Banwave 10-11-2016 Discussion

This has something to do with Donald Trump, you think him getting in and this happening is a coincidence?

I think not.....

 

My only suggestion to everyone that got banned, is to learn about sandboxing programs. It has saved my windows botting from all the waves this year. OSX side I've yet to get hit with anything as usual.

 

Man I got 2 accounts that got hit with a 2 year suspension lol.... what the actual?!

 

How do you bot with OSX? Do you use HB or another client?

 

18 month ban here. Fun times. I sorta stopped playing anyway... literally last botted around 3 weeks ago too. Delayed bans are the evils.

Oh well. Party is seeming like it's over.

 

I was banned for 6 months

 

What do you mean ? i don't understand

i'm mac user but get banned too

 

6 month ban, pretty much the same thing that happened to me in WoD...maybe it's a sign to finally give up WoW for good (yeah right)

 

If you do a new account on the same b.net you still get mounts or u have to do it from zero?
Btw 18 months here, but i got my dalaran spider atleast!

 

do u have any sugestion of a sandboxing program?

 

Ok so 3/4 accounts banned 2 for 6 months and my main for 18 months since was my second ban! the one of them i haven't logged for something like a month!!!
The good news this time is that! i have 5 accounts on my name in the same battlenet, on my first ban i couldn't log on any of em, this time i can log that means same mounts same pets same achievement so i don't really care that my main is banned! Seems like they ban only the account you bot this time not whole battlenet and all yours accounts and that's good news!

 

This will probably get lost in the posts but here is how I got my money back last ban wave:

I have gotten money back and unbanned a few times:

1 st ban: I called and told them my gay lover (I am not gay)(you can reason the psychology of this out though) stole my credit card information and ID. We were no longer together, and I hadnt realized what he had done. I was unbanned. I probably got lucky, but whatever. I lied my ass off. But it made them feel guilty or whatever, because you know, a gay man's rights were being violated. It triggers and emotional response. I didnt care if right or wrong, just wanted to tell a good story to have them thinking about other issues than I am a dude who got banned.

2nd ban: Didnt get unbanned but got my money back. I called and disputed charges. Told them my roommates (I had to get a roommate since my theft stealing wow gay partner was booted) had been playing my wow account and stealing my cc info for months, and I had not seen it. I acted real indignant, and that I had no idea about the game, or what was going on, but was pissed. They asked if I wanted details, I just pretended I knew nothing of this stupid game and I had quit playing a long time ago. Recieved all game time and account purchases back.

This ban wave: I dont care. Its been a suicide account going for at least 6 months running firelands almost daily. My main is fine. I just never had honorbuddy open when my main was up. Always made sure the program was closed out. I dont care what people say, blizz is sending cookies to your machine and its letting them scan processes. I think its limited in scope, but they are. No one has taken them to court.

My suggestion is to create a really good story, use any tale that will evoke an emotional response. Tell them about how being transgender has really affected you and your abusive dad has been stealing your cc and playing your beloved wow account. Use race, gender, anything to your advantage. Play hardball. The threat of being sued is too great. Obviously this will only work for some of you, but not the people with 12 accounts banned, but it may work for people who only botted on one account.

Anyway, I am thankful for a service like honorbuddy exists. I have made millions running the bot. The only thing I enjoy doing is raiding. I hate grinding. Without honorbuddy, I would have quit a long time ago. I plan on using another account and starting the bot back up. meh, you know the risks.

 

im banned till may 21 2018 rofl

and all i did was cr for warlock

 

So if you create another account on the same b.net, you still get all mounts that you had on the banned one?

 

Yes, but by Blizzards definition, if that account benefits in any way (gold, gear etc) it's subject to being banned as well. Even if you don't connect the bot to it, at all.

 

time to buy a razer naga I think lol

 

yes, they are bnet-account wide.

but for me thats not important. i just played wow for m+ and raiding, not botting on farming or anything. with the characters and gear gone, i dont care anymore about mounts and stuff.

 

I see. I just created a free acc (the lvl 20 ones) to check it and i still have all mounts/things obtained through the bot.

 

Not sure that Blizzard will buy the whole "I use a bot because I'm transgendered" to unban it lol.

 

HA! Yeah, I get it. It probably wont work, but I got unbanned saying my gay lover stole my account and ID. Just telling you what I did.
