Update to Recent Suspensions

[Bellamas]

So they were suspended for what? A couple hours? A day? Why even tell us?

[Stormykitten]

It's sometimes so funny to me how silly we're being with what we wear, let alone inside a game. For that side of this modding situation, I find that I wish people would respect what others wear and disassociate clothing with shallow prejudices, particularly when it only shows for the wearer such as in this case and has no bearing on others. However, I understand that this is more about the third-party software than such things, because it has so broad potential cheating uses.

lul blizzard an banning..

i remember when half to the big guilds did archaelogy botting cause it had some 2hand sword and int trinket...

some got banned for 1-3 months .

A guild mate wrote a mail said he was "sorry" and got unbanned.. not that it stopped him , one day in progress our boss did not want to reset he used a teleport hack , flew to the boss and used vanish to reset the boss . faster than a ticket .

Oh btw same guy the bought a level 1 toon with all trading card mounts and gladator titles for 500€...



the same guy who was botting in diablo 3 24/7 for years and NEVER got banned


yeah i dont take blizzard serriously at all when it comes to banning .. cause they are loosing money they dont ban

[XDurionX]

this ban wave is no about botting dude, you cant read
if you dont know there some people make models swap or edited maps in client....

Many of the suspensions issued were for 180 days, as the exploit we detected allows for very malicious activities such as gameplay automation or rotation/interrupt botting.

Given that they have never permabaned people for stuff like this no I don’t remember that.

I worked for Blizz from 2005-2012. They always permabanned for client manipulation that was with the expressed purposes of damaging gameplay.

About 2014 they started issuing longer bans. The old system we had only had a few options, called GMTool. It had warning, 3 hour suspension, 1 day suspension, 3 day suspension, 7 day suspension, and perma banned. We were not able to put longer dates on things, but we regularly permabanned.

Think the devs/blizz is just jealous because the current team lack the talent to create character models that are appealing. Players are doing a better job at creating these skins then the devs themselves. Also the mods are only able to be viewed by the player using them. Guessing the number of players that got suspended was pretty high. So instead of risking players not returning they decided to put out this warning. Otherwise more layoffs at blizz could happen. Players are doing the jobs that devs refuse to do with creating skins.

[Usernameforforums]

eh, i'm not interested in using mods like that. i don't even use normal addons for bars and stuff.

it's not about getting off to these games for me though, even with skyrim the sex animations are usually shit. i just like the realism of fully naked being possible.

like i said,it's about realism, not porn.

Well bras and panties/undies are still well within the realms of realism. If you need realism for your erp then videogames aren’t the thing for you. Get on the webcam and jerk it there.

Funniest thing about this was people posting screenshots of completely empty Lion's Pride Inn on RP servers

'cept it didn't do anything to Moon Guard's Goldshire, so unless it was on War Mode, people are BSing.

I understand the art team. They cannot go crazy sexy with those modells/gear because tha game is rated T but as you said the art team doesn't even know how women look like in real life (not like the kultirans... WTF).
I think the dev team should allow adults to have these mods. There is a huge market potential in the adult video games (+VR). I think this is the future.

Then there are people like me who are very salty over how the Nightborne went. Seriously, the Legion versions looked great... BfA... good god they are terrible. You can even find FACES inside the nightborne females EARS.

So in my case; as much as people praise the Art Team, whoever is in charge of character models are still trash. :<

[Puupi]

Lol Blizzard... so desperate with the dwindling subs that they allow cheaters to stay subbed in the game.

[spalernTJ]

I played around with Tmorph a bunch back in Mists. It was a lovely freedom, not allowed by the game itself. I could play as a Draenei Warlock, or a Tauren Rogue. I could make my own transmogs with different armor types, weapons etc. Was fun.

[Irian]

Honestly I think the now-uncovered widespread usage of these tools should be used to readdress how pitifully bad WoW's character customization is. I directly knew at least one friend who was banned for this who only used the custom launcher to play as a void elf with normal-colored skin.

WoW really needs to step its game up already. We're only just now getting the option to hide items, almost a decade after the transmogrification feature is even released...what gives? Why did we stop getting new hairstyles, too? A lot of the allied races just feel like what should be extra customization options.

Wouldn't surprise me if they decide to add this as part of a pack. With the in game store eventually. Now imagine if they started doing that with addons. Restricting the player made addons and implementing some of there own to the store. Making it were raiders and casuals would have to buy the ones from the store. If theres money to be made they'll most likely find a way.

People seem to forget that those Adult Mods is what keeps those people playing, without it they simply unsub and never touch WoW again. And we're talking quite a large player base here.

Ofcourse Blizzard has all the rights in the world to ban those people, but it will cut Sub numbers quite a lot.

It all boils down to... is it worth banning them if they're harmless, despite breaking the rules.

Blizzard knows about these Mods for a long long time, and always let it slip.

[Powerogue]

At least we're getting more hide options for those e-pervs to work with. Compromise!

O, the humanity!

And relax, most of those "people" are playing weeb dating simulators, not WoW.

[beanman12345]

180 days... perma ban these bitches. actually nah let's unban all of them because some were changing tit sizes.

[Aeula]

Was planning on using something like this to get new models in Classic WoW.

Still might, but first we'll see how prevalent the exploit stuff is so I know whether or not it'll get me banned.
