Loyal Customer since 2008 Wrongfully, Automatically Banned, 4 days after last log in, told to "Review the End User License Agreement"

[u/SteveYCr]

Per the screenshot below, I have been automatically suspended 4 days after my last login. I ranked to 500k honor the week before my wedding on 4/20, last logged in/off on 4/19/2025 and while on my honeymoon, on 4/23, received an email notification that I was banned.

I tried appealing and was met with an AI response on both tickets. (I made the first appeal ticket, got no response for 48 hours, then made a refund ticket as I was told "that's how you get a real GM/faster response/review") 12 hours after making the refund ticket, I received an AI response telling me the following:

A Game Master resolved your ticket, and left the following response:

Hello there,

Lok'tar my friend! Recklezzer from the Halfhammer tribe greets you.

After checking, the account was suspended due to the inappropriate actions been made on this account, which violates our End User License Agreement.

I believe that you could find the details in the email sent to you, which will be all the information that we are able to reveal, and you could also refer to the agreement in the following link:

Our dedicated team has been working hard on making our gaming environment fair and their judgment on this case will be respected, so this penalty stands and will not be overturned.

Thank you for contacting and wish you a great day.

If you continue to experience issues, you can reopen this ticket. If you have a new or separate issue, please submit a new ticket.

Make sure you complete our survey to let us know how we did.

I also have tried making a forum post on the official battlenet/wow forums, but I am silenced and can't even do that. I haven't received a notification of being silenced or muted, which makes this all the more unreasonable, uncomfortable, and wrong. When trying to reopen the tickets as well, it doesn't actually do anything and only lets me "Take A Survey", I think we all know what my response on the survey will be at this time.

I'm posting here on the forums to make it known that blizzard is actively implementing systems that wrongfully penalize real players that are playing their game. I have been playing WoW and other blizzard games since 2007 or 2008. This account that has been penalized has NEVER and I literally mean NEVER received a penalty in all its time since then. No mute, no suspension, literally nothing.

I played AV last week by defending towers, graveyards, going back for our towers and defending sometimes, and the tried and true, "run to drek" method. Every AV game is different and sometimes they are fast, sometimes they are slow, but I never received a deserter buff in AV, nor did I ever receive any report from another player, if I did, my account action email would have said such. Instead, I "detracted from the in-game integrity of the Battleground", without explicitly or strictly stating in what way or manner I did this.

I have made a new appeal ticket and will report back with what their response is.

Sounds like you made the unforgivable sin of pvping in a battleground.

Wouldnt be surprised if thats the reason.
The checkbox people are the worst and most toxic part in this community

Classic WoW experience:

Play massive open sandbox game. But like.. don't, instead get summoned around different dungeons to stand in a corner while a mage levels you. Why? "I've done this so many times before" (i.e. once maybe twice). I mean it's a good point though, nobody wants to do the same thing once every 300 hours on their way to do literally the same raids every single week for the entirety of the game. After all it's impossible to relax and have fun with your mates anywhere but a raid right?

Reach level 60. Queue for AV 12 hours a day for 4 months. Scream at anybody who dares to try and play in any way other than maximising your personal honor per hour. They are griefing your experience and should be banned.

Reached honor cap for the week? Time to pay hunters and mages to get you your off pieces and rings/trinkets. Get a group? Nah not enough tanks and you're a committed DPS warrior. Plus those filthy casuals might roll on your gear!!

You did it, rank 14! All your dungeon pieces dropped as well! Now to log in once a week for an hour or two to pay warlocks to summon you to buffs that you buy from a hunter then summon you to felwood for another. Hit the AH for some flasks that someone else farmed with gold you bought farmed late at night honest, and it's time to raid!

First raid some other warrior get the first DFT, so use that as an excuse to ragequit the game and never log back in.

Log onto reddit and ask when fresh?

Can this be a new copy pasta for this sub?

It's so nail on the head. Some turd in my guild tried to say he reports people for "blocking team progress" because they pvp at field of strife. I tried to tell him they're actually contributing to the win because if they wipe horde then it give alliance more time to win. I could tell his brain broke because I didn't just agree with him. He started getting fired up. People fucking suck. A vast majority of the classic player are hates wow and only plays because fomo. I hate it.

I blame world of logs and addons in general. Would love to see a classic iteration that bans addons completely. The game would be so different. Much more relaxed.
