Welcome to Blizzards lolban storm

[Swizzie]

Blizzard just completely shut me down again, but restored access to all my accounts because this is just a shot in the wind ban wave. While I do not really want to say word for word what I was told, I was told this was a ban wave aimed at 3rd party program users.

What I can also tell you is that my accounts using ingame automail where banned, also the ones farming for access of 4 hours where also shut down.

My girlfriends account she bots on here and there for a few hours and does not use mail was untouched.

Additionally PvP was untouched botting for a excess of 20+ hours and still going strong,

The addon Postal gets you banned now?

What? how did you manage to come up with a question like that? I did not mention anything about postal.

They're probably shooting blindly. Most botters who actually get banned will not even try to appeal it. I was banned a few months back for farming , dude on the phone said some shit about looting X number of herbs within X amount of time , while not socializing in any way towards anyone. Luckily I was at the desk when it happend , called them on the phone and submitted an online ticket. Anyways I'm off topic a little.

Trying to find out how/methods blizzard bans is like trying to find out why the grass is green and the sky is blue.

They actually said you looted X numbers of herbs in X amount of time? I didn't know they give out that specific of information..... to anyone.

 

[Swizzie]

The guy that opened one of my accounts gave quite a bit of information to me, but changed it to the standard message about 4 mins later.

Simple, your post was so vague i couldn't make any sense of it.

Very informative post, so much depth.
2 cents worth cashing in. Deposit in a gbank, mailing 3-500 stacks of items in 1 day might not be the brightest idea.
good post
would read again

I didn't know we were trying to find out why the grass was green and the sky was blue. Atleast. Not for the last hundred or two years.

chlorophyll and light reflecting off the ocean into the sky ... now to tackle blizz's methods

Actually its because chlorophyll absorbs all spectres of light except green and so only reflects green light into your eye and the ocean- thing i totally wrong as water itself has no color and the ocean seems blue because it reflects the sky and not the other way round. The sky is actually blue because air scatters blue light more than red light

Ontopic: Also got a 72h today which i got lifted after opening a ticket. Seems like theyre thorugh with they people they know who are botting and just banned all those who they werent sure about.
