The account suspension situation in World of Warcraft this year is indeed quite serious, especially after the crackdown on the Chinese server, many proxy players’ accounts have been banned. However, it is interesting that most of the banned accounts are actually temporary, even after being banned multiple times, they are still temporary, and there are rarely cases of permanent bans or equipment recovery. Of course, it is also possible that some players have been permanently banned, we just don’t know. However, there is a player on the US server who is not so lucky. Fortunately, he has appealed back. So what exactly happened?
Norrinir is a player who I believe everyone is familiar with. If he were banned, most players would not believe him because Norrinir is a SIMC developer who focuses on game data simulation and career intensity analysis. His analysis results are often cited by the player community. Many strategies also reference the player’s data in various analyses, which can prove that the player has a certain level of strength, and this type of player is unlikely to find someone to practice or use assistance.
The most important point is that Norrinir has been active in the World of Warcraft community for a long time, even participating in game content development and optimization suggestions, especially focusing on the balance adjustment of mage professions. Many adjustments to the mage profession were actually proposed by the player Norrinir, and Blizzard adopted the player’s suggestion and continued to optimize it to make the profession more balanced. This is such a powerful player, but his account has been banned, and the reason for the ban is puzzling.
That’s right, Norrinir stated that his account was permanently banned for using cheats, but he said he never used cheats at all. It’s possible that Blizzard’s system recognized other software as cheats. So the player appealed and @ everyone in the group, so many people who may know Blizzard conveyed the matter, and eventually his account was unblocked. But when the player appealed on their own, the official only allowed the permanent ban to be changed to an 18 month ban.
However, Norrinir was also unlucky. Before long, his main account was blocked again for the same reason. Still, there is no solution to the appeal, and it was resolved by contacting Blizzard through acquaintances, as well as Norrinir’s own public posting. However, in the end, Blizzard admitted that the ban was a mistake and compensated for 30 days of game time, but the specific reason for the ban is still unknown to everyone.
However, Norrinir said, “I am well aware that I am one of the lucky few. Most players who encounter the same problem do not have the influence or network like me. Their account suspension will only be evaded by customer service, and there is almost no way to appeal. In the comments of my previous post, someone was still saying ‘there was no such thing as a suspension’, hoping to completely break this misconception. So, thinking about it, if he didn’t have that much influence, this matter would have been left unresolved.
Many people have always thought that the operation of Thunder Fire is poor, while the operation of the foreign server is good. However, from the current situation, there is not much difference between the foreign server and the domestic server itself. Customer service only deals with trivial matters and does not solve anything. Unless you have the ability to contact the official, if you do not have the ability to contact the official and increase the popularity of your post, then being banned can only be considered unlucky and you will not receive any compensation. Isn’t the reason Norrinir can receive compensation just because he is Norrinir?
So many times, don’t blindly praise foreign servers, let alone blindly criticize Chinese servers. The difference is not significant, it’s just that everyone has put a filter on foreign servers. When I go to play foreign servers one day, I will find that these filters are broken. In addition, Blizzard should investigate what software caused the system to mistakenly identify it as a cheat. If it is not a cheat, can it be optimized to prevent more players from being mistakenly banned, as ordinary players have no way to appeal.
