6 month ban turned into a perm one after 4 months

my acc is know permanently banned. mhmmm will wait until the 13.11.

 

Please type where you get the info that you are now perma banned. My account still unlocks 13.11, but when i use the launcher (yep - two accounts, 1 btag) it says its perma banned. Its simply what the launcher says - but its not the true case.

 

under your settings on the wow website

 

Confirmed, my bann also tunred from 6 month to perm :<

 

Guess we're going to figure it out in around 2 weeks.
I also had the mail saying November 13th, but the website always showed permanent ban for me.
Already asked a GM, and he said it should be unbanned on November 13th.

In any case, if the website is programmed to show anything >14 days as perma, then, by that logic, in 2 weeks that should change?
Since from November 1st onwards it's less than 14days...

Hmm...not sure if it works like that, BUT... it's not like we can do anything else about it atm...

 

Question for those who are already unbanned. When you logged in, did you still have all of your gold and items that were in you bags and bank? I have 7 tokens and was wondering if they would still be there when I get back on along with all of my gold.

 

It's NOT permanent, stop fucking panicking. It's just their wording.

its explained to death allr on this forum.

YOU ARE NOT PERMA BANNED! YOU WILL BE UNBANNED 6 MONTHS AFTER YOU GOT THE BAN!

 

I already know its not a permanent ban. I read through enough threads to figure that out.
In fact I did not ask about that.
All I asked was if those who are already unbanned still had everything they had when the got banned.

 

noone has been unbanned. The 6 months from the May banwave have not been lifted for a single account. Blizz made that extremely clear.

And sycz, how exactly do you know you were permanently banned?

For all the people that saying Blizz needs to update their services/messages...Why? They don't have to even notify that you've been banned, let alone make it clear to you how long you're banned for. They've basically written off your account at this point anyway. Blizz owes you exactly nothing. It doesn't matter if you think that they owe you an explanation. They don't.

This is extremely simple, people...

If you received a letter from Blizz that your account is closed for 6 months, its closed for 6 months. If you received a letter saying your account has been terminated and contains no information about a reinstatement date, it's permanently closed. End of story.

Stop drawing more attention to your accounts. Why would you open your account up to more investigation by blizz? Go back and read the email they sent you during the banwave. Whatever it says, that's exactly what you should believe.

 

Exactly this. Anyone who wasted a ticket and their time contacting Blizz about whether or not their ban was permanent or 6 months (as the emails explicitly stated) accomplished one thing and one thing only: they placed a giant target on themselves for the next banwave.

Now I'm not going to make any threads about this because it should be pretty obvious, but if those who got caught in the banwave are getting those accounts back in a few weeks, it's just as likely that Blizz has been collecting information on all the fresh accounts added to Battlenets in May, June, July, etc. It's even more likely that that information could maybe, possibly (in my opinion, more than likely), be used towards another wave shortly after or around that very same date. It then stands to reason that people should be very, very careful what they do over the next few weeks and the weeks leading into December, because a season ending means PvP titles removed among other things. In other words, better safe than sorry.

 

I'm sorry, but i don't quite agree with you.
When i got the original message Blizz sent me regarding the ban on March, ofc i read that it would be reinstated on November 13th.
BUT, at that time, i didn't automatically associated the ban with HB, because i wasn't almost playing and hadn't used the bot for a while (only used for fishing / archeology...the former rarely).
So, my first reaction wasn't come to HB forum. I honestly thought i had been hacked or something. So i wrote a ticket asking what had happened. I got a automated reply saying my account was permanent banned and they wouldn't look further into things.
It was obviously a "standart msg". Probably someone didn't even bothered to read and choose a template and hit the "send" button at Blizz.

Anyway, i later found out that there was a ban wave going on and associated things. But the question still remained.
Was i going to get unbanned on November 13th or was it permanent?
I contacted customer support and they said it was going to be reinstated on Nov13th.

About the part you said asking them was putting a huge mark on our heads, i don't agree at all.
Some people don't actually intend to bot anymore, you know?
I deleted everything related to HB after the ban. I don't plan on using it anymore.
I bought another account, and have been playing legitimaly after the ban.
I paid my 6month "sentence", and i don't feel threatned by this subject at all, because i am doing nothing wrong!

Am i supposed to feel like i have an axe over my head forever because of this now?
Sorry, but no.
I made a mistake, paid for it. Now i'm a legite player and expect to have all the support from Blizz, without having to worry that they might turn on me based on a past offense.

 

We'll agree to disagree on what might or might not happen regarding further bans on or around November 13th, but I think you misinterpreted what I meant when I mentioned the target on peoples' backs for ticketing Blizzard. I wasn't referring to that target as something perpetual. I was referring to it as added, unnecessary attention towards their accounts and their activities. The length of time that might go on is always, always going to be pure speculation and in my opinion, probably wouldn't be a lot initially, but you have to remember that a lot of those caught in the banwave went and added accounts to those same Battlenets in order to keep their achievements and such. Many of them were PvPers who needed those Achievements going into the next season, so they took the added risk and went right back to botting (some leveling, others just CRs) and the rest (which can be seen all over the BG forums) is history.

That being said, a number of those people also made threads here asking if they were actually permanently banned because of Blizzard's confusing wording on the Accounts page, so many others (myself included) tried to tell them to go by what the emails said. Those same people decided to file tickets on top of this and, knowing they were botting to level or further botting PvP, it should have been obvious to them that this was incredibly, egregiously stupid. That's great that you've gone "legitimate," but many here still use the almost daily. I'm willing to bet that a larger portion AFK bots (leveling, BGs, dungeons), which leads many of us to wonder why on earth they'd ever set out to contact Blizzard before the 13th when, in reality, every single one of those tickets is going to get seen by a different GM every time. Who's to say one won't be the new guy/girl? Who's to say they won't decide to go the extra mile and take a closer look when they see the words 'BANNED" on one or more accounts for the account they're assisting? It's just basic, common sense.

Well, if you were refering to people who are STILL botting, on the SAME bnet, after being banned for 6 month opening tickets...i do have to agree with you.
If you are doing that, i suppose you want to keep as low as you can, not drawing any attention to your account at all.

Because chance is that if someone decides they have some extra 5min to take a further look on your account and find out you're still botting, you can prolly say goodbye to your whole bnet account...

I opened a dozen tickets after my main account was banned... to ask when it would be avaiable, to ask about the RAF program... to ask how to multibox without infriging any rules (yes, i intend to use my account to explore the world of multiboxing...might be fun)... and i have no fear at all about any GM taking a further look at my account.
On the other hand, if i was still botting, i would keep as far away from the GM's as i could :/

 

That's exactly what I'm referring to. The large majority of botters who got the most angry/most desperate in the aftermath of the banwave were the very same people who opened fresh accounts on the same Battlenets, saw the wording, came to the forums to ask questions, and subsequently opened threads about their tickets.

These were the Arena/RBG botters who were the most vocal about Bossland's disabling Arena on the following release, a decision he later rescinded. These were also the people who claimed they "only used HB to level." They needed all those previous season achievements (the ones that weren't removed) in order to advance into the following season given most of them were running CRs for whatever class they played, and relied on them to remain competitive. That's why this thread got the response it did, and the usual chorus of "Why on earth would you contact Blizzard?" from the majority of the posters (myself included). It goes to show you how dense some people can be.
