For sure horde ranking can be tough. Every rank 13 I knew was sleep deprived. Alliance often have similar caps and get instant queues so they don’t have to play as much.
Yeah, but it is my second last week and I just had to do the final push because next week is AV weekend and my final week to 14. Had too little leeway to not make hard-cap, unfortunately. Yesterday I managed to hit cap, so I slept in today and woke up like late noon to a ban lol

I mean in some places people weren’t allowed outside and had nothing else to do so its not that unreasonable. I wasn’t allowed outside since march because I had corona with no symptoms and all I had to do with play wow 24/7.
Today is the first day I am allowed to go to the gym.
Gonna be a nice day.

In California they are just starting to open things up. Gyms are not one of them. My guess is they’ll be one of the last businesses to open in the state. It wouldn’t shock me if some of the non chain gyms will go out of business or have already.
Hopefully, you get this resolved. I’m sure after hitting rank 14, you’ll feel like sleeping for a week straight.
CA and TX are going to have to close again. Big old spiky COVID there.

Yep. Not trying to sound insensitive, that’ll insure I get to telework for even longer, which I like.

Are you actually contributing while in the BGs, or merely queueing into them and then simply existing?
They’re actually starting to issue 7 to 14 day bans to R13 players who’ve been abusing premades to rank. This has the effect of delaying their ranking significantly and disincentivizing premade groups abusing pugs.

It’s almost like Bliizard doesn’t want/expect you to be R13 in a day or be PreRaid BiS from dungeon spamming in a day or something…

Except premades aren’t even remotely against the rules and if they did that they would be in violation of their own Code of Conduct and open for lawsuit.
You don’t even think through what you write do you?
Uhhh, they completely banned AV premades without a lawsuit. Are you practicing law without a license here? In many states, that is illegal.

Are you sure about that?
This term makes me laugh.
Hardcore ranker. Sounds like a person who really needs a life to me. I can’t imagine being in a state where I play a game for that much or that long and consider it a healthy lifestyle.

uh huh, you mean they openly announced it then did it. You missed an entire step.
When you violate your own company policies without given clause or forward address you are in violation.
Banning people for premades under false pretenses falls under this. If they openly said no more premades and went through the process of course there is nothing to do. However banning people for playing premades and labeling it something else is a lawsuit.
You can not falsely ban someone, you can change the policy and rules then do it. They said banning premades under pretenses of exploiting which it isn’t. That is a violation of policy. The part you are missing is the middle part of the reasoning not the beginning or end point.
The only reason companies get away with it is because they can smugly sit back and claim you have no evidence. However, people give up quite easily when you have evidence. Normally you can ban at your discretion however, when it’s done under false pretenses is the snag.
Blizzard bans you because they can, yes.
Blizzard bans you for playing premades and say’s you were exploiting which is clearly detailed in their policies, no.
Considering Blizzard’s response to botting, I’m inclined to actually believe you. LOL

While sleep requirements vary slightly from person to person, most healthy adults need between 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night to function at their best. Children and teens need even more. And despite the notion that our sleep needs decrease with age, most older people still need at least 7 hours of sleep .
I’m all for them saving your life.

Not exactly this situation, but I did receive a ban once during Wrath. I submitted a ticket, and upon review they lifted the ban. I believe the turnaround was less than 24 hours.
