I know a lot of people will be happy about this, and I'd agree that it's better for the health of the games, but I am a paying PTR member that plays only at FT. FT's recent update has knocked out PTR's Table Finder, buddy list, and Web HUD. Looks like they're somehow still pulling some hands off FTP, but it's definitely not working properly.

I expect them to be able to bypass FT's countermeasures, but if they aren't able to fix it will PTR be offering refunds to their subscribers?

PTR is scum by offering such a service.

I expect them to hold their title of "scum" by keeping your money.

All experiences I've had with PTR sales/support have been amazingly pleasant

PTR is ruining the game. People play your own damn hands and do your own damn research. Some sites dont allow datamining, so why is it ok for PTR to do it??? Cause its a business...??? are you kidding. I am glad this has happened. Hopefully it will b gone for good soon

Why are you supporting a site to begin with that you openly admit is bad for the game?

how tough is it to realize it's all an 'arms race' case?

most are willing to end the war, nobody is willing to be the fool ('hero') who first lays down, especially in an anonymous society.

Looks like they're back up and running at FT. For better or worse I think PTR is here to stay.

i don't understand why datamine/ptr cheaters like OP don't get the same kind of hate that any other cheaters get around here. whether or not these services are bad for the game is just a side discussion, and nomatter how you feel about that, using this stuff while you play is cheating.

i also wish that sites wouldn't make rules that they're not prepared to enforce, because it just hurts people that follows the rules, while helping cheaters like OP.
