LootAlert: Yeah you think it's just innocent and awesome to use, but it is still 3rd-party unauthorized software. Suck it.
Exp/Hr calculators: I've seen one or 2 that reads your exp automatically and such, yeah your ban is deserved. 3rd-party unauthorized.
Macro software for keyboards, mice: Razer, Logitech, etc. That software itself is against the ToS. Whether you used it for macros or not, it is unauthorized 3rd-party software, and not allowed to run while D3 is active.
Mumble: Has a feature that attempts to read a player's location ingame and adjust 3d sound for your voice to correspond to other people's locations ingame. The reading of such memory will trigger Warden and end in ban.
PS3 gamepad on your PC: The software used to make PS3 controllers work on pc = 3rd-party unauthorized. Also features multi-key macro abilities.
And just so we're 100% clear on something. Something doesn't have to interact with D3 to be considered unauthorized 3rd-party software. Google Chrome isnt made by Blizzard, thus it is 3rd party unauthorized.
Winamp.
ITunes.
Anything that isn't Windows and Diablo 3.
Your account will not get cleared this wave.
This wave was targetted at something specific. You banned boys go ahead and exchange phone numbers and figure out what little toy you all used that ended up getting you banned. Then you all start a support group for people who thought that Blizz wouldn't notice or care about using LootAlert or whatever else you were using.
Happy QQ.
Get over it.
I don't even know what LootAlert is.. all your lingos are..very helpful.
Ok so I was using itunes , I was even watching Gundam Seed on my VLC player. those are 3rd party.
I guess the consensus here is, Just play the game, and don't do anything else. lol.
meh, i'll still file a ticket, in the mean time path of exile it is.
You don't get banned unless you are doing something that can get you banned (third party program is an easy one)
I have a main and a bot. On the same laptop I would play with a bot and when I wasn't botting I would play with the main.
The main account hasn't been banned but the bot did and you want to know why? Because I was botting with a third party program when I had game running.
Why do people like you ASSUME that all of the players who got banned are Botters and Hackers? Are you sure that Blizzard has their thing right 100% all the time?
Answer is no. Mistakes can happen. Blizzard should read this post and ban you for good since you admit that you bot in the first place.
Hi there forum, check out the thread i posted aswell. I'll relink it here. it's called. Banned in Diablo 3
I was banned on January 22, 2013. and I didn't hack or bot. Read the thread. Let the thread grow, so it goes out on the public, and maybe..just maybe Blizzard can read it.
Funny thing is,if you saw the youtube link of my video,(posted on page 3), I received a lot of messages on youtube that they were banned due to third party application usage aswell. So it's safe to say that yes it was "banwave"
With this I am going to assume that the bans were not done by an individual but by an automation script, to ban all that has a red flag on the account.
This could also mean that there might be some collateral damage, assuming their software is not 100% accurate, i mean seriously what software has a 100% pass rate,
Assuming that they have banned 1000 people, 80% of them sent an appeal message, I am pretty sure that they wouldn't have the time to even read our request and appeals. (They might be even sitting down infront of a computer, eating a donut, drinking their mountain dew and laughs at all the excuses they see.)
I am going to say this flat out, whether your a blizzard fan or not. To them(Blizzard), we(Customers) are just numbers...They don't care as long as people still pay for their products.
@Moderator: if you can read this, I hope you don't mind if I link the thread to the youtube video. So people that were banned, can use this thread and share what happened to them. (if it's not okay, please send me a personal message, i'll take down the link)
blizzard only ban for botting or third party software use in banwaves, a few days ago banwave hits to AH botters only (not DB or "play" bots). I took banned my 2 ah bots accounts too for botting but i have 2 new bot accounts + € xD
you are ah botter, dont lie us.
Sorry I don't think you have read my story, this is the first week I played the game since it came out. and you assume that I know about AH botting? Good for you that you bot,. But I don't.. Good day to you sir.
I would get the money u spend on AH back via paypal... and make a conflict. Try to Call write Tickets do everythink u can ... just as much as u can maybe u get someone who can help u.... which server u play? Eu / US?
I can't the money back because I use my Credit Card. I play on the US Server.
1. there is an edit button for a reason, doubleposts are annoying already, six in the span of 6 minutes is just...
2. there are pretty much three options:
- you're lying and you did make use of third party programs, sure you never used macros or anything?
- you were hacked by a botter
- you were banned by mistake (rather unlikely)
the only ones that can help you are blizzard employees, given the amount of times you already talked to them and are still banned; two and three are pretty unlikely.
3. why even bother posting here? nothing you will say or post here will prove anything. the video you posted is at best just a confirmation you weren't botting 24/7, nothing else.
Again, you are entitled to your own opinion. You can defend anyone you want, blizzard or me doesnt matter. thank you for the reply.
Thank you for all the reply. As of this moment, All the emails that I have been getting is "The account is already upheld". I don't know what that actually means, maybe it's really banned. I won't give up. I'll keep on sending those tickets.
Blizzard claimed that I was botting, where as my account was not even logged in at the time of the ban. that the account wasn't even active for months and months. and I have only been playing the game again for about a week, with friends mind you.
I know Blizzard made a mistake, to all of the Blizzard fans out there telling me that their "warden" or "GMs" are 100% accurate, I tell you this, I know they made a mistake. Because I have read a lot of posts and experiences that they got banned for no reason(im not saying that I believe them or anything) and...I got banned for no reason. Or even if there was a reason, it is unjust to get a permanent banned where I didn't do anything remotely close to hacking or botting.
I will keep on fighting.
I will let you guys know how it goes.
You haven't played for months, installed a week ago, and have 2 chars at around paragon 10 and one at 30+?
Something doesn't add up here.
No I have 1 char that is paragon 19, and 2 chars that are just level 30+
Paragon 10 is a little more than one whole Inferno playthrough on MP1, 3-4 casual hours. Easy if he boosted himself with ~350m RMAH gold.
Btw OP, you bought gold on RMAH right? And not from third party sellers...
Yes from the RMAH, the equipment of my barbarian.
You can have my account checked if you like. its smokeMcaroni#1336
With your judgement(on my gear) tell me if it was a bot, here's my rant on youtube too
.
this gameplay video was taken before the day I was banned. roughly 15-18 hours before I got banned. You can check the time on the upper right hand of the video.
I was playing in Window Fullscreen mode that's why there's a skype popping in and out.
I have every gameplay footage recorded. Im trying to be a famous youtuber. but with this rant probably I wont be.
I have 1 char that is paragon 19, and 2 chars that are just level 30+
with the Gear that I have with my Barb, running Alkaizer Runs 5 times aday on MP level 3 - 4 is quite easy. My barb build is a WW barb.
You can check it if you like here's my id : smokeMcaroni#1336
The witch doctor was just created recently and was boosted by a wizard, a barb as you can see on the video link I posted.
I think it's the time when I was playing Diablo 3, and open Guild Wars 2 at the same time. I was with a party playing DIablo 3, and my guild buddies told me to log in Guild Wars for a Change guild event. So I did. Probably Warden thought I was botting with Guild Wars 2 opened.
I don't know I am not sure. But at this point, that's the only thing that I could think of that is remotely close that can trigger a ban. playing 2 games at the same time. on of both games will think im botting or something. I dont know.

My name is Gino. Sadly, on January 22, 2013 my Diablo 3 account got banned. Blizzard claimed that I was using a bot or a hacking tool. I wrote them a ticket and even called them multiple times still no avail.
I am not typing this to ask for any sympathy, I am not asking you to believe me that I am innocent. All I need is an advice and help. I know I am innocent. I have not used any software that can bot nor hack.
What's trouble some is , Blizzard will not tell me what triggered their counter measure so I could check weather I have it.
I feel with ya.
Last Week my SC2 Account got perma banned for hacking / exploit.
Funny Thing is... i dont even have SC2 installed since over a year.
Wrote Support and explained everything... they dont even listen.
I had digital HotS CE preordered, and canceled it due to the ban...if they dont want Money, thats fine with me.
Fuck this Company, serious.
Yeah, I have my diablo 3 uninstalled for the past many months since it came out. I just recently installed it on my new SSD last week. After playing for about a week. I get a ban. LOL. wasted my time playing this. and trying to prove my self that I am innocent.
Whats funny is, I was in a party most of the time playing this game.
It's not about my account, nor the money I have invested. It's about whats right. about justice.Its about letting the world know that there is a company that is so unforgiving, that doesn't listen and that doesn't care. If we don't stand up against a tyrant...then pretty much we live f****ed up world where gamers who bought the game and who are innocent has no say whatsoever.
