Permaban due to abusive language - account lost forever?

At some point, Blizzard has to conclude that no amount of educational penalties is going to change your behavior. I’d wish you luck in your future gaming activities, but I suspect they’re going to have similar outcomes.

You talk as if the OP is some kind of victim who suffered some kind of injustice…

As the OP himself said, he has said horrible things and been banned several times for it, in other words, he was toxic countless times to get to this point.

RIP this account as well.

That’s because there isn’t one. OP will need to appeal until they state, in no uncertain terms, that further appeals will not be looked at.

I firmly believe this is not a place to judge one’s character: I don’t know you and vice versa, but it’s a long windy road to be banned.

I’d say being actioned multiple times and receiving in game warnings is ‘charitable’. You are given a good deal of leeway to adjust what needs adjusted.

As for other people doing unpleasant things, nothing happens if they’re not reported. Contrary to popular belief GMs aren’t just lurking about, licking their chops going ‘Boy howdy I hope someone says something nasty!’ They can only act on reports. It’s not an excuse to be unpleasant yourself.

I’m…not sure if that’s allowed? I’d be very wary of using that license for anything. Sure streamers do giveaways but whole account giveaways could be seen as a form of account sharing.

Anyway, as mentioned, you can file appeals until you can’t any further, or you can spend the money to make a new account. I don’t think making a new license works but I will also admit I never tried or had a reason to try.

Best of luck on your appeal process. If you proceed playing after this use the whole experience to try to just not be so rude to other folks. Life is short and you have options to not hear, nor join groups with, people ever again.

If you call this being strict after multiple warnings, then you’ll be in for a real surprise when it comes to the other MMO’s.

Blizzard usually does silences first, then a suspensions when it comes to toxicity via the chat in hopes that people would learn not to be toxic in there games. Eventually if the player continues, then they could see there game licenses or full account closed. Some other games don’t give any warnings at all, and even some will go as far as even a hardware ban as well.

Region wide only. Not full Bnet account wide.

So, you keep getting suspensions for toxic language, continue to use toxic language, but want to blame everyone else and Blizzard for your own actions?

There is not likely to be leniency for players who can’t seem to stop breaking the rules. I mean…

You can’t “win” another account. That is a absolute, 100%, non-negotiable violation of the rules. When trying to convince Blizzard about how sorry you are for breaking the rules, I would advise to not admit to more rule-breaking.

Seems that way. Your chances to “come back” were the first half-dozen or so suspensions that you received. Blizzard tried to educate you on how to follow the rules, but you ignored them. This would seem to be the consequences of your actions.

I guess you should’ve heeded their multiple warnings to change your behavior.

I don’t understand how you can continuously flout the rules you agreed to follow, and think nothing will happen. Your toxicity ruins other players’ enjoyment of the game.

I sounds like the OP is calling their individual WoW licenses “accounts”.

They may have won a game time key and used it on a NA WoW licence.

Everything will be available. Just not lvl 80 character.

I am sorry Batchest, but the rules for WoW have not changed in their core form since release. Those things were never allowed and if reported would be actioned by the GMs. You have experienced that with your past license penalties. That was the “charity”. You were given many chances to change your behavior and you chose not to. This is the consequence of your decision.

That others also break rules, does not excuse anyone else doing it. In real life not everyone who does bad things gets caught either. Those who do get caught don’t get away with it just because someone else escaped. Much like traffic tickets - not everyone gets pulled over. Those who do, if they get enough points on their license, get their license revoked and they can’t drive the public roads anymore.

As others said, the penalty is usually Licence specific. You can make another licence on the same Battlenet account and Region. That should allow you access to all your Warband things and Bnet wide collections. So all mounts, pets, toys, transmogs, achievements should be there with rare exceptions. Only a few things are character specific like some PvP rewards.

I strongly suggest if you do that, you avoid the profanity and insulting. It is fine to be angry, but yell that in your own home, don’t type it through your keyboard. There is also a ton of content now that can be done solo like Delves - and that gives vault rewards.

Best of luck moving forward with whatever you decide.

I think you’re right. Certainly hoping so because I’d really question using accounts as giveaway prizes. :sweat_smile:

Yeah - most people - including Blizzard - refer to a game license as an “account”. It makes it REALLY confusing when doing support. Drives me nuts and I desperately want to get Blizzard to switch how they refer to it in all their documentation and communications. I can be very literal though.

There is one Battlenet Account. There are up to 8 WoW Licenses on it.

The OP probably won a copy of the expansion in NA, or NA game time.

I, too, am a fan of precise language. In addition to the account v. license issue, I’m vexed that everyone seems intent on using GM to refer to both gamemasters and guild leaders. But that’s a rant for another time and topic. :slightly_smiling_face:

despite what some people typed here, I am aware and agree with everything you said mate… and I don’t think anything I stated serves as an excuse/justification for my actions, and the way you put it, is exactly the reality… I am just not very smart by typing in game chat… and i should’ve learned how to keep quiet, but i guess the urge is just stronger than me…

I would like to ask (if any1 knows the answer to this), if there is a chance to recover this account despite being a permaban… and if there is one, how long should I wait before submitting a new appeal. Again, the longest suspencion I had was over a year, and it usually doubles in time so… would you advice waiting 2 or 3 years, and then submitting a ticket to try and recover it ?

Not likely, but nobody that has responded to you works for Blizzard. Even a Support Forum Agent who may respond here can’t tell you for sure.

The only way is to open an appeal. If you have reached the point where they say the decision is final and future communication will be ignored, then there is no hope.

You can open a fresh appeal immediately after the last appeal has been answered.

I don’t really care why he got banned. I’m giving him a solution how he can still play the game. Not that “he should act appropriate to his age”. Bann was done. That won’t help him anymore. Therefore new licence is the way.

And buying new expansion on sepparate lincence. That would be the best suggestion since blizzard almost never overturns their decision since it was justified.

Idk why i got flagged, it’s not like anything i said is against TOS.

I don’t like to say never, but given your apparently extensive history and demonstrated inability to learn from past mistakes… I think it’s highly unlikely.

One the game account or game license is closed, there is no way of recovering anything within the account. All your characters, all your items, all your gold, they would be stuck to being within that game account. How ever, you can start a new game license if needed, because stuff like achievements, mounts, basically, already collected collections would be bound to the Battle.NET account (Limited to the region, example NA or EU), and you wouldn’t have to spend all that time farming for those mounts or achievements or etc.

You can have up to 8 World of Warcraft game licenses on the 1 Battle.NET account.

Picking fights with other posters is trolling, explicitly against the Forum CoC.

If you want to answer the OP in a certain way, go for it. Bashing on others for the way they answer the OP is not your job, nor is it allowed.
