lmao. If true, coupled with my case, this bolsters my suspicion of their investigation methods.

Day 3, still no response since day 1.

I wonder if the wintraders had their honor stripped or if they're just going to be wasting spots this week.

I know on Feenix, when I had +120 chinese accounts banned, they stripped the honor off of every individual at a significant amount. I know very well to what extent the chinas will abuse to sell characterboosts.

Were you one of the ones who reported them for abusing sands in Silithus? That I remember. Or were they straight up win-trading in BGs there as well?

The idea of win-trading in vanilla seems so bizarre to me. Premade vs pugs wins are just as fast unless your group members are fucking retarded

you just answered your own question. the chinks are horrible at the game. they will lose to motivated pugs or at least be caught up in a very drawn out match. they can only compensate this with account sharing and win trading.

wow sorry to hear that bro, really sucks and I sorta know how you feel. Hate to say it bro but they have a strict guilty until proven innocent type of precedent set here. Sad to hear man but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I too have been awaiting my account ban appeal after being banned yesterday morning for being mind controlled by a priest in AB. Been 24 hours since then and still nada...

Yep. I mean I understand where they're coming from, though. Greater good and all that. Numbers game. A couple innocents vs hundreds guilty. Just fucking sucks to be part of the collateral damage. I really hope they prove themselves better than certain other servers and actually rectify these mistakes rather than the usual ignore -> lock-> delete -> ban routine. Up to this point I thought they were better than that but I'm kinda worried now

[trorsmang]

this is now my second time being part of the collateral damage

maybe i just have bad luck - as if having to sit through ab after ab of 30+ minute 2 cap losses wasnt painful enough already for the honor grind now I got wrongly screwed out of the last 2 days of ab bonus

[Mjl]

And what happened before? They said they'd review your case and then just ignored you?

My own fault for playing this game at my age, I guess. Very strong reminder that I should be spending my free time in life elsewhere. Though just the same, I'd really like a refund on the previous four months' of free time spent lmao

fuck my life fam

edit: And yeah, this week also happened to be the most I honor I had yielded since I started here. Great fucking timing.

before my bank alt account was banned by the anti-chat system used for catching gold spammers

i think i tried to sell something in trade chat like mats or some consumables or something on a low lvl horde character instead of putting it in the AH because of the deposit cost and ah tax and got insta-kicked and banned.

It was unbanned but it took 2-3 days just like this time around so far has. I didn't care so much the first time because it was just a banker alt account and my main account was unaffected and I could still play. This time its my main account while I'm in the middle of ranking and honor grinding and i clearly did absolutely nothing wrong so im far more frustrated about it
