Of course they can’t. The people they report just goes on a list that is sent to a gm that just hits /ban all so that they can claim it’s not automated.

Here’s a bright idea for blizzard, stop the automated band and hire actual gyms like the blizzard of old had. You know, real humans that would respond to you.

Yes you will get banned for playing the game as it was designed

I’ve said the same exact thing, if it’s that easy to get someone banned by just reports then the bot problem could be cleaned up in the blink of an eye … problem is people rmt like no tomorrow these days and you can tell by the prices and people actually out and about dungeons or not. Funny how you didnt see them in either but have 10s of thousands of gold. They don’t want to hurt this own purchases.
I wouldn’t put any person in the position to deal with people today because people think they can just treat others disrespectfully and get what they want. Must be something they got from growing up …
It’s not the cap that matters. It’s the damage/heal numbers. Make sure you smash on all the NPCs to pad the logs. This is how you protect yourself. I had to learn this the hard way so I try to warn everyone else, something Blizzard can’t be bothered to do. Even if you are hit, they won’t tell you why nor how to avoid eating another one in the future. You just get one big middle finger. They’ll say, “non participation” and “read the terms of use,” none of which is helpful. What they should be saying is, “do more damage or healing numbers.”

they literally ban people for playing the game and socializing like normal people in lfg. just because their systems are automated and they force players to sign an arbitrary social contract that means less than a terms of service you scroll through and hit okay. I don’t see why not
Many players have been AFKing or playing passively in AV. Those players were being reported across many games and Blizzard has a process for investigating AFK reports in AV. They look at the account in question and how many games that player had zero or close to zero damage/healing. If they notice a pattern, they flag the account for suspension.
After people started appealing their suspensions, Blizzard realized their criteria for suspending people in this wave included too many people who were actually defending objectives and happened to have a lot of games where they incidentally did zero or close to zero damage and healing. Such is the nature of a BG like AV, where a conflict of strategies between opposing teams could leave players defending objectives with no one to fight. Blizzard realized their error after reviewing appeals and decided to remove the suspension on many accounts.
What sounds more reasonable, this explanation or the ludicrous claim that Blizzard has given every player GM banning powers with extra steps. One person earlier claimed that it only takes 5 reports to automatically ban someone. Does that mean that each individual account has 20% of a GM’s power to ban people?
Who said they gave people banning powers? Its a flagging system that is clearly automated and has been proven to be so. How would accounts be banned based off the criteria if it wasn’t automated? Wouldn’t a real life GM catch that and not wrongfully ban thousands of people? Blizzards uses a lot of automation for their systems, just like in Overwatch. You can claim otherwise, but there is no evidence showing there are any gamemasters behind the initial action inflicted on a player.

You:
I hope you don’t actually believe that…
Where did I say they gave people banning powers? Its an automated system based on queries and if enough tag the system, this is the result. Unless Blizzard is sending out apologies and retractions because their GMs are incompetent.

With how report happy people have been lately, its safer to just not do BGs until after launch to keep from being incorrectly prevented from experiencing launch.
You just said in that small paragraph:
Which is it? Did players ban each other automatically with right-click reports or was this a GM error?
People get put on a list automatically, which is “reviewed” by a gm who just hits /ban all incompetently, effectively making the bans automatic but giving blizzard the leeway to say its not automatic.
Where did I say Blizzard gave the player rights to ban people? I was asking you which it was, you say its not automated so it must be incompetence. Misconstruing what I say does not impact me, but yourself. An automated system doesn’t mean the player has GM privileges or anything relative to that. I am sure the emails and apologies mean absolutely nothing on Blizzard’s side.
Then why are there no Discord communities set up for cleaning up the botting situation on servers? If a GM just hits the “ban all” button because what, they’re lazy?
I think my explanation is significantly more likely and reasonable.
If you say that right-click player reports lead to automatic bans after a number of reports are made, then you’re also claiming that Blizzard has given players and the community the power to ban each other. You’re saying that we have GM banning powers with extra steps. Multiboxers by themselves have GM banning powers if they have the required number of accounts to trigger the automatic system, there’s no misconstruing what you’re saying.
If you believe that player reports lead to automatic bans, you believe this.
Dense and daft. Neat combo.
Conspiracy minded and naieve.
