Nelle ultime ore è partita una pesante ondata di ban su Heroes of the Storm. Era chiaro che la situazione molto difficile di cui vi abbiamo parlato qualche giorno fa non potesse che andare verso la direzione di una pesantissima Ban Wave ed infatti cosi è stato.
La novità però è stata che alcuni degli account finiti sotto inchiesta e poi giudicati colpevoli erano assolutamente innocenti.

After performing an additional review of the evidence considered in this action, we’ve determined that a small number of players had their licenses deactivated in error. We have reached out to those players directly to inform them of the error and restore access to the game. It is our mission to make Battle.net a fun and safe environment for all players, and we sincerely apologize to those who were impacted.

Cheating and using hacks while playing Heroes of the Storm or any Blizzard game will not be tolerated. These actions undermine the spirit of fair competition that’s essential to play on Battle.net, and can lead to stability and performance issues with the service. In Heroes of the Storm, cheaters ruin the competitive atmosphere not only for their opponents, but for their allies as well.

We recently suspended numerous accounts and issued permanent bans to Heroes of the Storm players who were found to be in violation of the Battle.net Terms of Use for cheating and/or using hack programs.

As always, maintaining a stable, safe, and secure online gaming experience is a top priority for us. We’ll continue to keep a close eye on cheating in Heroes of the Storm and stamp out offending accounts to uphold the integrity of the game.

Dopo aver fatto scattare il ban, in Blizzard si sono resi conto di aver accidentalmente colpito anche alcuni giocatori  che utilizzano un particolare Hardware sui loro computer.
Immediatamente riattivati gli account presi per sbaglio, la Blizzard ha mandato una mail in cui si scusava per l’incidente regalando a tutti quelli che erano stati accidentalmente colpiti uno Stimpack di 7 giorni.

Questa la mail di scuse mandata a chi aveva subito il ban per sbaglio:

As part of our ongoing effort to protect the play experience on Battle.net and combat exploitation and abusive behavior, we recently deactivated a Heroes of the Storm license on your account. We’ve reviewed the evidence and determined that this action should not
have been taken, so we have reactivated your license for play effective immediately.
We strive to make Battle.net a fun, fair, and safe environment for all players, and we’re sorry that this error became part of your experience with our service. 
As a token of appreciation for your patience and understanding, we’ve applied a 7-day Stimpack to your account to boost your experience and gold earnings in-game. Please accept our sincere apology, and our commitment to learn from this as we continue to refine our process. We look forward to your return to the Nexus!
Regards,
Blizzard Entertainment

Sperando che questa nuova Ban Wave aiuti la Blizzard e la community “sana” a sconfiggere quella componente tossica che utilizza cheat ed hack non possiamo far altro che aspettare i risultati di questa iniziativa dando appuntamento a tutti voi nel Nexus.
Buon game!
