Question for Game Masters

[The Fapmonsoon 14]

First off, I have always been on the side of "If you were banned, no matter how much fuss you make about how you did nothing wrong, you messed up."

That being said, I see ban waves come through a lot and it seems excessive. Mind you I am not used to a pserver that is as populated as this one is, but I cant help but wonder what kind of percentage of people who claim that it's an error, actually are proven right? Vanilla was always a major grind and even though I am only 36 I feel the amount of time committed was valuable and am just getting a little worried. I have seen MANY times where a GM has chimed in on someone claiming it was a false ban and proved the way it was done even (gold selling) and amounts with dates so I would love to believe this is 10% or less of the player base that is incorrectly banned even though that's a 1 in 10 chance.

There are likely never mistakes with bans.

 

Each ban is verified multiple times (if they request a review).

Obviously the systems in place can have false positives, but they'll get reviewed too to verify if its correct or not.

You wouldn't believe the number of people who break the rules in the TOS. Even "good" people in good guilds do it all the time. It amazes me that people often willingly put their accounts in harms way but they do. So the amount of bans isn't excessive given the population. Don't do anything against the TOS (it's easy) and you can sleep like a baby.

Cool, just wanted some reassurance on it since the forums are constantly flooded with "I did nothing wrong" and I just started to feel uneasy thinking maybe I was wrong for saying/thinking that they are guilty.
