A large number of people who took advantage of prepatch to play AV are being banned. There is no way this amount of people afk’d/non participated the battleground. Your system is broken and needs to be fixed. The rules need changed.
Perhaps we can get a blue post to tell us how we are getting banned? People are now actively avoiding doing pvp at all because they are afraid of getting falsely banned. People are afraid to defend towers/bunkers in av now.
Note: Customer support said to make threads in this forum instead of CS if we believe something needs changed. Please stop locking these threads as were are literally being told to make them here.
If you were caught up in this ban wave be sure to appeal using the link below. If your appeal was answered and you were unbanned/kept banned please let us know!
BIG UPDATE: People are being unbanned! If you have not received an email in response to your ticket be sure to just check your account and try to log in. Some people are not getting emails but their accounts have been unbanned.
I have personally been unbanned as of 11PM EST 9/5
Another update: Blizzard has responded to the afk bans.
It takes time
you lose game time
and it’s extremely aggravating (no one innocent should be banned due to a TRASH system, and yes, it’s automated; ie; so many people at ONCE)
It is a crapshoot. People getting banned for rushing vann, people getting banned for going shb and iwb and then north when they cap. People getting banned for killing other players in field of strife. If you played double digit hours of av a ban is likely.
Innocent players in this really get the shaft. Take however long to appeal and get un banned when you literally did nothing wrong. Sounds like awesome customer service.
