Poll: New attempt to evaluate how many bans

[crispybacon]

Wrong some people get a perma ban for first offence. As we can see from results now they seem to be issuing 6 month bans however.

yes. My friend got his first ban, and it's perm. Confirmed.

Why you being smart ass? You know they give warnings for first offence botting, everyone knows this.

Actually you are wrong Mannyste, no warning are given out to anyone so don't tell people they get a freaking warning. The TOS also states
--------------------------------
Account Suspension/Deletion.
BLIZZARD MAY SUSPEND, TERMINATE, MODIFY, OR DELETE ANY BNET ACCOUNT OR WORLD OF WARCRAFT ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON OR FOR NO REASON, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU. For purposes of explanation and not limitation, most account suspensions, terminations and/or deletions are the result of violations of this Terms of Use or the EULA.
--------------------------
See the "Or for NO Reason". Well I was not bottlng for the last 1 1/2 freaking years and they still gave me a 6 month ban and I appealed it and got an answer this morning of NO Reason given, the GM pointed me to the TOS and that is all.

So goodbye wow and hello to some other game.

 

[McWeiss]

[feskins]

Yes Banned 6 months because of wave. No tripwire played night of the 12th then logged on the 13th and wow could not log in banned.

 

[namook]

yes. My friend got his first ban, and it's perm. Confirmed.

They generally weigh up some factors I believe if you spend a lot of money character transfers and what not I mean a lot of money they would rather suspend you or leave you alone, if you don't then well they don't care having said that though I know people have been perma banned simply by getting a cunt of a gm for first offence.

 

[namook]

I wonder those people that did not get banned do they spend a lot of money on store items, character transfer, realm transfers or was it just a matter of fact of banning x amount of people per server? surely they are aware many more of us bot?

 

[Botsalot]

Yes - US - 6 Months

havent been playing for 6 - 7 months, came back and botted to 100 on one character, was at 99 on the second when the ban hit..(about two weeks all together, around 4-5 hours a day, at different times, from different computers (I can play at work))..
I was supervising mine the entire time, stopping every now and then to run a bg manually, goofing off, mining, chatting with people...
It got detected, no big deal to me (As I didnt get a perm-a-ban) but I will miss honorbuddy, it made the boring stuff a lot more fun..
Honorbuddy was the best money I have spent, but I have uninstalled/deleted all three of my installs..
Tried several ways to get unbanned, nothing worked. They told me that I could play my second account(didnt know they knew about that one, as it is under a different name/credit card), but to be sure any software that violated TOS was removed because they would hate for me to pay to play again and get that one banned as well.. Cut and paste below..
Good luck to all who still use HB,, I wish you the best


This is the latest response from Customer Support:
Thank you for your continued correspondence. After a thorough final review of the action taken against this license, we have arrived at the same conclusion. The action will not be reversed or changed under any circumstances.

As for the questions though, yes it's a 6 month suspension in this case and not a permanent account closure. So when we get to 11/14/15 the license will be available to play once again. Of course, you are more than welcome to play the XXXX license or add a new one if you still want to play. I would focus on ensuring that you address the root cause of the violation first and evaluate or re-evaluate any and all programs that you have running on your system. After all, I wouldn't want to see you in the same boat again after the suspension is lifted or investing time and money into an additional license just to have it suffer the same fate because the root cause was never addressed.
