Banned 3 days ago.

[Maximus94206]

Hello,
I had 5 man setup (WMMMP) on NA-Incendius and was benned when hit 38 lvl . I make trades only between this characters and don't send/recieve any gold/loot from another. I have FFA loot system and loot with only 1 character. Played dungeons mostly with some qsts. Blizzard banned all of them with "violation of game economy" theme and leave banned after ban appeal. Can you guys help me with some advices what I did wrong?

[Drakhoun]

Maybe you were autoflagged. It has happened to me before. Just appeal and they should lift the ban.

[Apatheist]

It isn't because of multiboxing. I've had 5 accounts active from vanilla through MoP and since classic launch without ever being banned. Even those of us who have had accounts suspended because of being automatically flagged are usually reactivated after an appeal. Especially if you haven't had any bans issued previously.

[Maximus94206]

What does the ban notification email say? Usually Blizzard will at least give you a category ban reason such as, "Involvement in online trading activities" or "Disruptive gameplay."

I can say it isn't because of multiboxing. I've had 5 accounts active from vanilla through MoP and since classic launch without ever being banned.
"Explotation of game economy" (RMT)

Maybe you were autoflagged. It has happened to me before. Just appeal and they should lift the ban.
They declined appeal :(

[Apatheist]

Not enough information. Seems pretty ridiculous to me that Blizzard issues bans without a detailed description of why.

4 main causes of that ban.
A) causing a monopoly of Any AH bulk item... and crashing said market. Gets your account flagged... do this often enough and ya it’s ban hammer time, or used to around TBC time at any rate. I dealt with several cases like that blizz really don’t like you flipping items on AH.
B) trading money in game or via the mail with someone who’s been caught selling/buying gold. Even buying/selling numerous items from/to said same person on the AH can result in a flag.
C) being in instances for more than 18 hours in a 24hr period repeatedly. If you accounts log 3 days of 18+ hours a day in an instance they presume you’re botting and out come those flags.
D) You’re straight up buying items for real life money/bought gold.

My first session was like 30 hours, next was 18h+ also, I played instances mostly. I never traded with someone except my character, all gold was on main character. I didn't play monopoly AH games. I didn't buy/sell RMT.
Made another appeal, maybe it works.

did you make 5 new accounts to do this? Like they are the only toons on the account and you only made the accounts in the last few weeks?

[Maximus94206]

Yes, only 5 toons , created 23 Feb. ACcounts registered on the same name, real person

[The Crowd]

Doesn’t matter... honestly I’d say you’re pretty screwed...
I mean you logged 30+ hours in one sitting... and zerged instances non stop? It’s gonna be a hard sell to convince anyone you weren’t botting...
how did you even last 30 hours? Passive boredom gets most people after 3-4 runs on an instance... I mean how many m-boxers here have damn near ptsd after SM! I’m pretty sure peregrine is still living that place every time he closes his eyes!
I know if I was reviewing that case I’d be like is this guy having a laugh or what!

[Maximus94206]

I agree 30h is a big time, but I was excited with isboxer and farming abilities, used some energy drinks to stay online. But theme of ban was exploitation game economy, not botting :(

[strokes]

I've been playing ~4-8hrs a day since Incendius came out and have a WWWWS, MMMMP, and LLLLD team. If I'm not exploiting the economy, you definitely weren't.

How automated is your setup? You definitely were doing something nonstandard.

[WOWBOX40]

Were these accounts permanently banned?

[Lax]

Yeah the ban email specifying exploitation of game economy is fairly clear.

Multiboxing is not a shield behind which you can protect yourself from the rules of the game. They didn't ban you for multiboxing.

RMT is RMT whether you're doing it with 1 toon or 5, and whether your 5 toons are on one account or 5 accounts, and whether your 5 toons are on a different account than your main account which can also get banned, and whether they linked your 5 accounts to your other 5 accounts, and so on.

Seems fairly common in these kind of threads. We can't help you with your RMT accounts.

[Maximus94206]

ye I know, problem Is in that I didn't RMT, they were 38 lvl and I ahve around 400g for mounts only.

So why do you propose they denied your appeal, if they did not have reason to believe they should?

We do not have information to help you get your accounts back -- you and Blizzard have that -- and your post here on dual-boxing.com, the multiboxing community website, does not suggest it was for multiboxing.

I don't see the goal of this thread if not to try to link your RMT activity to "I was just multiboxing". Sorry.
