Void - do you 10-box in PvP? If so, how do you get them in the same BG? The reason is there has been pushback by Blizz lately regarding preformed PUGs, and I'm trying to figure out if their new system is somehow detecting that.

No i only pvp with 4 shamans

Then I believe we are missing something.

When players "report for cheating" a gm reviews each ticket, it doesn't automatically ban after 50 reports or w/e. So I am confused really because I have done the random for the conquest daily the past few days and havent had an issue. Even if a group of players was consistently reporting(trolling) me they would get the ban, not me.

Keep calling,keep emailing and maybe post on the customer support forum.

+1. If its happening to groups of 5 or less then its not for the reason everyone is thinking it is.

Open a ticket and explain that your a multiboxer and ask them to lift your suspension.

[Khatovar]

should i open a ticket or what? i just checked actually and says almost 2 day wait time on ticket so worthless to do that probably.

It's never worthless to open a ticket. If nothing else it's another issue for them to look at and then you have everything in writing. Calling will yield faster results, but I'd do both.

[Noxdiebox]

HAHAHA now i have a permanently bann...
same reason as before

The end of Multiboxing?

[Feehza]

omg. Hopefully they are willing to implement a flag "Dont ban automatically, only investigate via human"

[Invisahealz]

so just got a reply email from bliz from ticket i wrote.

Greetings,

Thank you for your follow-up email regarding the accounts ***************** . These accounts were 3-hour suspension and may have had Honor-related items removed after a Blizzard Entertainment investigation produced evidence indicating the account had participated in activities designed to gain an unfair advantage in the World of Warcraft Honor system.

Please take a moment to review the World of Warcraft Terms of Use ( http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/legal/wow_tou.html). You may not use or exploit errors in design to obtain a competitive advantage over other players. This includes activities such as automating play to prevent a character from being removed from a Battleground due to non-participation.
