Banned for the first time for 30 days for account sharing.

[Whipsonspoony]

Hello, and good day! I do not know if this is the correct forum or subforum to post this in, but yes, title is correct. I been an off and on, and as of Legion pretty much always subscriber of World of Warcraft. For about 13 years, I never had an infraction on my account. Nope, nothing, all clean. Up until this last January where I made my first ToS breaking, and perhaps the biggest mistake I could make on here. I bought a piloting service from one the boost sites for the Mage Tower Druid Challenge. It was my first time ever account sharing or buying a boost service, and even then I was massively apprehensive about purchasing such services, and debatted for days. I work a near 48 hours full time job, and I full understand that is not an excuse for buying such services, and I fully acknowledge my own wrong doing. So on the night of the 21st after getting home from work, and hoping to unwind for my two days off being Tuesday and Wednesday, I found my account banned for 30 days 24 hours and 59 minutes, ending on the 24th of March. At first I was stunned, as I never did anything against the rules as the offense listed was RMT. I had a squeaky clean record, until I began digging around from others, and came to the realization this is when I purchased that piloting service for the Mage Tower, and my suspicions were indeed confirmed.

So I sent out an appeal, believing that it was over RMT which yeah I did break with the Mage Tower boost, but as a result, Blizzard upheld their decision. I attempted a 2nd appeal, explaining my wrong doings, pleading and appealing to emotion to get my account unsuspended or my suspension reduced, and their response was the same as last. Reviewed my case, and standing by with their 30 day ban suspension. I fully understand their decision and honestly, I don't even give a shit if my reward for the Druid challenge is stripped, I shouldn't have cheated and fraudulently obtain my rewards. I would however would like my suspension reduced or even overturned. So, I am curious if I should attempt another appeal in a couple of days, and maybe even a phone call to Blizzard to see if they will show some mercy/listen to their hearts and give me a reduced suspension or overturned?

In the event of unsuccessful, I will just ride out to the suspension for the next 27 days. Though this my main WoW account, and I do have another WoW account that I had a former sub and expansion bought on. Could I feasibly log on to that account while my main one is suspended, and not get in trouble, or will I get suspended on that one too? Yes they are both on the same Battle.net account.

Yes, you can do that. They typically ban per licence, not per Battle.net account. You have to really piss them off to get your Bnet banned, much more than just buying some boosts.

I figured as much, I didn't want to do anything that would get my account permanent banned or anything which I already doubted it would. Still though, damn 27 day ban.

I get an account from a 2 year botting ban back in like 3 months :3 30 days isn't honestly that horrible, better than an account closure

I got the same but haven't tried to appeal it since Blizzard is often very stubborn about upholding their decisions & not providing any information.

And in my case the account in question was previously permanently closed & I got that overturned so I don't want them looking too closely at that account's history.

Guess I'll just hafta settle for using morphers for special bear forms 🤣

Yeah it really isn't all that horrible, and rather not have anything worse.

Yeah the fact that the 2nd time I got an actual person, and unlike the automated email, the real GM was pretty blunt with one sentence. I might make another attempt at an appeal probably in a week or so but yeah.

Just be careful, they'll state they will turn it into a permanent ban if you put in too many tickets.

It's unlikely they will overturn it or reduce it.

Just ride it out mate, play on your other license until you can get back on your main _

I have only put in 2 tickets thus far and I plan on waiting quite a bit before doing a 3rd one, but...For real LOL? They would perma ban my account despite nearly being a loyal consoomer? I mean, I am not intending to annoy them. I figured they would just ignore any appeals, but to outright perma ban?

yeah if you annoy them too much then then they will threaten to ban you permanently.

That's kind of bullshit, but I see.

This is pretty much the only time I ever dispute a ban, and most times if you're civil and get a human they did reduce it to a 6-12 month ban instead (at least in my case)

At 30 days yeah it sucks, but tis one of the risks of using any type of 3rd party service best to just ride it out on another license and not pester them too much :P

I might attempt a third appeal next week, but at this rate, I think I might quit WoW for the remainder of the 30 days.

And yeah, I am always polite and civil with the support team.

Keep appealing man, I got my account back after appealing properly. Also, don't get your account banned frequently or you'll ned up in a permanent ban some day.
