its not 6 days its 30 and its bs to the people that spent countless hours playing the bg even into the wee hours of the morning. It was a grind. i got holy s2 gear to replace my poop boosted greens so i could switch and heal and its all for nothing now.
Wrath is out sept 26th. why could i continue to support blizz if I cant even play the game that mattered to me. I never play retail.
I AFK’d AVs and have been banned but where does it say you cant AFK BGs can anyone link me the ruling? I thought if the game doesn’t determine me a “deserter” I’d be fine.
Because blizzard doesn’t make mistakes…gestures to the RMT ban wave a few weeks ago where people who literally stream wow constantly were banned with no evidence to show
You don’t have any proof it’s automated. We have to word of Blizzard.
If you ignore Blizzard, then why stop there. Why not say the Alien Overlords that run Blizzard told them to ban a bunch of innocent people
Let’s be clear, you have no idea what they did in the past, what they did while they weren’t streaming, etc. Actions they did months ago could’ve helped trigger the suspension earned today.
How do you know it’s automated?
How do you know they’re lying?
No, people are allowed to have an expectation that others will participate in the BG. It’s a reasonable expectation that others will follow the EULA.
I was also banned once for botting. I was using console port addon to use a controller to play wow. Banned 6 months.
I got it overturned but not until 3 days of appeals.
Ignorant people on those posts also said “Shouldn’t have been botting”.
They even got a community council guy
And pray tell, who is going to be the judge of that?
You who are so anti-LFD, but who also have no problem using the random BGs when it suits you.
Banning people for being AFK makes sense. Banning them for defending a point is not. I find it very hard to use damage and healing numbers as a blind taste test that can determine that.
Then, if that was the case and they did determine it I also find it very hard to believe that 30 days is the level of ban for that behavior. For sure on first time offenses.
3 days? 7 days? Beyond that just really really to much. This won’t fix que issues. I see all the forum posts that pop up nightly saying its a huge problem. So this won’t fix that. All it will do is ruin a lot of peoples wotlk launch experiences. A lot of people probably won’t return for it either.
So if you absolutely need to punish people ok, put a ban on them. But 30 days? Insanely to far. That is like botting levels of banning and we all know how little that happens when you do a /who and see 2000 rogues with the name asdkolasf of something similar in BRD pick pocking 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
The players and Blizzard themselves.
Why are we derailing with LFD?
I’m not derailing. So. I’ll explain how these two are connected…
May the innocent be unbanned, and the guilty stay banned, but only for a week.
They streamed all their AV’s. We’ve both been on paid vacations from work to play prepatch and gear up for the coming expac. So i’ve been in them, or I’ve been grinding professions watching them.
As far as “actions months ago” We quit at the start of TBC. He hasn’t played in over a years time.
Stop white knighting. Its okay to accept that the billion dollar corporation is in the wrong sometimes.
Banned until right before prepatch launches*. Shouldn’t be able to come back only to do it again
Subsequent offenders bans should be increased for sure.
How do you know? How do you know they didn’t do an AV off-stream? Are you with them 24/7?
Could’ve been actions taken years ago too. They look for patterns Xemni.
Yes it is. Thread is about BGs and Blizzard’s reporting system. It’s not about LFD.
The point is to discourage you from doing it in the first place, as by the time you have been kicked you have already screwed over your team.
And I know for a fact this is not the case. One of my guild members who got banned was active in Discord the entire time he was grinding these, telling us about it, actively engaged. He has more HK’s then alot of us now as well as other BG achievements. There was absolutely no “pattern” of behavior here other than enjoying your new character. So your supposition here is just flat out incorrect.
Yes, I live with him LMAO. I literally know when the dude goes to sleep. We even eat meals together. We took the time to efficiently grind out gear. If anything, I’ve been on the game more than he has.
So I’ll give my 100% true and unbiased account of my brothers ban.
We have both been queuing AV, him leveling (non boosted, he has a now 67 warrior from classic wow but never played tbc really until now).
Every match we would either
A) Rush to Drek, cap those two towers, and help kill Drek.
B) Rush IBT/Tower Point. After capping we always defend it. A lot of time we dont get any damage done but if someone isnt there to defend it will be backcapped, and your odds of winning are down a lot plus you dont get the tower cap honor.
If in B) they do wipe us and back cap, we spawn all the way north on “Defense”. Productive options are few at this point. If its a close game we try to make it back to Drek. Sometimes that isnt possible and the horde just farms. Sometimes its a “turtle” and at that point he would kill harpies, but isnt that more productive then letting the other team one-shotting the 67 warrior in molten core gear?
He got a 30 day suspension I did not. I am 70. I would like to also note we have buddies we play with who are dual boxing leveling multiple characters at once rushing the harpy cave every other match and they have not been banned. Meanwhile my brother went to the harpy cave as a last resort a grand total of 3 times in over 100 matches.
You can choose to believe what I said or not. But that is 100% factual representation. He also never afked besides once when he got deserter yesterday because his puppy took a dump in the middle of the room and he had to pick it up.
