These topics are getting out of hand and I sense there a lot of liars. I farmed AV for a whole week about 10 hours a day before prepatch on my warrior AND farmed AV/WSG for 3-4 days for 6-8 hours on my DK after hitting 70 and haven’t been banned.
The big issue is people in AV go to a tower and sit at it with Netflix on another screen and say “I’m defending” and then die instantly to a 1v20. At this point you’re not defending you’re giving free honor to the other team.
Sure but still, 7 days mute automated as false report is pretty bad.
Just because it didn’t happen to you it didn’t happen, right? That blue post explaining there was a “error in data analytics” that caused unwarranted bans must’ve been fake news, right?
It happened to me. I can confirm I played the game 100% of the time, yet was wrongly banned for a short time.
I am inclined to believe EVERYONE this time around.
Furthermore, your straw man argument is still participating. It’s the literal bare minimum (ie, standing on an objective), but that’s the minimum to participate. You’re still contributing, even if only barely. It should not, ever, ever, be ban worthy for standing on an objective.
Ever.
Congrats, you escaped their “error in data analytics” that caused unwarranted bans!
That’s not the point – the point is this error is shining light on a real policy issue: defending an objective is bannable if you never saw an enemy the entire time.
And that’s 100% ridiculous. The literal bare minimum bar for participating should be “did the player go to an objective.”
Sure, it’s a low bar, but the bar nonetheless.
You should never, ever, ever, ever, be at risk of a ban for standing on an objective. I don’t care what you do – if you’re on an objective, you’re participating.
remember that time Blizzard accidentally automatedly banned literally thousands of WoW classic players for no reason?
their automation is abhorrent and leads to innocent players being mistaken by poorly-trained AIs / algorithms, which can’t truly evaluate circumstances like humans can.
Either that or get no honor, then removed from BG w debuff, that’s how afk report works. Thank your fellow players. If doesn’t ban you though, it kicks you out. They can review afks and take action after though.
So you also failed to read the linked post about how they had a literal technical error in the review process, and after another review of those banned while the bug was active, they unbanned only those that were not afk.
As in, they acknowledged that some of the bans were wrong, unbanned them, and even reduced the ban for a lot of the actual AFKers. There’s quite literally nothing left to discuss.
30 day bans for all of the above, minimum, as far as I’m concerned. It gets tiring finding stealthed druids hiding behind trees, only to see the same names pop up and claim they totally never afk.
That’s not what the Blue post said. The blue post said you could stand on an objective and never see an opponent for the entire match and get banned.
That’s the issue. Not a stealthed druid hiding in the trees.
There is, actually, as this is exposing a BS policy that holding an objective is bannable if you happen to not get on the damage/healing meters because no one showed up while you sat there.
It was confirmed by a Blue, and double-downed again. That’s worthy of continued discussion.
THAT blue post said that there’s nothing stopping players from reporting players who are defending, and that after being reviewed it could be found they were in fact AFK.
The blue post I’m referencing, which is linked by me in this comment thread and is linked in the GM response at the top of this thread, says exactly what I had said.
If you can’t keep up between two separate comments, then please work on that before responding to the topic.
Defending objectives is TOTALLY valid and SHOULD NEVER result in a ban. If you defend farm and no one tried to take farm the entire game, you should NOT get in trouble.
That’s what he’s saying dude. He’s not arguing against it.
This bottom line and point is we were lied to;
