Gives them an excuse to has tiny portions (means they can charge moar for less and people can't complain)

b:laugh thats the thing with most class action lawsuits though theyre typically settled out of court merely because it costs the company as a whole a whole lot less than it would take to tie it up in court for a year for the individual to run out of money and why u now see the fat content% on ur cheeseburger wrappers or whatever health facts it is the argument was made that they became obeist because they had no information providing the health qualities of theyre product which was the basis of the case in the first place.
ive seen a story where a man in arizona was having his store broken into night after night so eventually he took the initiative and released live rattle snakes within his store and put a sign in the window stating so. sure enough a person broke was bit and died the man was sued because the sign wasnt in spanish and they won.
another case ive seen is a man in tenessee is on death row in tenessee they still had death by hanging as an option to say the chair or lethal injection. while the man was in jail waiting for his time he would purchase numerous amounts of snack foods from a vending machine and eventually gained so much weight that if they were to hang him as his weight it would decapatate the man making it an inhumane death they couldnt not actually put the man to death and was forced to stay on death row. this is why theyve taken things like this out of prison as well. theres a way to argue every case depending on the reasons for ur case anything is possible.0 -

The viability of a case isn't determined by what you are suing for, it's the direction of the argument that will either win or lose the case.
The TOS or EULA doesn't really matter. It cannot affect or negate existing law. That's going into contractual, not consumer law. It could say that if you don't play on Friday at 1am every week they can come to your house and re-arrange your furniture.
This is fun cause I think it's helping me notice differences in American/German law. xD
A service case under German law is more or less similar.
Now I'm curious: is a cab service and a bus service treated as the same kind of service in the US? And what's prostitution considered?I AGOREY0 -
Prostitution is considered illegal.

Constitutional Law has always been my favorite, I've helped a few law enforcement agencies as well as helped my countiy's District Attorney's office in a few matters, though I'm not a lawyer, I was pretty heavily involved in one industries technical legal concerns enough to qualify as an expert witness.
As far as I'm aware Public Transit is owned by the local or regional government and a taxi cab would be a private operator. They both provide services. I lol'd at your question about prostitutes... Loltank answered before I could. haha Prostitution is an illegal service. Of course, it could provide a product. One that you don't want. One that you REALLY don't want. lolLoltank - Harshlands wrote: »Prostitution is considered illegal.

prostitution is legal in nevada, outside of vegas.
as i stated earlier, the legal theories you would be looking under are "detrimental reliance" and "unjust enrichment" quasi-contractual theories, if you sue based on the actual contract, you're almost guaranteed to fail.
the theories i've offered will also likely result in failure, but it could be fun to argue at least.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

I wish I had a better understanding of civil/consumer/corporate/cotnractual law to take the topic further... but I'm not about to search histories or learn code.

I'll explain more simply so you can better understand.
The title of the post is "class act lawsuit for all venos with a herc".
I agree the OP's point is horribly failed and I briefly addressed that.
I merely said that a case *could* be made, and stated why.
Read my sig. It's all yours.
Any case *CAN* be made. If you had read more carefully you would have noticed i said nothing about the fact that it *CANNOT* be made a case.
I merely stated what the difference was and the failure of the options regardless being carried out or not.
Have i explained it simple enough for you? Your trying to argue with me about something i didnt even mention because you automatically get defensive seeing the word "fail" in your quoted post.
You should read more carefully before you start sounding like that unnamed idiot in your own sig.

Keep laughing all u want guys, but he is correct!
I think he was trying to use generic termnology. And for all of us veno's, who have spent $1000's, to make our character you might want to carefully rethink this person's remark and not laugh.
And to make matters worse, consider this thought.
Veno's are not needed in the game anymore. Seems to me they are slowly but surely giving our jobs away as a support DD.
I copied this list of veno's job's, from a sticky here at our forum
Basically a veno's job in squad is:
- Pulling/Luring bosses or mobs.
*note this as #1 in the list of what our job is. now genie's can lure, everyone has a genie, they don't need us veno's anymore for that!
- Keeping the boss debuffed with amplify damage (although don't use it when you know some bosses with nasty AOE can kill you)
*clerics also have these skills and genies do too!
- Brambling the tank
ohhh here a veno's job!
- Sending sparks to the tank or cleric (after cleric uses BB or RB)
ohhh here another veno's job sending people in the squade sparks! lmfao
- Purging the boss
and die doing it!
- DDing, of course
last but not least!0 -
I would say most Venos got a Herc to get into squads easier as a lot of them look for Herc Venos.Good Luck with your lawsuit and btw booking the courtroom cost more than 100.000.000 Hercs or 1 Mil.

Yes, you sound sore, like you dont want to admit you misinterpreted things to avoid yourself embarrassment.
Way before you use to post some very good points and what not. Nowadays im starting to see more and more of your posts just filled with sarcasm and belittlement, especially when pple point out something that is 1) opposite of what you said and 2) correct you. And some of them even start out neutral too. When asterelle pointed that out, i kinda ignored that cause you were a long time poster and gave you the benefit of the doubt. Now i kinda see what he was saying first hand.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]lagunal8.deviantart.com

No, the point you and most people seem to not be able to differentiate in this discussion is the fact that I am not arguing for or against a product, i.e. the herc, I'm providing the alternative argument about the service actually being provided. That is what you failed to grasp.

Personally, I'd wish the OP good luck and hope he/she goes through with it. Hopefully, this might make gaming companies sit up and take notice and realise they can't hide behind their ToS and EULAs while implementing all sorts of screwed up changes as and when they deem fit even if its detrimental to the majority of the gaming population.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Do I really need to requote your entire first response to me? What kind of brilliant Sherlock Holmes moment did you have thinking that trying to argue what I even called a bad analogy in the first place is even remotely intelligent? So I ignored that and responded to your post as it applied to the context of mine. Really, does it take a master's degree in Land Management to know I preemptively put the whole basis of your orinal disagreement in the trash heap before you even started? Put on the dunce hat and lets do the time warp. :PDeceptistar - Sanctuary wrote: »

You buy a new truck. You take it in for a recall or an electronics update. When you originally bought the truck, you were getting 40 mpg. Now you're only getting 35 mpg directly because of the update. Of course your car still drives fine. It still takes you to work, brings home your groceries, etc... but you no longer get the gas mileage that you expected. You have a case. You will most likely win.
Of course, this is from my limited knowledge of how California consumer law works, not German law. I'm pretty sure we have the most strict consumer law protections of any country. I could be mistaken though.
- nothing done to the herc itself
- PWI did not state herc was sold for a specific dungeon run
- it was the community that named herc into a 'TT soloer' because it could, not because it was intended for that purpose.
See the part in bold? I state it's a bad analogy, but you chose to quote it anyway (as well as removed it). What's the point of even arguing? I dismissed this as stupidity on your part. Why is your point to pointing out a bad argument in a bad analogy? Do you get that? How can you not understand? Really.... are you really this stupid?
As to the rest of your comments to my post...
"-nothing done to herc itself" Duh, I stated this twice before you replied... why are you reiterating something I already stated as fact?
"-PWI did not state herc was sold for a specfic dungeon run" That doesn't matter. I wasn't arguing that the herc was a product that you received. I didn't argue that the herc had a specific intended use that had been changed. Fail more please?
- it was the community that named herc into a 'TT soloer' because it could, not because it was intended for that purpose. Who cares? That has nothing to do with my point at all. I'm not arguing this, I didn't even mention it you moron.
None of what you wrote was even in proper context to what I had said. That's why I said, you didn't even get it.
Guess what? You didn't.I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.0 -

No veno and i mean NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO veno gets a herc for any other reason other than to solo farm TT the pet has no purpose for anything other than that.
I am currently seeking legal advice on how about getting this started. I know this has been done with MMO's in the past one person recieved 30,000 us dollars from a gaming company that ran an mmo almost just like this one over he had spent a 1,000 dollars on his characters then they released a patch/update making all of the things he had spent his money for worthless.
It has been done and its not impossible even by their tos if they sell a product and the product has a specific purpose and it fulfills that purpose there isnt a problem but if they some how make that product not functional to its sole purpose by their doing the product should either be replaced or made to function as it was intended to at time of said purchase or refunded. i will update more on this once aware of how to get this started from legal aid.0
