Tricking Blizzard

[huffdady]

Okay, so a few months ago, one of my botting accounts was locked, and required an ID, and it was one i made under a false name with no ID for it. So i kept trying to get blizzard to unlock it, and they wanted an id but then i told them this. Hi, a few months ago, my account was hacked, and I was able to get it back. Though after I got it back, and the battle.net account was recovered, My world of Warcraft account still needs to be unlocked, and I went over the account recovery form you showed me. It says that I must send in a picture of myself beside my ID. You see, I can not send you a picture of me, as a Mustaali Islam, it is against my religion, with me being a woman. So around then I gave up since I knew I had to send a picture in, and thought I will never get my world of warcraft account back. A few months later, I thought, that if I explained my current situation, Blizzard could be leniant to me.


Blizz gave it back to me in less than an hour, if the name on the account is a girl, find a religion that a girl cant show her face or something in, and tell them that!

Cheers

you shouldn't need to give them ID if your account is locked

thing is if this gets out (and if true) in addition to the diablo 3 launch fail it would be really bad publicity and they'd probably lose stock value... if i were blizzard id just unban and not risk the bad publicity of the situation being real

I'll write an unban letter template for this, as when they ask you for your ID no botter will give their ID... very good find! +rep

nowadays companys are really relaxed when it comes to other peoples religions and would bend the rules because they don't want to be seen as 'racist'.

And the downside with such a specific reply, if there's anybody from blizzard on these forums, they now know who you are.

diablo 3 launch fail

Yeah, 6 million copies sold worldwide is a total fail. Basing D3 itself because of the server issues at the launch is like blaming iphone for the queues in apple stores at the release day.

But yeah, that's exactly what they are afraid of. That's why they are extremely vigilant about race/religion/sexual orientation bashing ingame/on forums.
