Account Warning

[Toned]

So today I checked my email and I received account warnings for exploiting in battlegrounds... Uh, so like multi-boxing is now exploiting lol? They didn't even contact me they just took some boon saying ZOMFG BOTTER and gave me a warning. I just put in a ticket to enlighten the asshat gm that gave me the warnings.

Many things can be considered exploiting in BG's. Unless you have proof of them saying that the reason you were warned was due to "botting" and only "botting", then it could very well be that you were reported due to a number of bg exploits, including rooftop exploits while carrying the flag and generally getting to places that were intended to be inaccessible. Regardless, it's possible they could have made a mistake in either case.

If it was indeed "botting" specified (which I doubt, I've never seen GM's give conclusive reasons for warnings/bans besides spam/language via e-mail), then I'd both ticket a GM and bring it up on the Customer Service forums.

I don't do WSG, and I know it was from multi-boxing, because I had about 10+ people in a 2 day period make lvl 1 alts to come spam hate tells to me on my realm. The horde in the battlegroup: ruin can't handle 5x shaman in 50-59.

Regardless, it's possible they could have made a mistake in either case.

Don't get your panties in a wad.
1) It was a warning, not a ban. Trying to undo an unjust ban is an incredibly painful process, so be thankful.
2) You have avenues to revert unwarranted account actions via accountadmin e-mail (not recommended), GM ticket (sometimes helpful), and Customer Service forums (highly recommended)

Are you like ultra-sensative because you're one of few female multi-boxers? The internet lacks "tone" in voice, I was just saying it's not from actually exploiting it's just from multi-boxing lol. I thought it was funny how QQers got me a warning without me being talked to. I'm not even worried about it im about 99.9% sure that if I talk to a Gm via ticket/forum they'll take it off.

I've been pretty much dual/multi-boxing since WoW began and have never received a warning from a GM about it, I highly doubt the warning was because of it. Would be better if you quote the message they gave.

Yes, I have also been multi-boxing pre-WOW in EQ and since WoW came out and have never had an issue. Being as I was not contacted before the warning it would be very easy for some one to report me saying: "Lawlshawk is using a mod to play 5 characters at once with all of them doing the same thing". If the Gm and the player don't understand multi-boxing they assume it's a "mod", "illegal", etc...

I boxed in Ruin BGs A LOT and had many, many people make alts. No warnings, ever.

That is so dangerous territory.
