BG Ban wave. Blizzard needs to address this

Or the countless communities in their discords telling everyone to spam report people in AVs purely to make Queues go down. Its a mixture of toxicity that just needs to be redacted.

What fictional universe do you live in where pvp happens in your typical av?

Bwahahahaha. Blizz doesn’t do thorough investigations, it isn’t worth the money. They didn’t even investigate all the harrassment claims in their own offices.

Oh I’m not defending people being banned for sitting in a tower, I’ve done it plenty; it’s part of the BG. I’m just saying that it’s absurd to believe the right-click report system automatically bans people. People literally just need to calm down and think about that for a second to realize it’s just not true.

I too received the 30-day suspension. 30 Days is a little extreme for first offenders and compared to other more serious offenses. Also, AV is broken and is partly to blame for the terrible META. If you don’t want people maximizing their time by leveling in AV, you shouldn’t allow XP to be earned. If I pay for a game, I should be able to play it however I please, even if it’s sitting idle in a cave. If you have bad game mechanics, that’s on the developer.

You’re doing it again, and ignored 80% of what was said. What is that 80%, you may ask? It’s in the statement I just made above, and I have no need to repeat it.

The irony of it all is “we can’t know if Blizzard is telling the truth or what the truth even is” is your defense, yet your argument with our friend up above was “believe Blizzard because they made this statement about their moderation and this is how it works because they said so.” What an absolute contradiction.

And if you don’t know whether or not they were telling the truth in court, or don’t know whether or not they’d tell the truth about this, why are you telling us to believe them? I have a feeling you do simply believe them in this instance. I have no idea as to why. That’s why I guessed naivety.

If you’re going to reply to almost nothing in my thoughtful responses, I’ll keep them short and sweet.

I wonder when you people will actually come up with new material. It’s honestly getting pretty pathetic

There’s other things to fight in AV besides players.

Even in a pure zerg you should be doing something.

How dumb is this comment, lol. You’re not taking advantage of anything its how blizzard intended it

Right now read what I said, yes it’s stupid that low levels can queue into max level AV, that one is on blizzard. That doesn’t mean the people doing so aren’t abusing the bad design.

you implied they’re abusing it by just doing it.

AV is the most dangerous BG to play. Almost everyone I’ve heard thats getting banned has solely been playing AV. Whatever crap automation software blizzard has running to detect AFK’s is obscenely broken. It can’t differentiate waiting for a tower to cap or defending, it just bans you.

I didn’t imply it, I flat out stated it.

The worst part is that we spend $80 on a package, get a boost and start playing their game purely for Wrath. Been active on WoW for 11 years and never one action against my account and the first ban, wrongfully, is 30 days and I miss something I’ve been planning for 6 months.

Okay, ill go back. “How dumb is this comment”

I’m addressing 100% of the relevant portions and cutting out the irrelevant rambling portions, yes, that’s correct.

That’s not my argument. This is either a reading comprehension issue on your part or a disingenous strawman, take your pick. I’ve always said this:

It’s not just “believe Blizzard”, it’s “believe Blizzard, the proof, critical thinking, logic, and all evidence which points to one conclusion”. You should probably keep up with conversations you’re interjecting in.

Read above.

I reply to the thoughtful portions. If that’s only 20% of your post, that’s something you need to reflect on.

Not dumber than pretending a level 61 in AV can do anything useful.

My cousin was streaming his AV’s on discord. He was running into a mountainside for 3 hours playing the Peggle addon. He didn’t get banned.

The bans are going out after players are getting reported and Blizzard is looking into the reports. Some people are probably getting suspended after defending towers and what not, I don’t agree with that but it’s not some automated system detecting you doing 0 damage for x games or whatever.

Doesn’t matter, that’s how the game was intended and works.
