Has anyone experienced this or a guildee/friend?
He is one of the mages so not a buyer and has never bought gold
His account was banned for “buying gold” for 2 weeks
Is there any reasonable explanation here?
If its selling items to botted or bought gold that happens 24/7 in GDKPS so were all at a loss.
Yeah sure he’s totally innocent.
You wanna know what happened ? He bought gold and lied to you. Or I’m assuming your friend is actually you and you bought gold and are trying to lie about it. I know 20+ people who bought gold, maybe 3-4 got banned. There is no way they are making mistakes they can barely handle even banning 25% of the buyers.
He was probably selling it.
Are you posting in regard to yourself?
There is a possibility he was just being spam reported by people for suspicion of being being a bot, and the entirely automated system just did what automated systems do.
That being said, given the specific accusation of buying gold and not of botting or attempting to sell gold, it feels less likely.
ok, well thanks for zero help…
to answer a few questions:
long time friend since WoD. know each other IRL at this point, talk everyday. Not a liar we stream while we play his gold never went up in any questionable manner.
He is also not selling.
If anyone has experienced this or know of it, it would be helpful. he has appealed.’
you guys have become far too bitter with life. I have no reason to lie to strangers while asking for help.
For what it’s worth, I have heard of rival gold farmers reporting each other to try to cause bans.
Or yeah, it’s possible he was in a GDKP with dirty gold.
I love it when people get suspended for cheating.
Thanks!
How will he feed his village now?
Yes.
Your friend was the victim of a nefarious scheme by a vicious international cabal.
I would immediately have your friend protest this injustice to the customer service forum.
The Stone Masons strike again!
“There is no way Blizzard is making mistakes”
Just read that a few times looool
He probably bought gold then and lied to you. Or selling it.
Then there’s the times when he plays and doesn’t stream. Got wrecked.
it’s rare for blizzard to just give you 1reason for any suspended account
you sure the ban message from blizzard had only reason “buy gold”? or it had more reasons? also did it contain “CS will not undo this ban” or not? and more importantly does it say “we’re removing the gold” ?
if you’re friend is innocent as he claims it’s super rare that blizzard would ban him, even if they was tracking bot user or gold buyer and your friend sold swp item to that bot user/gold buyer, when that happen? Blizzard will track your friend for while before they take action! and if your friend was trading gold they would put reason “trading real currency for in game items or something” But that isn’t the case so your friend is not a gold seller, if your friend used automation the ban would be longer so only 1option left…which is your friend bought gold in the past few weeks at some point and they banned him now.
if he’s not your in real life friend then it’s less likely that he would tell you that he bought gold anyway.
Players cannot ban other players with right-click reports. It’s an absurd claim and entirely unreasonable.
Blizzard hands out suspensions via automated systems rofl, y’all are clueless.
Someone might be falsely suspended and you’re all proud of it rofl.
These are the people in supposed to be building my community around?
Your “friend” bought gold.
Players cannot ban other players with right-click reports. If it was possible to do this, a multiboxer would be able to function as GM and ban all the bots that players claim to see inside dungeons all day. This hasn’t happened on any server, there’s no video of such a thing happening because such a thing isn’t possible.
I had a guy on this forum claim he could get me suspended in-game at the “drop of a hat”.
He then proceeded to make all sorts of excuses for why I wasn’t banned after him trying to mass report me for an hour.
