Is this really bannable??

[cletus]

Sounds like a plan. New account, pay subscription but not get TWW, so it maxes to 70 right? Any class recommendations for 70? Need to check these forums to see if theres any information I can gather

You really want a class that can tank and BM Monk doesn't seem to be it. I've seen some 70 twinks and they tend to be Paladins and Warriors. That may just be observational bias, however. Blood DK was pretty OP in DF. Not sure if it still is at 70. There was videos of Blood DKs soloing Mythic dungeons in DF.

The best 70s are those who loaded up on Bismuth Lockbox gear and are like ilvl 546. That door is pretty much closed now. Instead you have to gear up in DF S4 gear. Veteran (ilvl 480) is trivial to get from weeklies and ED. Champion (493) will take a little longer and we obviously don't get the DF vault anymore. More than that and you really have to be doing Heroic/Mythic DF raids at 70 I'm not sure how you do that now. The best 70s were those that geared in DF S4 and never moved on. TW gear is pretty useless (Adventurer, 467). I'm not sure what ilvl the TW weekly gives at 70 now. It used to be a Heroic piece.

if blizzard uses this: characters exploiting functionality to the detriment of the game environment or the intended player experience

this insane catch all legalize worded is a loose cannon

i have been in these TW LFDs for 3 months now, groups that had 80s, highly geared, some from top guilds, from my experience i noticed they complain most and are the most vocal. especially when a 11 has like killed a boss they never got to even touch or never made it to. nothing adds slat to the wound like a 11 using the addon that says X-dungeon cleared in 2min 34 sec. btw this was aggravating players when WOD was our zip zip bing bang running dungeon.

imo, you get the right 2-4 80s complaining, doing tickets, reporting hacks, etc that you are out epeening their epeen's.
they are:
- 80s
- paid for and play the current expac
- subbed

you are:
- DF capped
- unsubbed w/wo TWW
- playing as a Vet ot F2P

hmmm?

I should just chargeback my 12 month sub, I only got 2 months out of it, this situation is utterly ridiculous, they robbed me of my chars, they will not rob me of my money too.

I also got unbanned today, I only got 1 automated reply to my appeal, and then a reply from a GM saying they had escalated the request to their team for review, and now 2 days later I got unbanned.

I'm guessing I'm screwed because I had a shitty GM already review it and say no, and the one I got afterwards said he can't review it because it's already been reviewed

I'd really like to know what these tickets have said from people claiming they've been unbanned, and new members in this forum? I'm sus

That's all. I guess im pretty lucky.

 

[thefatgoblin]

Those of you who got unbanned, what method yall were using? queing with the xp debuff penalty, queue dodging, macro? just so we know the extent of the issue

Damn. Does look like you got a good GM

 

[wackytabaccy]

I've only ran TW like 3x this week.

Same, I even started gearing a 15 DK for fun until the storm passes over. Looks and feels more "normal" in a run lol

 

[bigpappa]

Here's me opening my 4th ticket because of all these people being unbanned and giving me motivation to try again. Reeeee

Well i was totally clear of all teh boosting/dodging/macros etc. I just LFD BC dungeons with may own 5 acc party. Funny thing, my main acc involved in this was not banned. This looks like a totally random ban weave.

My main account wasn't either. Just my twink account and 3 trials.

Have all 5 of your accounts got a sub?

You got unbanned as well???

Nope. Main+twink subbed and 3 unsubbed

I figure why not track what commonalities people have (for the ones that provide info anyways) across various threads.

Multiple Accounts	Add-Ons	Macros	PUG	XP Debuff Dodge	Boosting	Instance Reset
✓	weakaura	X		✓	✓
✓	X		✓
✓		X
	X	X	X	X	✓
✓	X	X		X		✓
X		X	✓
X			✓
			X	X	✓
			✓	X	✓

Clearly not enough information to figure anything too meaningful, outside that macros in of themselves probably isn't a flag, and that there's not much evidence for add-ons being the cause either (and I doubt anyone is going to admit to using third party software).

Perhaps the most important piece of information that none of us have access to is how many times any given account has been reported or flagged for botting/hacking/cheating. While we know other people can report others, we don't know how Blizzard itself goes about flagging accounts for such behaviors. It's probably automated, so even if you don't interact with other people in the slightest you still might be accumulating dings on your account without your knowledge.

you should expand your criteria, you need two more columns that basically boil down to "acting like a bot in dungeons", maybe even 3 of them. One column for "Said helllo/exchanged pleasantries and speak in instance chat" one for "leave people behind while blazing through" dungeons, and maybe even "had obvious characters on follow for entire dungeon". The wordings I'm giving aren't real suggestions, but the reason why those things matter is that they are what primarily lead to reports. If you're missing them, then you might as well rule out reporting by other players as a factor.
