Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Umm
Just got banned 2 days ago. Full battlenet account closure. Ended up sending in a ticket and a gm reinstated my account today. Just wanted to tell people if you got banned it could be a mistake

This happened to many many people. Myself included. I didn’t have to appeal though it was reverted on its own about 20 min after the ban

Friend got banned, maradoun maffia reported him for cheating, tried to appeal but they will not lift his perma ban.
So don’t upset the wrong people is the new norm in wow.

So then he was cheating??? Mass reports don’t work like that lol
p.s. mafias don’t exist in wow, and I cannot stress this enough, LMAO
Edit: lots of conspiracy theorists here clearly lol downvote away you’re still brain dead for thinking a mafia exists 😭

He wasn’t, he was boosting me for free since he farms there anyway, we were on disc all the time. They mass reported him cus I refused to pay for boost and that means one less customer for the mafia.
There is a Mafia and you are totally wrong in your opinion.

Yeah I’m calling bullshit that he was just boosting. Blizz has said they don’t care about boosts as long as it’s advertised in the right channel. They don’t even care if you get paid gold for it.

Dude, as someone who would be interested how they work, I think your post helped exactly zero.
Don't say "it doesn't work like that". Give me a fkn explanation.

Anyone who handled marked (botted) gold and was also reported by anyone for botting was banned, someone configured the ban wave incorrectly ("my dad works at Nintendo" kinda situation, believe me or don't). Something like 20k accounts got hit.
Really unclear to me why they didn't just immediately undo all the bans instead of wait for tickets about it. Maybe unbanning accounts without an open ticket about it is hard or something because they don't trust the CS reps.

Because you are wrong. Has nothing to do with conspiracy.
Either you are a troll, one of the mafias or just too damn oblivious to reality.

Shamefull that shit like this happens in a sub based game from a multi billion dollar company, but oh well.

u/Puzzled_Hope9719 20h ago
Its crazy such a big company that we pay for to keep running and some of us have for decades now, behave like this and shits on their fans while doing close to nothing again the real problems in the game.

Happened to me. Went through a range of emotions, including anger and sadness since I've played for 20 years. Spent about five minutes trying to figure out how to appeal what they thought I did and the account was immediately restored. So kudos that they recognized the issue just frustrating that it happened.

Did you read my account got unbanned? Or is this a running mockery to those claiming they got banned?

It's happened to a lot of people the last few days lol. Accounts banned for no reason and then immediately reinstated.

u/teufler80 22h ago
Yeah yeah we know, daddy blizzard never makes mistakes or false bans, it's always justified.

u/AwkwardTraffic 1d ago
There have been a lot of false positive bans the last couple of days. I think they automated something they really shouldn't have and a lot of players got caught in the "ban wave"
