Wrongful ban and a warning to those who box to farm

Hello again, Gage.

When we last spoke, I'd requested some of our developers look into the situation. Because we couldn't eliminate the possibility of a mistake on our end, we opted to reopen each of your accounts.

While you're welcome to resume playing, I want to encourage you to abandon any third party software that does anything more advanced than key cloning. The moment there is any level of outboard scripting or automated interpretation/decision making, the line between multiboxing and botting has been crossed.

Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to seeing you playing for years to come.Regards,

Supervisor Borroq

Congrats!

I haven't farmed gold in 8+ years, so I am not sure why players/boxers are farming gold. Only reason I farmed way back when was to sell for money.

Some of like farming for gold. It's a play style in itself and many of us like doing it

Playing normally gives plenty of gold.

What, exactly, is "playing normally"? Just about everyone I know plays differently. Some raid, some PvP, some farm gold, some never leave the AH and just flip things all day long. To each their own and I don't think there is a normal in such an expansive and diverse synthetic world.

Additionally, what is "plenty of gold'? I have millions at a time and it's not enough. I always want more and there is always something I can spend it on if I choose to do so. Others may be fine with a few thousand gold or just enough to pay for a few things they must have. Others still look at my millions and think damn, how can anyone get by with that!?

If you can afford to box then you can afford to pay the subs.

What? I can afford to box because I don't have to pay cash for WoW subs, xpacs, game licenses, etc. I haven't spent a dime in real money on WoW since I could buy battlenet balance with tokens. The ONLY real money I spend to play WoW is my Inner Space sub.

I feel that ever since HBu**y went bye that there are boxers, most of them are new who are circumventing this play style for profit. Using semi=afk,afk stand still farming using repeater software on macros for dps/looting on as many characters as they can for a couple of bucks. These are fucking sad people.

WTH is wrong with profit? My entire goal in WoW is profit. It is my play style. I don't raid, I rarely pvp, I don't care about most of the quests and such other than on one account that I started with over a decade ago. The whole point in me playing is to master the economy and make as much gold as I can in as many ways as I can. Farming, AH, crafting, whatever. I like it all - FOR PROFIT.

What is circumventing the play style? If it's within the rules, who cares? Everyone can play however the hell they wish. The only thing I see about that that is sad is being so upset about what other people do.

Whilst I've been typing this I am also hitting the 7, 8, 9, 0 keys to skin obs that some other multi-boxer if farming.

Grats, Nezreck!

I've never been banned other than absurd chat bans for being abusive by replying to someone who was actually abusive! lol So I don't do that anymore, hell I don't even use the occasional expletive even in direct chats/my guild channels anymore. People are way to sensitive these days. Or maybe they aren't at all and just get a kick out of the perception of power they get by pretending to be offended all the time. Who knows.

i'm blown away my dudes it was pretty frustrating but managed to work out, right after i gave up too

Congrats

Well, I've been prepping to reactivate my teams for a couple weeks now. Congrats on getting unbanned. As far as I've seen, every thread about banning has so far resulting in the ban being overturned. While that is sort of good news, it is annoying that boxers seems to be getting mis-banned fairly often now.

I'm going to re-up, probably tonight. I must say that among my first options will be to post tickets on each battlenet account re-stating that 1) I am a boxer. 2) I do not automate. and 3) I fully expect people to file false reports on this account. So, please place whatever note you need to on these accounts to avoid improper banning.

A false report is still a false report. It is not what gets you banned. It is what gets you looked at closer than without being reported.
If you track through all teh reports of being banned on here enough, you'll see a trend. People hyperspawn farming for the most part.

8 balance druids with GSE macros for sunfire-sunfire-sunfire starfall, location was the island NW stormsong valley on the NE beach where there is a mining machine,beached boat wreckage and the venture co mining mobs, no monk statues, no standstill. I was actively running around just pressing 2 over and over, then used interact with target to loot mobs - repeat

Seems more widespread than hyperspawn farming.
