This worries me!!! I have been playing and plan to play BGs with all my Toons to Level and gear, but now I’m not sure…
I have seen games where people ask everyone to report anyone not lvl 70 for griefing in AV.
I have seen people report others that die defending Towers like TP, then end up on defence or join a BG late and start in the cave and get forced to defend.
I also rush to RH and I’m NEVER AFK, but there are so many Toxic people that report at random cause you do not do what they say or because you are lower level (I don’t like this, but Blizz created the game this way).
With So much XP and Honor per horor and Glad gear at the end of the tunnel, this seemed to be the best way to gear, level and prep for WoTLK, which is what pre-patch is for!
People Sell boosts all day, sell gear, do GDKPs where people are AFK and using bought gold and never get a BAN… But just being reported at random from Toxic people could get you a 30 day BAN in a BG!!! WTF…
I Hope all the people have have been posting were really AFK, cause I do not want to stop my plans on for AV weekend coming up!
I also got banned for 8 days because i was defending towers in AV, these are literally automated bans because people report you for fun and if you get enough reports they automatically ban you and you can’t appeal it because they respond with a copy and paste bullsht. at this point spamming AV is just almost a certain ban
I was just gaming with my bro in mid farming solo kills waiting for towers to cap. I would end almost every game top kb and near top dam. Regardless of whatever they want to do I don’t feel a 30 day ban is justified.

Just received this in my email and was able to log in.
My ban was just recently overturned as well. Hope this helps set some of you at ease and ty for the work you do actually participating at those towers. I did the same and i think they saw that.
still awaiting a ticket response… Ill keep everyone updated! Appreciate the support, hopeful now that responses are getting out and peoples bans are getting overturned! Thanks everyone!
It is really amazing how, since Blizzard doesn’t automatically ban people without a thorough investigation, the actual real live human GMs made the same mistake thousands of times over the course of a couple days!
