-Rollback - DC Players - Incomplete Dupe-

[Shizzl3]

THIS.

Also, idd - Getting banned on my main account last year was a blessing in disguise. From experience, I would suggest that you ignore any temptation in a few months to return to the game via SoR etc. Make a clean break. Don't resub. It will never be quite the same. If you did this on your main account whilst understanding the dangers, it's probably out of boredom for the game anyway.

+rep!

Very nice way to put it, especially agree to the last sentence about boredom!

No offense, but using 6-8 year main accounts, and not expecting a permaban? Even if you hadn't seen or done ever an exploit like that, people where warning about the permaban. Everyone knew what was going to happen. No offense, but you got to be thick.

Not sure who you are referring to?

But some people claims that they have been permbanned for simply trying the rollback ONCE and creating a scroll.

I don't think that's fair honestly, even though I'm not among those people.

People like me. I just rolled back few times (without any advantage), only myself, never tried to craft anything. And now - perma banned. 6 year old account. I knew there would be ban for that, but not like perma one. I am lil bit upset about that.

Yeah, this is what I meant.

Some will say it's your own fault, since you did do the exploit, but I find it unfair for you tbh

It seems Blizz was lazy as hell and decided to just permban all, maybe like a revenge, because someone showed that they had a serious bug in-game lol, not sure! :P

Well, pretty simple, if you cant afford to lose an acc, don't goldsell, exploit or explore on it.
Come on, 5€ bchest and still use your main? kind of retarded.

[getitasapolol]

because every bchest comes with a lvl 80 char.

I got banned on 4 Accounts and I only used the dupe on two of them on my main once and on the other one many times (made almost 500€).
Gonna try to get my main back, but I dont rly have high hopes.

[MiscGaming]

Did anyone get banned for using this yet? Nah just kidding, got my ban as well, however it somewhat feels like I've been released from Blizzards eternal bonds.

[HeartWorm]

Got my main banned for testing the dupe..fun

[Frosty1989]

This was expected. If you dont have a second account to exploit/boting and you used this you arent really smart.

All ppl saying that they are happy with their bans will be buying a new account in a week so dont try lie to yourselves.

I think when you lose your main account, that you have been "growing up" with since the first day you logged in, it will never be the same anymore.
Maybe they buy a new account. but i think they'll soon be quitting again.

I wont be. I've played since Vanilla and that's far too much time. I never used an exploit before, or even had a suspension/ticket against me. I used this expecting bans, but also for blizzard to have a degree of action taken and not just a blanket wide perm-ban hammer. It shows extreme lack of judgement on their part, as well as laziness to actually look into the details. As some people said, they may have used it to crash friends as a joke and what not. That is not ban-worthy. There are other ways to crash/lag dc yourself, but they don't net you a perm-ban let alone a suspension.

If my ticket is not over-turned, which is probably wont be, it will be a time to re-connect with my fellow gamers. When friends ask if I've played a game, all I have to say in response is "I still play WoW". Because when playing WoW in your free time, you don't have any free-time for other games (for the most part). This will allow me to actually be a social gamer, instead of a social WoWer.

Edit:

If their stand is blanket wide judgement, and an exploit is an exploit against ToS then why are the smaller exploits not perm banned? Simple things such as hunter pet taming (not that I care, I was trying as well), the PvP starts (which effects more people directly in their play experience, being able to buy cheap trinkets could be seen as a good thing for new players in a rich market), or other things on this site that are more easily detectable. You receive temp bans, for those things or warnings. It would only be logical to assume blizzard would have a similar stance with this exploit.

[WizardTrokair]

Not many can bug this game like Omo, and even less share it publicly. Crazy stuff.

+7 rep.

Blizzard seems to take their economy very seriously. It's one of the few things in WoW that can be permanently damaged by exploits like these. They really have no choice but to stick with a zero tolerance policy. With an exploit like this they simply can't go on a case by case basis, it would take an insane amount of resources that frankly anyone who used this in any way does not deserve. Allowing people off the hook based on how severely they abuse something would set a terrible precedent and cause them a lot of grief in the future, in their eyes there has to be no difference between you ("testing" the exploit) and the guy that made $3600. I've learned this the hard way time and time again.
