    Part of the Blizzard EULA is that they can basically ban you for any reason they see fit, and are not required to explain why.

    Warden is pretty notoriously invasive, so your best bet is to log in, start the SP campaign, then disable your internet. Even then, it's possible Warden is logging your actions even while not connected to the internet, and will upload them the next time you log in.

    In short, Blizzard sucks.

    Oh well i guess i won't be continuing the SP Campaign, since i can not pass the missions with time limits, like the relic collections before they get sealed or the getting the train before they pass by, i can never do that without cheating.

    Might as well just shelf the game.

    Never thought about keep trying until you get better?

    This is one of the reasons I say trainers although great, should never be used first time you buy a game, and it also dulls peoples skills.

    Think about how many players who buy a game or not (aka downloading/stealing) actually play the game as is meant to, most if not nearly all will sit and use trainers, and when they finally come across another game that is tough with no trainer, well they will complain "Ooooh its too tough, this game sucks im not gonna play it again".

    Well until a trainer comes out and they are happy again.

    But it goes to show how players are getting weaker in games as years go on, as does the MP players also.

    I cheat because it only affects me and i only play for the story, same thing with Red alert 3, i cheated on that on the single player, same thing with the other C&C games, same thing with other games and games with no single player campaigns at all, i don't even bother buying.

    I am going to just either shelf the game or just play custom games against the AI, since i have tried the timed levels over 10 times and i just can't do them, i just do not have enough time to build my base with good enough defences, workers to get resources, enough troop limits and stuff, the time limit ones just don't give me enough time, anytime i try to rush it, i lose.....BAD.

    Have you tried changing your strategy? If you can't do it on normal, try on easy first. Everytime I get stuck, I review my strategy, see the mistakes I made and try not to do them the next time. Everytime you start a campaign you send a worker or two to collect gas and the rest minerals (make more workers if you need minerals faster). After that depending on your mission you build a defence (usually bunkers on the exits of your establishment if you don't expect many enemies) and a much larger offence (with hired guns, medics, a few workers etc). Everything (gathering minerals, building a good defence/offence) goes slowly in the beginning but obviously it changes as time passes.
    Trust is a fragile thing. Once trust is lost, it can be impossible to recover. Those we're closest to can betray us,and total strangers can come to our rescue. In the end, most people decide to trust only themselves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned.

    weaker in games? what like less mouse clicks? perhaps they need to work out.

    The aspect of StarCraft though has always been build numbers, build fast and gather all the resources you can and beat your opponent quickly. its why the resources are limited. You wont see 3 hour long games, (unlike say the supreme commander series)

    seriously, its nothing about a weakness. its about people thinking they need to win all the time. you have to face defeat after defeat to learn the proper sequence to get things going, your own pattern, your own strategy. many people just dont want to do that anymore. They expect things to be handed to them with a easy to win button, that just wont happen in this series. A trainer gives them that alternative.

    the speed of the SP campaign makes it difficult plus,
    Spoiler:
    some missions its a nightmare even on normal to get your chars through an area just because the engines "collision" mesh is a mess. you end up fighting the clock, plus the engine, plus trying to get to your objective its like a war on three fronts.

    i wouldnt give up on the game just because blizz might or might not ban you for cheating. They give you cheats, you can use those instead, sure you dont get the fluff award but its no big deal anyhow.

    of course if blizz does go crazy with banning, people will find alternatives to the issue. we cant discuss it here but, if they want to play, cheat n have fun, they will. no matter what blizz thinks of "cheaters" and they will loose future customers for something silly as "banned for cheating in SP mode".

    guess we will find out though, i got a few of those badges/achievements after completing the campaign, but im not going to run around and advertise my profile heh. If blizz does ban me, for a TOS or EULA violation in SP mode, they will never get my income again.

    Erm, i play on Easy to begin with in all games with a difficulty setting, i always play on the easiest setting because i do not seek the fabled 'sense of achievement' that others claim to feel.

    I have finished some games without cheating and i have felt nothing, just like when i used a trainer on the same difficulty, i felt nothing....so for me, this 'sense of achievement' doesn't exist.

    I don't have trouble beating back the AI from raids in the SP campaign, its the time limits you have, its like the Evacuation mission, where you need to escort civilians to transports, when the mission first starts, i have about 5-10 seconds to get a small force built to escort the transport....impossible...that first transport is as good as lost.

    I have no idea how anyone can get that mission done on the higher difficulties, because on Easy, i can't do it, the transports start moving WAY too soon for me to even build a single marine, this particular mission isn't that much of a big deal since you can lose a single transport and still finish the mission.

    On the Mission where you have to get 7 relics before the AI can seal 7 relics, i just can't do it, by the time i get my army set up (10 units) the AI have already sealed 5 relics, which doesn't give me much time at all, how anyone does it on higher difficulties is beyond my ability to comprehend.

    Everyone seems to say, that you should focus on getting your MCVs or whatever they are called set up with the resources first, then build your base, but by the time i get that done, they have sealed the 6th relic....

    Yep, i outright suck and its not because i lack trying, i tried the game without cheating when i first got it, i got past the transport escorting mission, but failed the get 7 relics before they seal 7 of them about 10 times before i used the trainer.

    i HATE timed missions, they ruin the game.
