This is really sad how carelessly they would ban people like this, I used to queue random BG's all day, get out before the game started and basically won the game just because I had the head start to grab the flag, or I would be able to cast while flying with the gnome pirate hat exploit, or go invisible and duel people without them being able to fight back, or when I leveled a guild to level 20 in one day with the fishing flier exploit, nothing ever happened to my account, But because I decide to use this one exploit to DC a few of my friends just for shits and giggles my account is permanently banned and they refuse to appeal me, this doesn't seem a tad bit wrong? The people that profited off of this by making mass cards had it coming, but when I did this I didn't even know that you could produce mass cards, anyways I sincerely hope that they unban people who meant no harm like me, instead of letting people who got banned buy their way back to how they were by either buying someone else account or by buying all the expansions and game time.
I strongly agree with this. If anybody finds a way to get unbanned for testing it out one time please let us know.
if you do indeed get unbanned i would advise you to pm those asking nicely for it if you're willing to share. we all know what happens when the method goes public.
Still u suck blizzards balls big time while u know they read this. Motivate them some more to never restore any account I would say, because since when does the public opinion count?
jeez dude. i'm not sucking any balls here and i don't think that's appropriate language for the forums. nevertheless, they are not going to take anything i say as motivation to do anything. you intentionally used an exploit. it's against the tos that you agreed to. the action taken is and was a ban. yes some people get away with exploits for years without any action taken against them, this is because those exploits have a small % chance of you getting banned. this exploit had a 100% chance of getting you banned. all exploits have a chance of getting you banned and you used one. so if you want to continue thinking i'm the bad guy, go ahead. i'm just being realistic and advising others to do the same.

Realistic in your situation maybe because you duped thousands of cards but speak for yourself instead of forcing you "realistic" opinion upon others. I didn't mean to offend u but your attitude and understanding towards others who might have total different situation going on is just asking for people to see u as "the bad guy".
well this will be my final reply as it seems to be getting out of hand. no one is in a different situation. you used an exploit. exploits can get you banned. you got banned. that is all.
Some people are messing up the terms, "an exploit" and "to exploit" are different things. Using a bug becomes an exploitation only after you exploit it, which means to provide an unfair advantage to certain players or to negatively affect the service itself. In addition it matters also how severely it was performed, not how severely it could have been used.Originally Posted by Blizzard policy

I wrote my third appeal really short saying that unless they unban me I will commit suicide, 30 mins later the police calls on my mobile phone telling me an Irish company contacted them about me not feeling good, so I guess Blizzard do read those appeals after all... I'm still banned though!
But watch out, trolling with the police can get you banned IRL.
I called blizzard today and they agreed the ban was harsh, and that i just DCed myself. I never duped or tried to gain any advantage. I simply thought curiously to just Dc myself. the phone support rep agreed its a little harsh for an 8 year account with no infractions. He even left a note on my account and said they NEED to review it a 3rd time.
This is blizzards response.
