's memory addresses under any circumstance. If it's offline, they'll try to make you feel guilty for "reverse-engineering." If it's SP, they'll say that you are compromising the integrity of achievements.

Eventually, your account will draw the short end of the stick in their rounds, and receive a game-wide ban. It doesn't matter how long of a history you've had with their games, customer service will treat you like a second-class citizen, your support ticket will be locked, and chances are that you'll get a discount coupon towards replacement games. There, we see their motivation: money. If they cared about the integrity of their games, they'd simply bar a player from multiplayer or achievements.

In all, I can't recommend any Blizzard game these days. They take their own clickwrap too seriously. I'm not even completely sure why this particular trainer hasn't been discontinued due to this.

Are there actual numbers for how many have been banned for SP cheating? I´d like some sense of proportion, to tell me how likely it actually is to get banned.
So far I´ve only vaguely heard of a handful of cases.

I have used CH trainers for both campaigns and had no problems but obviously, I can't speak for everybody. What I can say for sure though is that you should never use the trainer in any other mode and also never forget to restart the game after you're done using the trainer. Also, as with any other game, if you're worried that your account will get banned, maybe the best approach is not to use a trainer.

Hi,

I preordered both games and never played any kind of MP. After playing the Hots campaign while using the trainer I got banned around 3 month later. I don´t know this ban is / was caused by the trainer, but the Support was just terrible. There is no support in such cases. They offer you to buy another key / licence ...

i know Blizzard isnt a studio who take cheaters likely ... that wont/will never chance, Support is so Freaky BAD and the chance after a Ban to lose your account is to high in my opinion.

only for this (not about my CH addiction :-P) i wouldnt buy any single game from blizzard again. Last Game i bought was Diablo 3 ... and i made my mom very happy with that game :-P

Greetzz

you're right. CH usually stops updating trainers that can get members in trouble. I find it curious as well. Lastly, I can confirm that Blizzard is well aware of this trainer and their anticheat system, Warden, is set to detect all users that use this. Does CH get a kick back for every license repurchase? Just asking because that's what I was told by the blizzard ex-staff... He didn't say CH specifically but did say they give kickbacks to people who make trainers for their games as long as they provide blizz with the code to look for and detect.
