Blizzard ban accounts for seemingly incomprehensible reasons

Interestingly, the timing of the email I received matched hers exactly, which indicates that my account was idling in the background while I was playing on her no-longer-used account. This then resulted in both of our accounts being banned simultaneously.

I think you now have the reason why you’ve both been perma’d.

In which case, I have NO idea if the situation is salvageable. At best you’re going to have to explain you’re account sharing, and that’s not likely to get the accounts back. But you can try.

Thank you for your response. I’ve submitted an appeal to Blizzard Taiwan, and I’m hoping for a positive outcome. :melting_face:

If you haven’t spent any money on the game recently then they probably don’t want you here anyways. Account sharing is basically against the terms though and once they put 2 and 2 together it’s probably over.

Daycare with battle passes.

In fact, I’ve collected all the skins, including the discontinued Chengdu Hunters and Philadelphia Fusion league skins, all the passes since Overwatch 2, reaching level 200 every season, as well as playing in the PvE mode.

I think this is the issue. Maybe one of your so call friends was using some kind of hack. Blizzard is now banning friends of hackers if you were grouped.

My account was banned for 2w for saying ā€˜Free Palestine’

No need to be political in a place where we are trying to escape reality.

Welcome to the club. I had never been actioned in 7 years. Now I’ve been actioned 3 times this month. The system has clearly been broken somehow in the last few weeks.

Why was the email in Chinese?

Blizz Does not care about its players or its workers OR ITS GAME. PERIOD.

I’m so sorry to hear that man

It’s their stupid automated system based on X amount of reports.

I got chat silenced for a while (I won’t say I didn’t deserve it, but all I did was insult back people who started it by insulting me first for no reason with stuff like ā€œuninstall, kidā€, ā€œgo back to training rangeā€, and telling me to off myself. Of course, nothing happened to them).
When it wore off, I stopped doing that and only responded to people asking questions like ā€œwhat’s your favorite condiment?ā€, complimenting people who got a nice shot on me, thanking our support at the end of the match and maybe occasionally saying ā€œman, stomps suckā€ when being hard stomped.

3 days later I got a popup telling me that my behavior is not in line. I’ll probably get another chat silence unless I go completely silent. The first chat silence probably lowered the threshold needed and now only a couple reports from angry or toxic people are going to trigger the automated system.

Point is, they don’t review, and X amount of reports will eventually get you actioned depending on what you’re reported for. You’re lucky if it’s just Inappropriate Communication, but if people decide to false report you enough for Cheating then you’ll get perma’d.

Alts are free, no worries.

I find it amusing how players who get permabanned are stunned & confused as to why when deep down they know the reason but are too ashamed to admit it so they gaslight themselves into believing they’ve done nothing wrong.

You were banned for a reason.

I’ve never even been silenced because im
Not toxic.

They’ve updated their tracking tools and enforce their CoC and ToS now finally as they should’ve decade ago. Where as before such things as smurfing, boosting, account sharing and other various activities rarely got suspended due to their problems of tracking the behavior without consistent massive patterns from shady parts of the world or VPN provider IP’s or something along those lines; they now can do it without any of those and do it accurately. Someone would be completely in the wrong to rely on their previous shortcomings setting precedence over what is allowed and what is not and then making decisions based on that. Because these actions were never allowed and were actionable things to engage with, they just couldn’t enforce them

But not everything you collected on your original account, that will then cost over a thousand dollars to get again, and some that are unattainable.

If they were different ranks, it looks like hard core smurfing or throwing.
