Anyone successfully got their 6 months reduced to 3days?
- Thread starter Proletar
- Start date
Only thing that is certain about the bans, is that the majority is from US. But thats all conspiracies, not what this thread was made for
I just wanted to know, if someone successfully managed to get their ban reduced.
I mean, normally people getting caught the first time, get their ban reduced to 3 days, unless they encountered in gold selling.
Its a bit dramatic to ban a person for 6 months due to using a garrison bot or whatever small things people are getting banned for. At least I think and in my opinion that cant be good their(Blizzard) business
This is why I am concerned that 'something' is being detected since that tripwire event. Ive been banned 2x before for botting years ago, I appealed both and both were overturned. They seem so damn confident in whatever info they have, they wont budge. and 6 months is much stiffer than the 72hour temp ban...
I was one of those infrequent paranoid botters who got caught. Using just a custom CR once a week to raid with enyo and 2 weeks ago used garrisonbutler.
Oh well back to Starcraft

Yeah. I have a 100% legitimate lifetime key. I am using a 100% legitimate copy of HB and I also only use HB for Enyo+CR for raids for 9 hours a week. Used GarrisonButler occasionally, but nothing crazy as I only did it on 2 toons. Got hit with a hammer while I was in my garrison. There's no telling how they know, but I've done nothing to be detected by a player in any way, maybe with my CR, but i've been raiding with the same people for 8 months and no one has said anything yet, and even my group reported me, it doesn't explain the rise in bans and the new 6month ban.
AC still has the best pvp and loot system to date6month ban's is because of declining sub base
Asherons Call, EQ, DAoC, EQ2, AO did same thing few years before they was irrelivant
Not true. At least not in my case. I was online when the tripwire event happened. But when it went off I got the warning message in HB and the program exited. I was still online on WoW though. My copy is legit with a Lifetime key that I have never (and will never) share with anyone.

^ This would make sense if it would be:
1st offense = 6 months -> Easily reduced to 3 days (like before with 1st offense)
2st offense = 6 months -> no chance of reduction.
But thats not the case.. so if people are getting 6 month bans without chance of getting it reduced to 3 days, it will only decline the sub base even further.
I appealed twice, the second time they said under no circumstance would the account have the decision reversed. Making me sound like a serious risk to player's. All I did was random quest profiles from 90-100 on 2 characters, with break every 30 min for manual dungeon runs
Legit lifetime HB, and I was not online during the tripwire.

Its bit complex
1. This increase the playerbase - most hardcore player will just start new from the same bnet, and play on them for the remaining 6 months at least. But they could think again before touching bot.
2. When the 6m pass - they will use the ingame token from AH - and will resub again - profit for Blizz again.
3. The casual botter could get feared, and either decline or stop using bot, which in long run will be either decline/again botting too, after all

I probably fall into 1. Made a new account to play for 6 months, GF gets the recruit a friend rewards. After 6 months is up i'll resume my old real account, and use this new one to try and bot to profit
If they were after more money, they got some from me.
I'm probably going to take a 2-3 week break right now anyway and reevaluate and see how ti all plays out. If there is sort of some detection, I don't want to get a second account caught, plus I want to see how much I actually want to play after not playing it for a few weeks. WoD was really nothing but raiding to me anyway.
Why do you keep repeating this on every thread? I've seen probably 30 verified people today at least be suspended and zero posts of people without it. If you're trying to make yourself feel better go for a run.
Also I've called twice about both accounts - They tell me the same thing, they have unquestionable PROOF I was gaining an unfair advantage of other players in raids. They won't come right out and say combat routine, but it's pretty obvious they have some sure-fire (at least they think?) way of knowing I was using one. This would also hold ground with the 6 month suspensions, before there was doubt...they could have gotten it wrong. Police investigations can take years so they figure a three day break isn't all bad if they were wrong for the player. However, holding your ground on six months when you beyond a doubt are right that you caught a person, also makes sense. It's like a penalty for them catching you stealing on video, they know you stole...they aren't going to argue over the amount you have to pay back. They will make you pay the entire amount back.
You failed to mention your post history about where you specifically stated you used AFK Ashran profiles. Don't you think that could have had a very large part in getting your account flagged? After all, Ashran IS an instance in of itself in where raids typically form to tackle the content. Your advantage over other members of your raid could just as well have been attributed to this. Not saying the Simcraft conclusion isn't valid, but you did post this not too long ago:

"I enjoyed the profile, and it was good work by OP. My problem was never with him, or anything else..and I wasn't entitled, I bot and know it's not safe. Ashran bot is very high profile, you make a ton of gold...more than any other source I've seen and therefore it was very popular very fast. Like I said, I used it almost from the time it was posted...rarely saw more than maybe another person, however when it reached the top/stickied or whatever it went from 1-2 people max to 8-10 or more, all running the same route, all clearly bots. I did post on here the SECOND it was apparent just to warn people, it's probably not safe. 10+ people running the same route for hours is going to attract automatic red flags from Blizzard, and probably player reports to confirm.

Except I'm talking about a secondary account, read my other posts. I stated quite clearly I used an automated ULM farm profile, and even stated I was willing to concede that could be the reason the original account was banned.

#2 makes no sense. Blizzard doesn't profit out of botters buying tokens with botted gold. This is why they're banning casuals. Us, the gold sellers, don't contribute to blizzards economy. Hell, i think the last time i resubbed was in Cata. However, the casuals raiding with the bot because they cannot cast a spell and move out the fire in the same time, might be interested to resub using $$$. If you scare them to think the bot is not safe, they will stop using it and they will not farm gold. Otherwise, they will use the bot, farm gold, acquire tokens and profit. I'm amazed people still dont get this and keep blaming crs, garrison bots or other crap like that.
