When you want to quote someone, try to quote the entire phrase:

You’ll look more credible :slight_smile:

Hi DarkKnicroRNA, glad you returned from your forum ban. Unfortunately, people playing more than you or different than you does not qualify as evidence.

This is very easy to claim when you cannot prove it.

You have no evidence that any of these are their alts, unfortunately.

Dear Blizzard,
I saw a guy who played more than I did. His username is XXXYYYZZZ. Please ban him. The proof that I have is “trust me, bro”.

Sincerely, DarkKnight (You may know me better as MicroRNA).

So where does that put you on the boards then?

Oh wait, you are just an internet detective, you don’t actually play the game.

I actually saw a show the other day on Hulu, you should check it out. Web of Death, it’s about a bunch of people like you, who spend their days online sleuthing. There is a website where they all gather, and “investigate” together. Maybe you should check it out. May be more fulfilling than whatever it is you do here…

I read this and about lost it :joy:

Glad to brighten your day :sunny:

To be fair, those sleuths tend to use factual evidence to support their… sleuthing. In this particular case, it’s a combination of “that person plays more than I do”, “that person plays differently than I do”, “I don’t understand their playstyle”, and “I heard from someone else”. Basically a whole bunch of conjecture.

You do not know what lines of evidence (emphasis on plural) that I provided to Blizzard. I told you that these 28 accounts played >2,100 hours as of December 31. However, there are other tell-tale signs if you know how to look.

According to Blizzard, those hours were apparently illegitimate. You can say what you will, but my suspicions based on in game facts and logical reasoning proved correct as illustrated by the recent ban wave.

Using logic based upon the “evidence” you’ve provided here thus far, it boils down to:

Show us the email where Blizzard stated this. Otherwise, you’re making outrageous claims that nobody here is going to believe.

He has to adhere to the forum rules and cannot be as specific as he wants most likely and I get that.

Why quote a contradiction? But sure why not.
It still baffles the mind why continue to post if you have the audacity to post nobody cares and continue to post. If you truly don’t care, then move on sir. Banning cheaters is important to many of us.

Since one can not name and shame on the forum, I can not go into detail.

Ask yourself some basic questions:

There was a banwave on September 15.

Of those banned, how many leveled their first character to level 70 on September 15-20 on an alt that ultimately played >20 hours per day for the rest of the season?

How many had the sense to change their “first name” of their batteltag or change clans?

How many were smart enough not to use a variant name of one of their prior (pre-S27) banned or extreme hour accounts?

How many just kept playing with the same group of friends (some of which were repeatedly banned for botting themselves)?

You can name on the forum, this has been explained to you already more than once in detail. Shaming is not allowed as it falls under harassment.

Thank you for proving that you based it all off conjecture and guessing.

You really are quite a sleuth.

It is basic deduction when interrogating analytically the facts and the information provided in game. In early January, I reported 28 accounts that were suspicious to me based on >2,100 hours played as well as other evidence. Blizzard banned at least 27 of these accounts where I do not know the status of the 28th account.

I know that you are being facetious, but Blizzard proved me right. All the crap that I had to deal with about conjecture, only a single miscreant account, all was a load of junk.

Fact is at least 27/28 were definitely right according to Blizzard. The status of one of 28 is unknown to me.

The proof is the leaderboard and Blizzard’s player career webpages.

Just look at the #1 rank S27 4 man leaderboard. How many players does it have? If it is less than 4 and you go to those “missing” players career webpage. You will notice that its last update was 5:19pm PST yesterday. When did the banwave hit yesterday? Hint: 5:19pm PST.

Which is something you have proved several times that you are not capable of doing, unfortunately.

You claim you did this. I can claim all day long that I told the cops about 100 criminals and 99 of them were arrested but that doesn’t necessarily make it so.

Oh know, I couldn’t be more serious.

Unfortunately, given your post history, this is highly likely to be fictitious.

All of your “evidence” was conjecture.

Fact: I invented the internet.

A.K.A. “Trust me, bro”

Yes, we do. You already stated it in a long-winded post previously. It was hours played, and clan tag :rofl:

You reported 28 accounts to blizzard, which they were already aware of. If anyone actually spent the time to read your email, I sure they spent much less time to press the delete button.

You think you have uncovered all these great secrets, and everyone else is oh so very dumb compared to you. In fact it only shows how naïve you are, and that you have too much time on your hands.

You have missed the point…

You just quoted a part of my post, like I’m not against bots/cheaters, and reply to this “quote”.

Try to be coherent, really.

His “evidence” was literally play time, and clan tags, and he has said it in previous posts. All his cryptic messages such as “You do not know what lines of evidence (emphasis on plural)”, are just bs to make him appear more credible than he is. It’s working very well…

Not really :stuck_out_tongue:

It was interesting how once that last thread was deleted, he stopped posting for a while and his other account started posting again. Now that he’s posting on this account, his main stopped posting.

Yes, I was being facetious.

Eh, there is no point in speculating. Without a doubt the 4 accounts, MicroRNA, Callipygee, DarkKnight, & ShadowDragon are the same person.

Why a person who barely plays the game feels the need to have 4 accounts with posts totalling in the 4 digits is the only interesting thing to speculate about IMO.

I did not stop posting. I reduced my posting frequency because I had already sent my e-mail to Blizzard. At that point, it was just a waiting game to see what happened when the next banwave arrived.

It has arrived and confirmed what I stated on the forum without going into specific details where I had the latitude to directly say the evidence to Blizzard’s hack team in concise, yet sufficiently detailed fashion.

This is two columns of the five column table that I included in my e-mail. The other columns were: battletag, clan, “notes”. The notes column had additional evidence for multiple accounts. For the “big” three that had annoyed me the most, I went into far more detail tracing back their misbehavior for multiple past seasons with a more detailed narrative. The information below is S27 hours/paragon when the season was ~3,040 hours old on December 31, 2022. This data was directly from Blizzard in game information.

27 of 28 were banned by Blizzard. I do not know the status of one of the 28.

And as stated many times. They deleted your email, and went on with their normal process. You accomplished nothing aside from wasting your time. You provided no evidence, and as mentioned, you used play time and clan tag. Your “notes” were probably even more dubious than the critera you mentioned, or you would have included them as well.
