In my honest opinion, video game companies should just provide the reasoning behind a ban. One thats not just generic, like full detail of what was picked up and what can be done to reolve it. “Its to prevent hack/bots/third-party software from finding out about their product being detected. So they cant tweak it to make it better from being detected.” Thats a vague statement and those wrongfully banned or banned for no reason are left in the dark.
Third-party software developers are going to find out sooner or later why their product was detected and tweak it to make it less detected. It happens all the time just look at COD. Its like $30/day or month for these cheats and when they’re picked up the developer already knows and is working on the next fix to make it harder to detect.
It would make since to those who are not cheating or running third-party software to gain advantage to know what it was that got them banned. That way it provides evidence to why they were banned, they can submit their appeal, get unbanned, and then not have that process running in the back ground or “hey, my crypto miner was detected and thats the reason I was banned. How does that affect the game play of diablo?”
Just want to make it clear I was not banned and this post is just a complaint for other players, because I can see where they are coming from.

No one cares what you think bro. They don’t tell the full details for a reason. It’s not because they are lazy. It’s on purpose.

There is always a reason!
I never said they were lazy, bro. Just that regardless, the cheats for the game are going to find out regardless. Because cheaters will post on the forums, for these cheats, that their accounts got banned using these cheats. But it would make sense to make it known why other players, who have been wrongfully banned, were banned for (insert software here), for example crypto miners or some other unrelated software that has nothing to do with D4.
I could also say the same to you “No one cares what you have to think.” As you have 4100 posts defending a game that doesnt care about you, just your wallet. I see you posting on every thread in this forum with always some backlash against those voicing their opinions on why the game sucks.
The reason is always vague and generic. ICUE has a mode to where you can create macro’s. Will diablo pick that up as third party software even though I dont run macro’s in a game that has no reason to macro in?

You are not allowed to use macros regardless of what software does them.
They can tell if your key presses are on a set interval. They don’t need to detect the software.
They do bans in waves and don’t give information so that nobody knows what got them banned. Cheaters will usually use multiple cheats/exploits and won’t know which one of them got them banned.
If Blizz were to just tell them “you did X so you got banned” they would just stop doing that 1 thing and still do the other things.
The vast majority of bans are for people that deserve it. Yes there’s a lot of people claiming they were banned for no reason, most of them are lying. A few are banned that shouldn’t have been, and they will usually (and mostly have already) be unbanned shortly afterwards.
There’s a few that are trying to get unbanned and if they were accidentally caught in the net will likely get unbanned successfully.
Nothing needs to change on their end. People just need to stop cheating/using exploits and then complaining when they get caught.

Funny, because I can set them on random intervals. Just no reason to do so in D4, a game that requires constant clicking and I guess its only real purpose would be to AFK a resource node, that I dont even know if it respawns or not, what its time rate is.
That makes sense, I could see why they wouldnt provide that information for that purpose. But just for that purpose alone.
Go ahead, do it and see what happens. 
This isn’t WOW. They will ban you, permanently.
Have fun.
Points:
A people will tell you, you are botting
B people will tell you, you deserve it, no reason given
C people will tell you, you deserve it, because you play to much
D people will tell you, you deserve it, because you trade
Conclusion, don’t post bans on forum, nobody will side with you.
I mean if they dont give a reason they are lazy, or worse dont care.
Mistakes happen. Even if he was rightly banned they should have given a reason.
After all they over charged us 70$+ for what was clearly a 35$ alpha game. Its quite pathetic of blizzard if its true that they gave no reason.

They do give a reason. They are not required to give specifics. Read the EULA.

Neither are they required to give you a game that actually works. So im not surprised lol.

Never said I was going to do it. No reason to run a macro, this game relies on too much clicking that would be difficult to set up and a waste of my time to try and set one up. I was just using the software as an example. Becuase that same software, that I can set up as a macro for key pressing and mouse clicking, is also what controls my Corsair products
Well whats the reason for being banned for no reason? lmao
stupid Thread. Anotha one
GDPR is your best friend.
To be fair back in BC i got banned because i got hacked while i was on vacation. They thankfully returned everything to me, guy even destroyed my hearth stone LOL.
Point is mistakes happen. When i see devs not give a reason all i can think is they clearly dont care about their customers.
If that wasn’t obvious already from the fact we got charged 70$ for an alpha game where a core feature like resistances still dont work rofl.

This does happen from time to time and a lot more frequent than you know. When the forums get bum rushed from players all running the same software that supposedly got them banned and that same software has no real reason to get them banned, because it does not interfere in D4 or anyother blizzard games. You know somethings up and someone on blizzards end made a mistake. But no one. other than those on blizzards end, will not the real reason to why they were banned. But I guess it is possible that something other than Chia was also being ran at the same time.
There reasons are in the EULA, go read that and never do any of that.
Personal Incredulity at best right there.
The minority ruin things for the majority. This is a well known and established fact the world over.
A couple of people do something bad, and suddenly millions or billions of people are negatively impacted by rules and regulations put in place to stop that from happening.
Games are no different.
People attack and abuse systems all the time. You’d be surprised just how many hacks are ongoing at any one time against a system. The reason that they don’t give details about the reasoning behind something, is the very same reason that when something goes wrong in a website, or an API etc… you get an “oops, something went wrong” message, instead of a detailed rundown of what exactly went wrong.
Some people will exploit anything at any chance they get, so to stop those few people from doing that, the rest of us have to live with the consequences of their attacks.
If you can’t understand this, then there’s nothing else to say.
I’ve yet to see some one banned without a reason, the fact the email may have fell into their spam folder isn’t Blizzards fault, but there’s always a reason. Obviously if they gave out specifics people could easily abuse the system, and continue to exploit in a way that wouldn’t get them automatically banned.
In the event it was a false positive, and the person was banned for suspicion of abusing an exploit, RMT, or other known cause, they are allowed to appeal the ban. Hopefully a live person will actually look at the logs, and see that this person was in fact just a victim of an automated ban.
Given how many false positives there seem to be lately, some one needs to look at their coding for their automated ban bot, while another team helps people restore their accounts.
