Official "Ban wave" 22. Jan 2014 Thread

[MNC]

I wonder when i get perma banned. I'm gonna still use PQR/PE after 72h penalty.
I'm not using those in arenas or RBGs, i dont raid much, only LFR. So maybe blizz decided I'm not ruining other players' game and the money i pay for subscription time is still worth letting me play?

I have never done any kind of pvp with PQR, just LFR, and I have only had it literally like 3 or 4 days. I got perm not 72h.

[huizederoo]

i got perma banned for PQR and i didnt even use PQR for weeks and i was offline when the bans happened
so your info is false

I didnt use it in weeks, and i gor perma ban.
Talk to a gm and they say Your World of Warcraft account has been permanently closed due to a direct breach of the Terms of Use.We now consider this matter closed and would not look to enter into further discussion on the subject.

I was permabanned as well, didn't arena, didn't raid anymore. PQR was the only thing keeping me in the game. But I did go on my daily FM radio show and spent (roughly) 3 hours flaming the crap out of them, I used to be a huge supporter, spent tons of money with them. Above all, this smells like a buyout move or some way to sluff off wow so that they can stop development of it and focus on bigger projects. There is no way that any publicly traded company (ATVI in the US and VIVI - parent company - worldwide) would purposely cut off that many customers. Reports are 500k in the US and 1 mil worldwide? That's millions of dollars gone in 1 shot, their stock would go in the shitter if this weren't some working move.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
This thread is for BAN REPORTS and discussion directly related to the ban wave. Do not bother to post "How do I get my account unbanned?", "Will I keep my mounts if I merge a new account to the same battle.net as the banned licence?" etc.

Sorry to say, but 99% for permanent bans, the accounts are gone.
From experience: Account's banned in a ban-wave will never be unbanned.

Some links:

The short answer: You most likely will not get your account unbanned in the ban wave, but if you send an email in with the info I explained in my guide (also copied and pasted in the "long answer" area), then there's a small chance you'll get it unbanned. You tell them you got hacked and you found a keylogger and hope for the best.

Did anyone ever end up getting unbanned from the massive Archeology banwave in 2011


Hoping someone can prove it wrong and post a proof of getting an account unbanned!

Well, after my calculations, I've spent exactly $1,964.98 on WoW throughout my five years of playing, game time and expansion sets included, and about a week ago I calculated my entire time spent. I have spent 363 days (8,712 hours) playing WoW. I believe my perma-ban was a very overdue sign to quit and find a new hobby. I am grateful, yet a bit disappointed in myself for having spent so much time and money only for it all to dissipate into the great abyss of the Internet. Fare thee well, World of Warcraft. It was (sorta) fun while it lasted.

Ok before you read any further, please take note im not trying to tell you how they have been detecting people or trying to convince you that you were banned simply because they are scanning your addon folder, I do belive they have multiple way to detect peoples not just with the addons folder, but I can confirm without any doubt *THEY ARE ALSO LOOKING AT THE ADDONS FOLDER* and this is why.

I got a new job 3weeks ago and I found out someone else was also playing wow at the shop, we were talking about wow often and found out a free xfer was available this week and he could move to my server for free so he did, next day he had trouble with wow, he couldn't log at all, he had an error about texture.MPQ being corrupt, he ran the repair utility, chkdisk, removed the file... and did try everything he could find on wow website about this issue, nothing worked.

I told him to delete wow and download it again, but he was almost capped with his bandwith, so I told him I would copy my wow folder and bring my external hard disk with me which I did, we went to his house and I copied the files and only removed the WTF folder, once he logged, my addons was enabled automaticly, i had pqiinterface and probably in the addons folder, he simply logged but got booted right away and got an error message and his account was banned, 30mins later he got a email about license being removed, perm ban, i feel bad for him, he was not aware of pqr or pe and still have no idea why he banned right now. At first we were thinking about a security step from blizzard because when he was logging on the website there was an option to change his password. He sent a ticket for some explanation etc.. and they said they would not lift the ban, we were wondering what the **** is going on.


When i came back to my house i found out i was also banned and figured why i got banned. This happened on January 22 btw.
I did Use PQR and PE so i still derserve it and wont bitch about it, but still pissing me off about his ban.

Sorry for my English and the wall of text.

That was great. Like, really great. More people post their fail histories, please.

I have been botting and using PQR/PE for several years, with over 40+ characters leveled to level cap, 1.5m+ gold, 250K HKs and countless raids ran. I have only lost 2 accounts in the process. I managed to elude this banwave but I will continue to bot as long as I play this game. The same people who got banned this time around will continue to bot with new accounts. Blizzard is not scaring anyone with a banwave everyone knew the risk when I used the program. Botting at this point is the only thing that keeps me playing this game, I am not going to waste countless hours playing by hand. Point being banwaves do nothing in terms of reducing the number of players who "cheat". It will only encourage players to play more elusively.

[Nevodark]

I never used PQR (dont even know it before yesterday, hb redirects me here.)

All my pickpocket bot are online for a solid 100k/day. Destroying this game and making 1000e/month by doing.....nothing.

I sold 890 gloaming blades and bullshit scimitar i dont even know what this crap is.

Blizzard, wow europe, mmo-c if you read this i just f-a-k you. Ruining your shit nerd game which ruined your poor life. Plus im milking you so you can buy pixels to actualy shine somewhere. How pathetic you are.

Im a nerd milk machine muaha and i dont even play this shithole.

Now lets see if blizz has balls to attack hb.

Lol

Good god sir the scanners just overloaded on retard, GG
