There is also non-personally identifying device information

That seems like a false statement. What device information exactly? I heard computer and user name which can be personally identifying.

isn't any different from what every website on the internet gleans as you surf the web

Can websites get your user or computer name? Is that what is being referred to? Last I checked that information is not available or intended to be available to any website.

But nobody is looking at it unless there's actual cause to investigate rule violations or account theft.

Sounds like the NSA and their logic that they aren't spying on you by collecting your information because no one is looking at what was collected... until some other time.

If you think anyone is actively watching you, then you really overestimate how interesting you actually are.

Uthgaard aren't you that rogue GM who I saw ban players without cause and I petitioned it and messaged Nilbog on the forums about it? Yeah that's right it was Mistmoore and I saw someone accidentally train a mob or something and you popped up in response. I told you I saw the whole thing and it was an accident but you essentially told me to shut up and perma banned them. You already had a rep for bad decision making like this and thinking your job was to play bad cop and insult players. I say that because I also had already messaged Nilbog that I was concerned you weren't a fair or good GM so this training incident was me saying I had confirmation of my earlier beliefs.

Anyway the reason I bring it up is because sometime after that occurred I called you gay on the forums and you perma banned all my in game accounts for it even linking IPs to other accounts banning my families accounts. Luckily Rogean unbanned my accounts after you yourself got banned.

Point being it's funny to hear you say this when you were a power obsessed GM who unfairly banned players on multiple occasions including in my case accounts I had merely logged into for calling you gay on forums. So clearly you yourself felt I was interesting enough to punish by using this collected data, in my case IP information, so why wouldn't you or someone like you use the additional computer information when someone calls you gay or worse and you want to punish them maybe beyond the game world? After all, I broke a forum rule on the forums but you applied that to game accounts some of which weren't even mine. I don't think your statements are very trustworthy but maybe I'm wrong.

By the way I never got to apologize for that, I'm sorry, it was inappropriate to call you gay and was insulting to gay people too to use this as a slur.
