Name changes only happen if someone reports the name.

My friend had, and still has to my knowledge, a goblin named "Chincdik." He was never reported, so he never lost the name. On the other hand, and friend of mine had the name "Skub" reported and he was forced to change.

Blizzard literally does not care unless some sperg reports you.

I got my Overwatch account banned yesterday gor "hacking". The worst part is that I've never hacked in my fucking life; had a battle.net account for years, and have been playing Blizzard games since 1995. I have no idea how it happened. They just sent me an email which says, basically, they reserve the right to ban any account for any reason, as per their EULA. You get one chance at an appeal, and once that's done that's it. I sent a ticket saying that it was complete bullshit and that I requested a review and that they needed to provide evidence I was doing anything wrong - they replied and said "as per our EULA, blah blah, nope. No review." That's it. Gone. 80 bucks for ine week and I cant do a fucking thing about it.

Fucking garbage. Blizzard are huge cunts, and I'm boycotting everything they do from now on. I still can't believe it happened.

Truth is I'm too much of a fucking noob to even attempt it anyway, I wouldn't even know where to start. Not that it matters.

I remember back in wotlk I got accidently banned because there was a chinese guy teleporting to all the mining nodes and I was near him.

If they keep giving the valve response then maybe they did match a cheat signature or accidently add like a common process that gets picked up, etc.

Except, as you see here, Blizzard doesn't have to give a FUCK. They didn't even give a fuck when people were banned in HOTS and they locked every topic and stonewalled every e-mail/petition that came in saying they were false-banned.

I don't know what made them change their minds to even bother investigating in the first place. I think someone started self-investigating and showed hooks/images and what was setting off Warden.

>>340210475
Except this is only temporary, doesn't give a VAC ban, and is subject to PLEBS thinking people hack. This is actually how Valve originally investigated accounts, along-side their anti-cheat system.

You realize how much shit I get for stuff like this:

there is a video of a shitty c9 faggot reviewing a guy who he deemed was 'hacking without a doubt' but he verbally exclaimed at the beginning of the video 'wtf is this map?', the map in question was dust 1, the suspect's gameplay was not in the least bit dubious unless you had never played on the map and do not know where to go for frags out of the spawns


a lot of people get csgo overwatch access that are severely undeserving of it, even if it was only distributed to those who are the best candidates, you could not guarantee them to always do their job right, it also does not factor in that not everyone plays in pugs so they could be distributing info over an active voice call

Overwatch is one of valve's biggest mistakes for counter strike and it is allowing for continued false positive banning that is now at the hands of OTHER PLAYERS WHO ARE NOT EVEN VALVE STAFF.

this is why people have been shifting away from the pub comp scene entirely in favor of esea and faceit, which unfortunately are subscription based

IDC who draws shit. If it looks nice, I save it and use it. I can admire good art, just like I can be straight and admire a good male body.

On-topic: No, it isn't easily resolved. If they aren't willing to put the time into reviewing your case then they will just stone-wall you. Just like they did with the fellow above.

Companies do it all the time. I know many decent shooters who have been stonewalled before. Some have even been manually banned by developers because they were so confident they were cheating but their anti-cheat system does nothing.

They are assholes. Dustin and their developers have their heads so far up their ass that they check themselves for prostate cancer daily.

He's also a complete autist when he blogged about telling his friend he drew porn and was surprised when he reacted negatively.

Let's face it. Most people that get banned (including myself) wouldn't know shit on how to proceed. As well as not have the money to proceed.

I'd have to go as far as contacting Video Game Attorney if I wanted shit. That'd me a reddit whore.

Either he cheated in the beta or he's lying on 4chan.

Probably both.

And yet, we still don't know if he's telling the truth. So why even defend someone you don't personally know? Are you his lawyer?

It's not about defending him. It's about informing others that anti-cheat systems are not flawless and have a long history of false positives. Everyone accepts their detection accuracy being 100% if it gives out a ban.

I would be so fucking ass-mad if I put hundreds of autistic hours into a game only to be banned because I bought an sound card that hooked onto my game and set off some sort of map-hack detection.

This is why multiple people review the report before it's decided if the person is banned or not.

The only people who worry about false positives are the ones who are hacking and smurfs who pretend to be hacking while they pubstomp.

Then tell me this, whats the percentage of false bans that happen because of anti-cheat systems? You seem to know this topic so well I just gotta know.

>apologized for it and unbanned the people they mistakenly punished

the chances of you being banned by mistake are so low that the people who bring it up are actually in fact cheaters.

There is no plausible way to get an accurate amount/percentage. I do assume most bans are accurate, but do acknowledge that false bans happen to this day.

So in other words, I don't jump the sperg bandwagon with pitchforks jumping in to call someone a cheater because they got banned for cheating.

in theory it MIGHT SEEM like having multiple overwatch reviewers work independently of each other on cases will create a functioning limit:

"limit as reviewers --> higher number per case = quality control"

but this is wrong because of the point I made earlier: a larger pool of overwatch reviewers is doomed to include underqualified people

the trick that valve is pulling off here is making the reviewers themselves feel super empowered for being in the program and the main defenders of it, since most people who play competitive video games with some success build an ego

yes, smurfing is very wrong BUT it should not be a vac bannable offense just like hacking. They are only now taking the right countermeasures with the rank 3 req and the improved matchmaking through mobile phone verification

They have so much money and could just reinvest into a better anticheat. Nobody can deny this.

I got a permanent ban on their forums when I was 16 for posting a generated I Quit message, and also for insulting Mexicans

The ban is still there, yowza

I had a guild named NoubleDigger for about a year and a half before it got reported.
Had about 50+ people who joined on their alts just for the name.
All I got was a warning and my guild named removed .
