I am p3400+ ns eu. p2300 s6 rank 2 3man and some top 50. I have played actively since the start of d3. Last era I went play on ns because couldnt keep up in the para grind with botters on previous seasons (can but dont want to be forced to play support only). Ended up rank 1 wizard 4man before got owned with change that era continued over patch (took brake when season ended =P) Because there was bans only on season I went back now to s6 with hopes high and booom! rekt! wow! i dont know if i should but same amount time i played this game daily (6-15h) to fight this ban or just move on with life...
so sad.
PARSAKAALI
p3400 , rank 1 wiz and you never used macros or turbohud?
I have hard time believing this.
I got a reply to my support ticket i wrote to Blizzard and they say that the Hacksteam are already investigating those cases further. And its not possible to do it for one account only.
So it looks like this an issue that goes back to the warden and its detection pattern resulting in false-positives. So i suggest that everyone that got affected by this false-ban to write to Blizzard directly to raise awareness on their end on this issue.
My ticket response says if i want to play i should buy new diablo licence from shop. They banned parsakali and some of the names i see everyday, i didnt see belikeme and some others last week in gr channel either. So is this a new way to make money out of people playing regularly.
I have shrugged off my shock but idk what to do tbh.
It also happened to me. To be honest, in a farming build I had a thumb mouse macro that did a click for both Rain of Vengeance and Vengeance.
So yeah, probably against ToS, but seems a bit harsh that they don't even have a warning. I'm not hiding behind an excuse of never doing anything wrong.
I barely hit paragon 1010 and I sat behind my keyboard playing for every single one of those levels. The only thing I can think of that may have put me under a magnifying glass was that I was able to get into the top 100 for DH (but was pushed to about 105 when I got banned).
Not mad, just a bit disappointed. I made a quality of life change with a simple macro and without a warning I am out of the $100 or so I paid for both games because I got them at launch. I'm not strapped for cash, but it wouldn't be so painful if they at least said, "Yeah, we don't want you playing with others, so here is your money back, now kindly leave." It was more a , "We think you are cheating, so we are keeping your money, now GTFO!!"
I am a bit torn though, yes I admit, it was a bit of automation for a generic ToS, but since they aren't specific, if you are using anything other than a basic 2 button mouse and keyboard, that is grounds for ban.
Anyway, for this I am done buying Blizzard games. I am glad I didn't get Overwatch. The small amount of money I contribute isn't going to hurt the company, but at least I know I'm not helping them.
Macros that automate more than 1 Keybutton are considered bots / aka automation software.
This has been told now already multiple times and many ppl got banned for using such macros.
That's why u have been banned. RoV and Vengeance together in 1 Macro is prohibitted
Yep, why I am completely okay with it (admittedly with slight disappointment). I broke the rules, time to find another game to unwind from work with.
I have to hand it to them though, they do stick to their guns.
And yet they sell the diablo steelseries mouse, licensed by blizzard, where you can do exactly that. Bind macros with the mouse software.
Blizzard doesn't sell the mouse, it's only licensed to use Diablo® in the name. And you don't have to use it to break the ToS, you know?
"Here is a great product to use with the game it is themed after. Blizzard got some good money for us to put their logo on it... but don't use all it's advertised functions or you may get banned from said game." :-)
Yeah, it isn't sold by Blizzard, but it is funny that you can get banned using a licensed product with functions that can get you banned. Again, not bitter, just found it funny.
Yea I tried re opening my ticket and blizzard told me they banned me and thats final they will give me no answers or anything as to how their fake scans caught me botting when I have never used anything in my life on any game. Seems to be they either want to make more money from the people that still play the game or they are just getting ban hungry and don' actualy give a fuck about the community.
Bah, the troll poster got deleted so a lot of the prior posts won't make any sense. I will post this anyway since I typed it. Wouldn't want to waste all those extra keyboard clicks...
BTW, I admitted to using a macro. So yes, in their eyes I cheated. Do I feel bad that I cheated, not at all. I don't stream, so no loss of income.
I have a day job, clicking at a keyboard all day. I took one extra click off by doing a 2 button macro.
If I caused the already unstable leaderboard system to buckle under the weight of my macro, I am sorry.
If I endangered any of your lives or you feel cheated in any way, I am sorry.
If I caused any person at Blizzard grief or they lost their job, I am sorry.
If I an extra pink Unicorn died on my behalf or I caused an entire species to die out, I am sorry.
If any unwarranted packets flowed from my home network and caused Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma to a developer, I am sorry.
K, so the last one may have crossed the line (sorry Kanai), but you get the gist.
I have a friend who just got banned and I know he wasn't botting. His ban reason was for botting, as reported by his appeal. The only thing we can come up with is Curse Voice. It has an overlay automatically enabled when you install the program. The overlay doesn't do anything with the game data, as far as we know, but it just shows the people in the voice call. Did anyone else who got banned have Curse Voice?
Funny, I have an acct I have botted 24/7 and not banned, and they are banning people that have not botted at all. Something wrong here.
Edit, yup, just checked that acct. Still active LMAO. Literally botted that acct 24/7 all season until about 2 weeks ago when I decided to quit playing.
Not only botted it but used Thud and D3Helper, along with macros at some times when I manually played it.
I truly feel for those that didnt use these things and getting banned. thats just F-ed up. But its Blizzard, I refuse to play the game anymore until they make some big changes, game sucks ATM.
I have hard time believing this.

I never ever used even numlock, but I guess that is not bannable anyways, or quinn would be banned 1st. He even made a video how to use that lol.
