wtf can I do? They closed my d3 account and my appeal without even telling me what I did.
I know I did nothing with diablo never botted or used any mods and as I told them the only thing that can relate is that I often ran in the background the Crusaders of the Lost Idols game with a simple autoclicker script.
Nothing to do with diablo WTH is this!
"Account Action: Account Closure
Offense: Use of Third-Party Automation Software (also known as bots)"
"While I definitely understand the frustration in this matter, we can assure you that a very thorough investigation was completed on this account. Even after an additional review, we have still concluded that we will be standing by our decision on this account and the action will not be removed under any circumstances. "
What in the world has that to do with diablo. It does not interfere with the game at all.
I'm guessing the software they use to scan for possible automation programs simply checks to see if one exists and not to see if it exists and what executable it is affecting.
As far as continuing on in D3 your only option is to buy a new key and start punching tombstones. Tomorrow you will start out the new season like everyone else... with nothing. World keeps spinnin'...
hey, this happened to me too in 2013, I had exact same reply to support like you, they seem to automatically respon to our supports with same crap, I was banned for 4 months they said I bot automated program crap, and I did not nor use any kidn of programs, not even auto clicker, most I ever used was frpas for photo when find items owrth something on auction house that's all. I sent 10 support cases, they all said they got good proof I bot but they wont show it to me, but I didn't. so after 4 months I was unbanned without any notice from that permanent ban they kepy saying: "our decision on this account and the action will not be removed under any circumstances". so since I was banned innocent, u are banned innocent, I now belive there are loads of people blizzard ban innocent , I got all those reports as proof but who cares anyway, but me.
Well I've never been banned before so maybe I'm getting this wrong, but they say your account is now closed. So doesn't this mean you've already gone through a temp ban period in the past?
they said exact message as the 1sst post on top, that they wont unban its permanent crap but they unbanned me 4 months later, why ? probably becasuei m innocent! so I'm still palying since , so I guess this guy will be unbanned too who knows when, like I was
If you use any automation programs while a Blizzard game is open, Warden can detect it and will flag the account because of it. There is no safe time to use automation software while you have a Blizzard game running, even if it's "only" for the other game. You should take this lesson learned and make sure not to repeat this mistake in the future.
I got banned from WOW cause my razer mouse was with a script on. The script made me press control that was used for other steam game. They said that i was botting, bot is wrong. My suspension will end in July, so i just lost 3 months of subscription and my will to play the game. So congrats blizz.
Do you know what is the funny part? People saying they are baned due to simple macros.
I used BOT, Thud, d3helper, logitech gaming software more macros, and my account is still active. By active i mean not banned, but its innactive since i quit this game
I really feel that its not the Warden that detects the 3rd party. If they are still keeping their words, and not scanning the memory of the game due to EU laws, then how they know? So either its not the warden, or that EU law does not work as people say.
I fully understand why you use macros, many build just requires it for efficiency.
Anyways, i hope you will get your account back! Good luck mate! I had good experiences with their support centre, but looks in these cases they cant really help Best Wishes

which is a big joke to be honest... if it does not interact with Blizz game just leave it out..
Honestly, this whole reading memory thing and banning is a tad silly. If what the OP says is true, then his argument holds merit. You cant police a game by what a person has running on their computer, alone. So what if he was running an auto clicker for something that was not interacting with Diablo (just going by what the OP claims), just having something running does not warrant a ban. Its all about the interaction.
I would honestly speak to Blizzard about this. They should be able to come up with additional evidence, besides only 'you had so and so program running', if you are in the wrong.
They could deal Fair with such Situations... delete the Chars / Progress / Gold etc...
Perhaps 4 Weeks suspension etc....
But locking up your Licence, blocking you entirly from Service...and basicly robbing you of the Money you've paid for the Game is plain Criminal. They perhaps do so with the Mindset = They are only Stupid Gamers and addicts, they gonna pay again for a new one = Win / Win from a Marketing Point of View. Less traffic on the Servers..etc
I am a Fan on Blizzard Games since i can think...
But this Corporate Bullsh!t is making me sick to my stomach.
Honestly, the methods used by Big Game Companys are plain harassment.
And i am just waiting for the glorious day someone with the right amount of cash in the bank lawyers up against this chicane.
The ToS they hide behinde don't hold up in Legal Court. Not for a second (at least here in germany).
It just needs someone with the right Balls to stand up against this Shenanigans...
When you violate a traffic law, you get fined... you maybe get your licence revoked. But you get a chance to redeem yourself.
Not so in the Big World of Videogames.... The Companys play God.
Like Nero in the Coliseum in Rome.... Thumb up / Thumb down. Off with the Head.
Nothing they can lawyer against, it is in the terms of service report that you all agree to when you play the game. "You will, NOT USE ANY AUTOMATED SYSTEMS, when playing Blizzard games." They also say "we regard the right to treat these situations with any punishment we see fit, from warnings, to suspensions, to permanent account bans"
I would recommend people to read things before they sign them.

... sounds just like steroid using athletes ... I never used a cheat program, and if I did, I don't know how it got on my computer ...
i would call them and talk to them. thats how i got my wow account unbanned back in BC

This guys sounds like a bot to me, just my opinion though.
