Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hello.

I got banned today while being afk in AV. It was like many others a looong AV and after a while my wife had me feed the baby. So i went to do that and after a few mins i asked my wife while passing by to just take a step forward so i wouldnt be thrown out. This happend once and then i noticed i was brought in to justice. I was told this is sharing the account. She has her own account and never get to use mine. She has no access to my account or characters. I have had no warning or screwups on this server, always being the friendly fair dude in the game.

This is not a good reason to perm ban someone. I could accept a warning or short term ban since yes i did a screwup. But compared to the list of punishments this isnt fair. Simply labeling it as Charing the account is stretching the rule very far imo.

Character name is Knotfan on Nostalrius PVP server.

You was told correct: letting your wife play your account IS account sharing, and therefore bannable.

If you don't have time for playing a battleground, then don't join it. 39 other people was waiting for you.

Like i wrote, i did a screwup with the afk in bgs rule. I dont argue about that. In the rules it says that leads to warning. My wife tapped forward one time while passing by. Could have been myself but wasnt that time. I accept a punishment for that, i can take the warning (for being afk in a BG) and maybe some extra since it wasnt me that tapped the forward button this time. But a perm ban is taking it to far. We aint sharing the account, she has her own and no need for her to use mine.

This is why account sharing is against the rules. Two players sharing an account gets an unfair advantage farming honor. You went afk and got someone else to keep you in the game, someone who plays fair can't do this.

It does not matter if she got access to your account or not. You got someone else to play for you to gain an unfair advantage.

In the rules it says that leads to warning

No, account sharing leads to an immediate account closure. No warnings are given.

Being afk is against the rules anyhow. And if i kept doing it in anyway i would be banned nonetheless. But thats not the case here, shes not playing my account. she was just keeping me from being afk that one time.

My advantage here was not to be afk in AV right away, which im getting punished for either way. If we she was actually playing i would get an advantage. By looking at my rep on that char its pretty clear this is nothing i usually do.

Mimma i clearly stated that the AFK in BGs rule leads to warning. Not the sharing account rule.

You don't get it, do you? We are not talking about AFK'ing in a battleground. We are talking account sharing.

shes not playing my account. she was just keeping me from being afk that one time.

And to do that she had to play your character: move it from time to time. Yes, you shared your account and got your punishment.

Feel free to create a new account without sharing this time.

I know the big topic here isnt about the afk in bg rule, but that was what i was writing about that the actuall sentence you where commenting about.
