• War Z Devs Caught Lying in Ban Appeals
    204 replies, posted
[quote]So - my friend submitted a ban appeal. He receives the message - 'We have evidence that you have used multiple hacks. Your ban appeal has been denied.' Here's where it gets fun He then realises he typed the wrong email into his support ticket. The email he gave them is not the email that is connected to his banned account. So to test this I made a new email account at hotmail - I then put in a ban appeal with this account to check. A day later I recieve the same message - 'We have evidence that you have used multiple hacks. Your ban appeal has been denied.' What? This is a brand new account remember? There is no WarZ account attached to the email. So it would seem that they simply have an automated or copy/paste message they are sending to all ban appeals. This 'team' that sergey has told us about that reviews individual cases apparently does not exist. Try it out - make a random email account and use it to send a ban appeal support ticket to WarZ. This is completely shocking in my opinion. It would seem that even if you are innocent you have no way to recover a banned account or appeal your ban. Just to tell y'all - I am NOT a WarZ hater. I am in fact a great lover of this game. I am just very sad and disappointed.[/quote] Source: [url]http://forums.playwarz.com/showthread.php?92522-No-genuine-ban-appeal-system-If-you-are-banned-you-are-done-for[/url] Somehow this doesn't surprise me.
Thats pretty hilarious.
This game just needs to fucking die
I feel like a complete fool for funding this mess.
Why do people still delude themselves into giving these people money?
literally the sleaziest devs
Can this get any worse?
[QUOTE=NoDachi;39157350]Why do people still delude themselves into giving these people money?[/QUOTE] People that have been missinformed or not informed at all. And people with no taste.
I want to try this out, what's the email of the support ? Can't seem to find it.
[QUOTE=Desuh;39157380]Can this get any worse?[/QUOTE] Sure it can they could publish all the credit cards that have bought a copy or sell them to paedophiles or just straight up hire a hitman to murder people.
no surprise here, honestly
Everyone's hating but i bet the guy was actually banned for hacking unless the devs like throwing them around at random [highlight](User was banned for this post ("didn't read the article once again" - Orkel))[/highlight]
[QUOTE=NoDachi;39157350]Why do people still delude themselves into giving these people money?[/QUOTE] It's a game people want to play. They'll throw money at it without reading into it because an MMO-style zombie apocalypse fps game is a game people seem to really want to play.
[QUOTE=Gareth;39157459]Everyone's hating but i bet the guy was actually banned for hacking unless the devs like throwing them around at random[/QUOTE] Did you read past the first line?
[QUOTE=Gareth;39157459]Everyone's hating but i bet the guy was actually banned for hacking unless the devs like throwing them around at random[/QUOTE] It says in the article that they made a fresh email account with no game account attached and they still got that message.
I wonder how long until the lawsuits start
[QUOTE=Gareth;39157459]Everyone's hating but i bet the guy was actually banned for hacking unless the devs like throwing them around at random[/QUOTE] Did you not read the op? They tried it with a brand new email with no WarZ account attached to it and STILL got a "you were using hacks" message. Why can't the WarZ devs do ANYTHING right? [editline]9th January 2013[/editline] I was seriously skeptical when that one dude said they banned accounts for no reason to make you buy again at first but now after all this I wouldn't even bat an eye if it turned out to be true.

Hey, uh, just tried to go to thewarz.com. Its [I]gone.[/I] No timed out message, I don't even get a 404, I get redirected to my ISP's meta-search page. [editline]fsdaf[/editline] Wait, no, thats not their page. Its the #1 result on google for WarZ, but its not their page. hell their page doesn't even show up.

Same here pretty much, gives me the google chrome "Oops! Google Chrome could not find thewarz.com" and gives me the option to do a shitty cached copy.

I dunno, logcutters or something. thewarz.com is what you're probably looking at, and that just rounds me to my provider's personal search stuff instead of the site.

Someone posted this on the WarZ steam community board and it was deleted within seconds :v:
Looks like it's been overloaded/crashed/taken down.
Hey you're right, their site is gone hmm
since when does a forum post qualify as news?
[QUOTE=SPESSMEHREN;39157631]since when does a forum post qualify as news?[/QUOTE] If it's true I imagine it will hit news sites soon [editline]9th January 2013[/editline] plus the post quotes that you can try it and see for yourself
