Is there a bug that I don't know about? I only started playing again recently.

Did you play RBG's and met a wintrade team and you won without anyone dealing damage at all? Rumour says that there's a system that searches for this kind of matches and bans.

Other than that, contact the accound administration and ask why specifically you got banned.

Nope. Farming battlegrounds on my newly dinged warrior. Haven't been in a RBG for months now.

It says at the top that I used an exploit, no?
If that's true though it'd be hilarious. I had to endure battlegrounds where over half were bots and never used a bot myself and then I get accused of being a bot, great honestly.

Yeah would make sense to ask right? Keep in mind I asked for the specific reason and never even mentioned that I want them to remove the suspension.

Thank you for your follow-up email regarding your WoW account. This was issued a 3-hour suspension and may have had Honor-related items removed after a Blizzard Entertainment investigation produced evidence indicating the account had participated in activities designed to gain an unfair advantage in the World of Warcraft Honor system. Upon further review, we have determined that our original findings were accurate and the action was in line with our current policies.

Please take a moment to review the World of Warcraft Terms of Use (http://eu.blizzard.c...termsofuse.html). You may not use or exploit errors in design to obtain a competitive advantage over other players. This includes activities such as automating play to prevent a character from being removed from a Battleground due to non-participation.

Please review our in-game penalties policy (http://eu.battle.net...count-penalties) for more information on account actions.

Regards,
Game Master Stysamia

[Dizp]

You'll only get banned if they recieve a lot of player complaints aka reports, so obviously a lot of people thought you were boting.

The thing that pisses me off is if they are dumb enough (which they are) to accuse me of botting again they might just give me a perma for nothing at all. This is a complete joke.

How do you know I played like a bot?
How come people are so idiotic, it's like nearly everyone. I made a post on the official forums and there is this 14k achievement pts guy telling everyone that everyone is a bot except him of course and that every ban is well deserved since Blizzard is God. Pretty tired of fanboys honestly.

You probably back pedal, keyboard turn and use spells like a slowbro so other players assumed you were a bot.

I don't backpedal or keyboard turn and I spam abilities like a hero. Yesterday I killed 2 Sages all alone.

[deprivelol]

this has happened to me before, just make a ticket or call in and tell em you weren't botting and some dick was just spam reporting you afk
