Just because certain objectives/quests are available does not mean you are participating with your team. There are many objectives that will not only take you away from the group’s strategy, it can actively hurt what they are doing.
Stay with the team and work with them to win. If you must employ a different strategy, communicating what you are doing can be effective. It’s a team objective.
Also, these suspensions are not determined because of 1 or 2 matches where your strategy may have differed from the group’s. They look at many matches and many trends.
That’s not to say you personally did anything wrong. That’s what the appeals process is for. But if you are still suspended after appeal, then that is your answer. You can continue appealing until they say the decision is final.
If you want to discuss better strategies or suggest changes, then you’ll want to head over to the PvP Forum.
Problem is that i did the strategy EVERYONE do. Kill first boss get the towers make sure they don’t get recapped and go south kill last boss = win. This is the way its been played for many years and i never been as said ALONE always a few around me while playing. Only times i been alone if i been sent to GY then i join the others that got sent and just try to slow the other team down as much as possible.
I suspect the 7 days is from the date it was re-issued (7th) as a shorter suspension. So 7 (today in the US) + 7 = the 14th.
The launcher, as Hunt was told, sometimes reflects the wrong data. It also shows Sub/game time duration wrong at times too. Don’t worry about that part. CS can’t make the launcher update.
Yaa i know CS can’t change that one i just made an appeal for that as well cause at this point i do not trust the systems even in the email i was told should be available that is not good enough. What if i get to the day and i am not able i have to wait 2 days more for my ticket to get answered. And losing my good standing on my account for something i am still 100% sure i didn’t do annoys me been a good girl playing for blizzard since WoD top end wow Alpha/Beta/PTR testing a lot submitting bugs and over all just tried to help with good feedback as possible always bought the BIG packs of new games and been a loyal follower. Getting that destroyed by wanting to level my 62 mage and having other players report me cause they are mad that i don’t do the same dmg like others. And again NEVER gotten that afk debuff thing that they keep talking about not been kicked from a single AV or gotten any warning so getting banned makes no sense.
I wish there was a way to prove to you and everyone else that these things are not automated. You received a templated response, sent by a live person. If they’re having to repeat themselves dozens of times (or more) over, it is more timely to have a templated response rather than having to type up each individual one.
And too, just so that you know? You are absolutely allowed to appeal more than once. You can appeal as many times as you’d like, up until you’re warned that no more will be accepted and anything further will open yourself up to further sanction. The turn around time sucks right now, no one is saying that it doesn’t. If you truly did nothing wrong, keep at it. If your account does get overturned, then you can ask for your game time lost to be credited back to your account.
Like was pointed out in the Dev post - there is absolutely nothing automated about the process. The mistake came from a bug that produced faulty data. The analysts who use that data didn’t know it was flawed during their investigation, they only have those reports in front of them and trusted the data that was provided to them for their investigations. So while there was a bug warping the data produced, everything else was done by a live human analyst. Then a live human flagged the account to be sanctioned when the wave went out.
Just like now, every time you appeal, it is a new human who is looking over the data to ensure that the account actions truly do merit your sanction - a fresh pair of eyes. Humans are not perfect. That is why the appeals system is in place to ensure that everyone gets their fair shake - no matter how good or bad they are, or how much money and time is spent on their product. Everyone is treated the same.
Some responses are in fact automated. The word “automated” will actually be in the response to let you know. If the word “automated” isn’t there, then yes it’s a templated non-automated response.
But again, automated responses do exist, though I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anyone cite one done via an appeal (and I doubt such a thing happens, otherwise that’d be a terrible look).
Yes, when response times are high especially, they will make use of automated responses in that regard. But in this particular case (and in the whole of the investigation and appeals process), there is no automation, which is what most of those affected are leaning so heavily on.
is it possible to get a clarification on wether or not the 7 day ban will affect the accounts “history”, and if further actions like item removal etc. are taken? becauss honestly at this point, i dont really care about 7 days not loggin in, even tho i still believe that i was falsely accused. but i also dont want to sent another appeal, aince at the moment i guess the guys checking the appeals are being flooded, and i would expect at least 3 days time waiting for an aswer anyway, so why bother. but if there was an information post on what this 7day ban means on further consequences, i assume a lot of people would have a similar stance to mine, meaning they wouldnt bother.
i mean sometimes finding the good in the bad isnt all that bad, was enjoying the nice weather today instead of gaming.
If a apeal was successful any black marks will be removed from account if the ban is upheald the blackmark will stay on the account and maybe taken into account in future punishments.
In addition, if your suspension was reduced from 30 days to 7 days, it still means Blizzard found enough evidence to support a suspension. If it was reviewed and upheld, albeit reduced, you weren’t “falsely accused”.
As others said, yes, the history stays on the account so it will reflect the 30 day suspension that was reduced to 7.
That has happened in the past with some actions, but not in every case. I don’t know if they did for this case yet. Nobody who has the 7, or 30 day suspensions that were upheld has checked.
Asmongold is known to try and sensationalize videos to get people to watch him so he makes more money. The system isn’t automated, only the squelch is when enough players report you for chat violations. Then, a real person goes over the logs to see if a violation actually occurred, and if so, levy a penalty. If no violation, then they remove the squelch. Asmongold was suspended at one point because he got a great many other players to report him for chat violations while streaming and get him squelched. Due to him advocating others to false report him and on a live stream, he got actioned.
