Classic is going to become a game where

Priesthokage-netherwind · June 23, 2020, 1:51am

You say that as you’re camping the auction house flipping items. Logged out on your warrior, literally doing nothing in the world.

Hawne-blaumeux · June 23, 2020, 1:52am

Yes, because I’m about to head off to grab dinner so I don’t want my dslayer/Rend to melt

Priesthokage-netherwind · June 23, 2020, 1:52am

I’m sure your warrior sees a lot of time out in the open world, camping out while you flip items.

Hawne-blaumeux · June 23, 2020, 1:53am

My warrior has 128 days played (since the last time I checked). Granted 50% of that was probably waiting for BGs to pop, but like the rest has mostly been open world play.

Hawne-blaumeux · June 23, 2020, 1:54am

Bother to check my spec for most of those raids? I’m not sure what you think an MS warrior without buffs is going to do in raids, but it ain’t going to be 80+% dps parses.

Priesthokage-netherwind · June 23, 2020, 1:55am

You came into my thread, talking about how you enjoy activities in the open world, but you admitted to camping out on your main, flipping items in the auction house.

Hawne-blaumeux · June 23, 2020, 1:58am

Yeah, and then you made some dumb comment about parses so you’re retreating to that nonsense.

When did I claim my main is camped out at the AH. He’s sitting in silithus waiting for me to finish eating dinner.

Priesthokage-netherwind · June 23, 2020, 1:59am

you have 128 days played time in a game that’s been out for less than a year, and your average parse is 40% (AND YOU GET WORLD BUFFS). You know you can use a keyboard, AND a mouse right?

Hawne-blaumeux · June 23, 2020, 2:00am

I’ve gotten world buffs for the past 3 or 4 weeks since I decided to try parsing after I hit rank 12 and quit pvping.

I didn’t get buffs before that, and I rarely even used many pots. What did you expect.

Go look at those parses if you really care, most of them I just showed up to the raid after a bg finished; other than hitting MS/WW/Hamstring/Heroic Strike, not much else a warrior in that situation does.

Priesthokage-netherwind · June 23, 2020, 2:00am

You’re very good at contradicting yourself. Don’t you have a dinner to go to?

Pilloweater-proudmoore · June 23, 2020, 2:05am

Sorry, I was farming some ore. There’s not much to really argue here because you have no proof of your claim. The only thing you could prove (which you have yet to do) is that 27 characters are in statholme. You have no way of knowing if they are bots or not, as you don’t have access to the powerful technology that blizzard has.

Leave it to Blizzard to decide who is botting. You need proof, not an assumption.

False ban on a R13 Horde (Arugal) Character

My main character is a Lv. 60 Shaman on Arugal-OCE called Kimbrry.

I have been ranking since April and am one week away (after this week’s reset) to hitting Rank 14. This morning I woke up to my account being banned for ‘Botting or Hacking’, but I have purely been queuing for Battlegrounds and have been heavily World PvPing for about an average of 17-20 hours a day for the last few weeks.

I have never used any scripts or botted throughout my time playing Classic, nor have I account shared and I have not been AFKing in Battlegrounds or using any kind of hacks either, so I’m not sure why I would have my account closed / perma-banned so suddenly.

I’ve tried to submit a ticket but I’m not sure when / if they will reply. Has anyone ever experienced this before and does anyone know how to get it resolved? I can’t access their live chat / call back either.

Priesthokage-netherwind · June 23, 2020, 2:05am

Make a character on netherwind and do /who on strat

Pilloweater-proudmoore · June 23, 2020, 2:06am

This point still stands.

Priesthokage-netherwind · June 23, 2020, 2:07am

Guildless mages, with random letter names. Are these companies paying you to argue on the forums or something?

Zoey-hyjal · June 23, 2020, 2:07am

ok that’s enough out of you

Actions Taken to Address Exploitative Gameplay

We use powerful systems to determine if the suspected player is using an identifiable cheat, and our heuristics (which we do not outline publicly) are constantly improving and evolving. But when we examine a suspect and these measurements aren’t out of line, we have to manually gather evidence against the accused player, which can be very time consuming and complex. It’s worthwhile though, because we never want to take action against a legitimate player.

Yes, there have been cases where a legitimate player appeared (to another player) to be botting. In those cases, where a legitimate player is reported and then cleared of wrongdoing, it can be very frustrating to the reporting player to again see what they think is a bot. We’ve also seen examples where the reported player was caught exploiting the game, and was removed from the game, and then quickly returned to doing the same thing on a new account with the same character name. That’s an infuriating sight for the players who initially reported it. We greatly appreciate your reports, and we understand how you feel about this.

They actually defend themselves quite perfectly, have a gander here. What you are seeing is not necessarily “bots” just because you think they are.

Priesthokage-netherwind · June 23, 2020, 2:09am

You’re literally being paid to argue for these botting companies, aren’t you?

Maully-thunderfury · June 23, 2020, 2:09am

This seems like something that’ll happen because of a 30 instance per day cap. Much logic, well reasoned, wow.

Priesthokage-netherwind · June 23, 2020, 2:10am

Well, they’re more than likely going to make it so it’s not possible to boost, then they’re going to make it so that items that drop on grey mobs don’t give as much loot (to combat just farming the instance). Then they’re probably going to hotfix PvP premades.

Chucktaurus-kromcrush · June 23, 2020, 2:10am

Wait you couldnt get that name in classic?

Or did you just decide to not make it your name in game?
