      My Blizzard account is ******************** I have been using this account for months and I did not do anything to violate the rule. However, they closed my account for no reason, an email came in with a very brief description. They don't accept complaints, and customer service won't overturn the punishment. I have spent a lot on this account, but I feel they do not treat me as a customer.

      Dear BBB representative,Theme: Blizzard game account blocked for no reason appeal I submit this complaint to you with a heavy heart, because my Blizzard game account was banned for no reason without obvious violations.

I ask BBB to intervene and help me communicate with Blizzard Games to find out the real reason for the ban and seek to restore my ********** order to support my appeal, I have attached the following documents: Screenshots of account recharge and purchase records prove my investment in the game.

      On August ******* my account was banned for hacking or cheating. Regardless of the infraction. Penalty was permanent ban. After several tickets of pleading as i have no history of getting in trouble in world of warcraft they finally put me on a 6 month suspension(still very harsh). To add to this My wife account had been logged on my computer and she is currently ban and has been unable to get unbanned for the same infraction. **************** has no human reaction nor listens to my plea to have mercy. Please address that not every person that makes a mistake is a bot and that you have real people that enjoy world of warcraft to escape from everyday stress and depression.

      So they answered the ticket with TOS violation and decision upheld.  Please please please is there anything you can do to help?  I am at the point where Blizzard does not care about the loyal fans that make mistakes rather tosses away 18 year loyal fans. Below is the attached response..

      Dear Blizzard Entertainment Customer Support Team,I am a loyal player of Overwatch, with the in-game name [ShangHyz#****]. I write to you with a heavy heart due to an unfortunate turn of events. My account was maliciously hijacked at an internet cafe, subsequently leading to an unjustified ban. Below are the details of the incident:I stepped away briefly to handle personal matters. Upon my return, I discovered that my Overwatch account was accessed by someone else who engaged in misconduct, including player abuse and disruption of game fairness.I received the ban notification on several days later, citing violation of the game's conduct policy.I have always adhered to the game's rules and had no history of violations prior to this incident. Evidence Submission: I have contacted the internet cafe management, securing surveillance footage that confirms I was not the one controlling the account during the incident. The cafe management can also provide a statement attesting to the account hijacking.Behavior Record: I am willing to provide my historical gameplay records to demonstrate my adherence to game rules.I respectfully request a reevaluation of my account's ban. I am committed to enhancing my account security and preventing any future occurrences.I am ready to undergo any necessary investigation to prove my innocence and hope that your team will understand my predicament.I am deeply passionate about Overwatch and respect Blizzard Entertainment's rules and decisions. I believe that through this appeal, I can receive a fair resolution. I look forward to returning to the game as soon as possible, to continue enjoying fair competition with global players.I kindly ask your team to consider my appeal.

      Dear BBB representative,Theme: Blizzard game account blocked for no reason appeal I am a loyal player of Blizzard Games. I am extremely shocked and saddened that my account was banned for no reason without any violations. Tens of thousands of money have been recharged into my account, which is not only my investment in entertainment, but also my trust and support for Blizzard games. However, there is no explanation for the blocking of the account. This kind of inaction and contempt for consumers disappointed **** invested a lot of time and money in this game, including buying in-game items and upgrading services. This game is not only an entertainment for me, but also an important part of my life. The ban on the account not only made me lose these investments, but more importantly, it deprived me of my dignity and fun as a player.I have tried to communicate with Blizzard Games, but unfortunately, I didn't get any substantive response or explanation, and only the automatic response system responded to my complaint. I firmly believe that this ban is a mistake, because I have always followed the rules of the game and never participated in any violations. I ask BBB to intervene and help me communicate with Blizzard Games to find out the real reason for the ban and seek to restore my ********** order to support my appeal, I have attached the following documents: A screenshot of the account recharge and purchase record proves my investment in the game.

      Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to seek your assistance in a matter concerning my Blizzard account, ******************** I have been an avid player of Overwatch for several months. During this period, I have invested a great deal of time and passion into the game. The more than 400 hours I have spent playing is a clear indication of my dedication. Additionally, I have made in-game purchases totaling more than 30 US dollars, further demonstrating my commitment.On September 10th, my game account was closed under the pretext of violating the user agreement. But I am firmly convinced that I have not done anything wrong. After a careful review of my gameplay, I can find no actions that would violate the agreement. My game records are completely normal, with no signs of improper behavior.I will be attaching my in-game purchase records to prove my identity. My game account holds great significance for me. It represents not only the time and effort I have put in but also the friendships and connections I have made within the game. I sincerely hope that you can communicate with Blizzard and persuade them to review this penalty once again. I desperately need my account to be unban so that I can continue to enjoy the game and the community it offers.Thank you for your attention and help.

      I have appealed on the official website of Blizzard. But you only use repetitive AI responses to perfunctorily deal with me. I request BBB to assist me and ask Blizzard to review my account again and unblock it.

      Greetings BBB,

      Thank you for reaching out on behalf of this customer. We have reviewed the matter an additional time, and we have arrived at the same conclusion.  According to Blizzard’s internal logs, the records show that an unauthorized third-party program was detected when the account logged into the game server.  Upon review of the logs for the account, Blizzard has discovered that the access matches the customer’s normal play patterns. 

      Blizzard has determined that the account shall remain suspended on the basis that a) the account was not compromised, and b) its subsequent use of the unauthorized program.  Furthermore, the account is not eligible for a refund of the requested services due to a violation of the End User License Agreement (http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/legal/eula.html). This action is taken in accordance with the Blizzard End User License Agreement which all users must agree to upon creating a Blizzard account.

      Sincerely,
      Blizzard Entertainment

      Dear Blizzard customer service, hello. My ********** ID is ******* # ****. My Overwatch account was permanently banned on September 13th this year. My account has not engaged in any violations or used any third-party software. I suffer from severe depression, and Overwatch is my favorite game. In the past two weeks, I have had to use a lot of medication to relieve my pain. I feel worse and worse, almost on the brink of suicide. I hope you can understand me and verify my video to prove my innocence. I hope my account can be unbanned as soon as possible. Thank you
