I've just had my whole small network of accounts wiped out and the reasons are all for abuse of the economy. Tried appealing obviously it does no good, and to be fair they're quite right, I've been a bad boy! Bit gutted my main got banned after having it since BC but in all honesty, it's been just another means to get gold the last few months/year. Edit, just realised I've been a member here for 4 years! This was one of my replies "This account has been found to be associated with a known farmer ring which was why it has been permanently banned. After a review of this case this ban will remain in place as no hack took place on the account. If you disagree with this decision please feel free to email us at *Bliz CS email here*" I've never had this before, I'm a marked man. I tried starting up new accounts and these were banned as soon as I got them off the free starter accounts, again for abuse of the economy. I did protest a bit on one of them saying that my characters are too low level and doesn't have enough of anything to be considered as abusing the economy. Still I get the "we are right and don't have to prove it" replies and they just closed my reopened tickets without replying. Clearly I've been winding them up a little and reopening with nothing in them but they may get automatically closed and to be honest I can't be bothered to open new ones. I've asked for a refund and they said they would do that (considering the account is only a day old) It could be that my characters were banned as being part of the same guild as the last lot in my big ban wave, or it could be computer related. Possibly it's payment and account name related too. Last time I set up fake names I forgot one and had it locked by logging in on another location and struggled to get it back I'm not sure what way to go. I can't be bothered reinstalling Windows, I could change IP and setup a new guild but I'm mostly tempted to call it a day and think of the free time I'd have but I do enjoy it. I miss the days when I got banned for botting and could set a defense and get it change to a 72 hour suspension. I want to go under the radar again but with no hassle. Bot safe people
nice little story, i cant wait to be banned so i can finally move on from this game lol, but i will enjoy my time and wont be an idiot, still botting "safely" i guess. its just a matter of time.
Hmm, that's definitely a ban reason I've never seen before. Looks like they IP banned you, in which case I guess it's up to you as to whether or not you want to try and go through the tedious steps of trying to get around it. It sounds to me like they pegged you as a gold seller and really dropped the hammer on you. It sucks, but it's all part of the "game". Hopefully you had a good run, though.
Is it just me or does this not make sense? "After a review of this case this ban will remain in place as no hack took place on the account." Did you just paraphrase it? Because I've never seen something other than one of their cookie cutter copy/paste emails.
That's a copy of the email, I'd never spotted that bit before, I just knew I was guilty and just accepted it. It'll only be a typo thought, there's little point in appealing because of it. Had a great run thanks -M_M- and hopefully will be back at some point once I pick the enthusiasm up, I'll figure something out. I'm not moaning about it all, I accept the decisions and agree with them mostly
Yep, I hear you. It's a good chance to explore other game economies and see what else is out there, too.
