Hackers. What ...Botting, third party what ever huh? Hackers. What if your flying around in the game mining nodes and then selling the ore at the AH? That's not botting as your manually doing it and it's not hacking cuss you never hacked anything in the game and the add-ons from curse.com is allowed by wow. So as your farming ore or anything else in one area to long your are labled as a bot? Come on, then if you sell anything at the AH your a bot hacker 3rd party what? You go checking your add-ons and uninstall them and still it's wrong? Why is that? How much is to much to sell at the auction house and or where you farm at 15 minutes or 30 minutes and anything over an hour is pointing a finger at you as a bot when your not a bot, not a hacker and not a third party, never bought any gold coins off of WOW, just doing your daily quests and farm ore, cloth, leather, jems, etc... .so why are you being banned? Others are not getting the matts cuss we over farm? Cuss we are level 90's and can can beat the daylites out of level 80 Guards and lower level toons that bother us and want us dead cuss we get a little to carried away farming. There there's all the other things I'm reading about PVP stuff being banned and I don<br />t like pvping and don't want to be forced to do it against my will. So we who do everything WOW says is o.k. is now something your going to get banned for cuss you manually farm to long in one area and sell more than 5 items at the AH. Just those things gets you banned and that covers meny loyal players and never saw that coming. You think Your doing everything right and not get a ban for life but they don't care. You lost everything, gold coins you got from the AH is a thing to get banned for and that's why meny people are gone off the game. Sure we want justice, but what's it going to take to get your toons and alts and mail and bags and everything else back? Zero. Crying and having rage over it as you know far to well WOW is making money you can't ever get back for a few more pre-paid time left cuss your banned. This means they robbed your toons meny times over and you can't fight it cuss the way they set their rules, TOU and Lula stuff and your a bot when your never are cuss they don't know that a bot is vs. you manually farming and all AH selling seems like your instantly banned cuss you sold more than 5 items, and since it's account bound you might as well just sell one thing in the ah if you have 10 to 11 alts on one realm. I think account bound stuff will now be something you have to watch out for as well. Vender trashing is going to get you banned cuss you vender trashed more than 5 items, get real.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-48643369315046902482014-02-02T03:52:40.022-06:002014-02-02T03:52:40.022-06:00All good things in their time... 06 11 2007 MMO ...All good things in their time... 06 11 2007 MMO Glider (r.i.p MDY) Ban Hammer fell and took 1m people with it.

Wow players are not very bright peer influenced sheep. I'd be surprised if the ppl rebuying isn't part if blizzs plan.

AFAIK, for botting it's simply 3 days or permanent, depending on the severity.<br /><br />In this case, as Blizz said somewhere else, but also a GM was quoted above "some weren't aware that their addon was not to be used so we initiated a 72 hour ban and not a permanent ban in most cases". In other words, they let PQR spread to wide before they acted, so the offenders got benefit of doubt.<br /><br />So you may assume that those who got permanent bans regardless, had it coming (either previous offenses, no matter what they claim. Or they overdid it, like botting 24/7).<br /><br />Same thing with those who got perma-banned after appealing: In my experience from similar support a lot of people manage to incriminate themselves during such calls. Or as JoeThePlumber said: "appeal a 72h ban, is a huge risk to get it turned in a perm ban when you say the wrong thing or lie they got data on you!"<br /><br />So those lose the benefit of doubt they had beforehand. And banning those is not being "a hateful bastard", but just being consistent and also deterring of appeals to rightful bans.<br /><br />But you are right, there is no hard and fast rule which offense gets what suspension. The GMs have leeway to account for your knowledge and intent (I think about a step up or down on the pyramid). Being the first to discover an exploit gets a milder punishment, than abusing it repeatedly, than being the 10001st who saw it on youtube and has to try it too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-5130289097213985202014-01-27T11:39:29.929-06:002014-01-27T11:39:29.929-06:00Always hated the "banwave" approach.
