I always get random bot messages from blizzard and the GMs cant seem to decide to ban all my accounts or just 1 of them. Will there ever be any standards?
They went from 1 perm ban 1 14 day suspension, then they wen to a 6 month and a 14 day suspension, then they went to a 6 month, then they weent to 4 6 month suspensions. Thats insane.
Ive already quit wow after 2 months of playing, but WoW is just wow.
No, you are not going to ever get an answer as I suspect you have been told. Blizzard does not reveal what they detected, when they detected it, or how. That is info the cheat makers would love to have to help improve their ability to evade detection.
Six months means it was something in the anti-cheat category which you would have been told in the email you got. Beyond that, they will not give you more information.
Or even if they detected anything really.
You would not have an account penalty if the anti-cheat methods did not detect something.
False positives can happen, which is what appeals are for. They will never tell you exactly what they found though.
From the sound of it you were running multiple accounts. While Multiboxing is allowed - you can’t use anything at all to help you do it. Not hardware, not software, not macros, not windows tricks, nothing. It has to be completely manual. Anything that streamlines it is against the rules. I have no idea if you did that. I am just taking a guess based on your post.
The fact that you’re getting a 6 mont suspension tells you that they are detecting something.
No, they’re templated responses from human GM’s.
Doesnt the blues want to checkmate these cheaters by telling them that they know 100 percent they were hacking? Considering they usually ban bots in waves, mine didnt feel like a wave.
Blizzard will never reveal exactly what was detected, or how.
It’s valuable information the cheaters want to avoid further detection.
Bots dont have to avoid detection because they get banned in waves, they would have made a profit in the first 2 weeks
Yah it’s big business of the dark sort. So Blizz is correct not reveal its hand.
If you’re getting hit for stuff while multiboxing and can’t figure it out. I’d suggest stop multiboxing. Try a system clean/reinstall and play 1 account at a time. You’ll be golden then.
Have fun whatever you decide to play and we’ll see ya back in the game hopefully at some point.
If this actioned happened they did detect something. They do not just ban people for the funzies it might bring them.
They sometimes ban in waves, if and when they detect a new bot or cheat. They will seek out as many using it and get them all at once. If it is mostly gold sellers they watch their network and who they are selling too and so on. So not only get the gold sellers but get those buying from them.
Gold sellers always have more and more accounts to replace what ever gets banned. So they do not really care and many of their accounts they use do get banned rather often.
And with that, I think this thread has outlived its usefulness.
There’s no valid counter argument, in response to community feedback about MBing Blizzard decided to restrict MBing to no assistance allowed. This isn’t relatively new either.
I dont use assistance and still got banned.
Frankly, the only place where it will matter is Blizzard’s logs. No automation means none at all, no hardware, no software, no windows tools to control an inactive window. No macros not built in the WoW toolbox either. I can’t see if you did any of these, or had some other software running that caused the problem, but if you did any of these, it’d be a reason.
So if I didnt use any of these, you would still see the ban as being fair?
If you didn’t break any rules, appeal. My opinion on the matter is useless to all parties, I don’t have the actual data. Filing an appeal is your only recourse.
Problem is, given how often this is something that guilty players lie about, we can’t just take your word at face value here.
Just appeal your bans.
That is your one option if you believe this to be in error.
Repeating “trust me bro” is not going to do anything.
