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

[Deleted]

As you may read on the official forums, people are getting banned for no reason, or hopefully because of a mistake. If you got banned, then post as well. The more people who joins the choir, the harder it will be to ignore.

Can't post links, sorry - (eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/9397029689)

PQR banwave.

[Cullum]

indeed, that spoiled the raid for us. our tank and a lock got booted just before raidstart :/

[Namarus]

Yep, it's a PQR banwave. Your buddies were cheating.

[Eazy]

Blizzard probably has enough of some people cheating/doing illegal things in this game. If was with them I'd do the same.

whats PQR? guessing some bot program?

anyway, most of the people who get banned deserve it, but also blizzard sometimes catches the wrong people in their banwaves

A quick google suggests it's a 3rd party program that runs your rotation for you.

Yea I've been seeing posts from PQR users that they've been hit with 72hr bans. Blizzard must have stepped up Warden the other day.

Apparently it's a rotation bot. OP, you and your friends will not gain any sympathy from me. Botters suck. They are a plague.

Well if I had been using a bot, then I'd know the risk. But in this case, I have NOT.

Looked it up and it appears to be a program that just runs your rotation for you. So you'd hit like cntrl-X and then it would just start going or something like that.

Seems to have just mechanized the "one button macros" that people used to be able to come up with.

This is assuming you're not bullshitting us.

[Val the Moofia Boss]

Be gone, botters! You are a disease that will not be missed!

[Rad1um]

a ROTATION bot??????? What in the holy hell. Whatever happened to the usual BG bots? Honestly guys, if you put this much freaking time into BOTTING you could learn how to actually play by now. GEEEEZUS!

Just a note to point out that a 72-hour suspension for using PQR is not the same thing as a ban. It's a slap on the wrist.

[Odina]

man did a google search to see what it was...found a site that supports the users... and OMG the crying in the forums the sweet sweet tears! I mean you were cheating the system you know you were and now they go and flip out that they got caught.... like wtf did you think would happen?

Lol 72 hour ban for botting, should be perma ban. I remember in vanilla/early TBC I got a ban for cursing, was a few hours maybe 3 IDR.

Many people got perm bans also.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts on it. A 72 hour 'ban' is a warning, not a ban.
