Oh snap! It's inigo Montoya! Haha. I apologize for using the word 'banned,' I meant to say, temporarily inconvenienced. This is serious to me, because I only get to play two or three days per week based on my work schedule. So when I get to play a 3 hour suspension could ruin my day!
There ya go I edited it

It's probably the dual effect of random queue changes and the /report change.
Bots are scripted these days to follow people. So when a player sees several toons packed on top of one another they are /reporting. So beware of this.
We've gone round and round on this on the WoW forums (I go by Orcmasha on there). People are now realizing what bots like honorbuddy do. They don't stand at the GY jumping up and down anymore. They actually follow and engage so long as one human is present and making decisions on objectives.
That of course means you guys will get caught up in it as multiboxing looks very much like a cluster of honor buddy bots. Could be too that you were mass reported before and it's just the /report feature change that is doing it. Either way I'd steer clear of BGs until they fix it.
And how will you know when they fix it? If you're like me you play to PvP - without it there wouldn't be my monthly contributions. I've played in random BGs a metric shitton over the last few weeks and never had a problem. To those avoiding BGs because they're afraid the sky is falling and bans/suspensions are inevitable: your loss.Originally Posted by MadMilitia

Agreed, though, if I was suspended 4 times in 3 days I would probably steer clear for a little bit

Heh, yeah, me too. In those very few and seemingly random cases, condelences - the sky did fall for you!

Last night they popped 4 of my toons, seemingly random (a shaman here, a DK there). Same violation as usual. Put in a ticket - identical canned response "we looked into it and confirmed out findings". I'm curious to Void, who seems to be the only one who didn't get the BS canned response and got things fixed - did you call or how'd you put in a ticket?
Now I wasn't too worried, a couple 3 hour suspensions at 3am, who cares, sleep it off , but one of the accounts they hit last night was hit before, and now it's out of commission for 72 hours. So this only happens to me once a week or less, but at this rate, it'll be 72 hours across half my team, then a week, then what...?
I know it's a flaw in their detection system I just can't get a GM or rep to actually look into it - 3 tickets now and exact copy paste response.

You do seem to be in a position to maybe narrow down the reason why. Anything different about the toon that was hit a second time?
First time - before the gates opened in a BG - 1/5 DK's suspended.
Second time - in the middle of IoC, in combat - 1/4 shaman suspended.
Third time - afk at scarlet monastery - 2 DKs, 2 Shaman (4 accounts) suspended. I had done battlegrounds earlier that night. 4-5 at a time only, queuing as one group.
No, I don't really see a pattern. It's not lack of contribution on the ones they chose - I have screenshots of scoreboards and it's all the same - equal or higher contribution in damage, KBs, healing, objectives, whatever across all toons and compared to the other players in the BG. Wasn't anything like a toon whose action bar was on the wrong page and wasn't doing anything a whole game - I notice that pretty quick and I always check scoreboard anyway.
I'm certain there's no actual person involved in any of this - the suspension Nor the canned response I am getting to my tickets.
Wow ok... so with a little pressure I got a GM to answer me in 10 minutes, with a real response, and reverse all the actions.
Are you willing to share?
