People are getting banned for no reason/ bug. Help us.

[Blockygame]

72 hour suspension is not a ban at all, if anything it's lenient, play something else for 3 days? All the noise on the forums will be from those who got caught out, happens every time.

[starkey]

PQR has been around for awhile, amazing it took them this long.

[gruffi]

Can you change thread title please it is saying banned cause of no reason/bug when obviously people who are using certain bot got banned.

[Rad1um]

OP you're a dirty liar. Just freaking come clean. You cheated, you're getting a slap on the wrist, freaking be happy. But dont come in here making all kinds of noise. You got caught and be happy you're getting your account back. /thread

Everyone who used this even if for 10 minutes should be perma banned not some 72h bullshit.

Also you are bad at the game and no better than people who wallhack/aimbot in FPS games.

[Osmeric]

What's going to be funny is after coming back from their 72 hour bans, these players are going to suck, since they have so little practice doing their rotations manually.

[Zippoflames]

I wonder if any of the top ten guilds used it and got banned too, Would be interesting to know.

Oh god, has the ban wave hit US yet? I can't wait for this shit to happen.

Damn I just can't stop loving the title of this thread.

Banned for "no reason".

lol

[Toiran]

It's a wave for PQR and Honourbuddy for sure, a lot of users talking about it on....what some would call questionable forums.

I've never used PQR, but I could see the point of it, top % raid leader for example, let PQR do the rotation whilst he watches whats going on.

The ethics is another question.

But yes, if a friend was part of the wave, they are lieing when they say they did nothing.

People made tens of thousands off selling PQR profiles, possibly hundreds. It's somewhat similar to drugs in the real world, some people are utterly oblivious to just how deep it goes and how far it stretches.

Edit: A majority are getting permabans not only 72hr.

[Tonath]

A bot that does the rotation for you?? Jeez talk about lazy

[lordjust]

Many people got perm bans also.

Some GM explained how bans work. Every violation of the TOS is worth a certain amount of points and depending how much points your accounts has you'll get a ban of certain duration. Some points will vanish over time but others won't so if someone got a perma ban now they either did something big or lots of small things.

Also the email some people posted on the official forums stated as reason not available which indicates that it's something that isn't categorized yet like duping or new bots. In addition if they think they're really innocent, then they should write a ticket to get looked on their case.

Have you ever raid lead? Trust me, if you're a half decent raid leader then you do your rotation almost subconsciously. It's never a problem, and if you do struggle you shouldn't be leading. Even then... that's not an excuse.

[Krazzorx]

I imagine some quite funny and unpleasant conversations coming in guilds.

[lmaotsetung]

Not much raiding going on this week I would presume....hahahahahaha

[steristumpie]

The amount of raids brought to a halt, the sheer panic and confusion on my realm in general chat, the absurd amount of regular non-gold selling, non-bg botting, non-economy exploiting regular joe raiders being banned, feels totally surreal.

I think blizz may have just shot themselves in the foot a bit, looking at the discussion going on in Vale general right now. If ever we had a high realm pop issue, im pretty sure its gone now.

If that many people botted. They deserve the punishment.

It's ok they will just sell more shit in game store and milk the remaining players more.

I agree, my point was trying to find some form of justification of why someone would use it other than sheer laziness, I'm not/nor do I, agree with using shit like that.

OT:

Blue replied on the thread OP linked:
"As you may have already guessed from the quoted e-mails, this intercontinental action is targeting certain third party programs, whose usage constitutes a breach of our terms of use."

So, no more guesses and no reason mr OP.

[NMX-]

These bans are not for no reason. Move along now, you're giving them undeserved attention.
