Post unclear, difficult to determine cause. Please post nudes.

In all seriousness what type of ban are we talking here? Banned from official forums? From the game? Perm ban, temp ban?

Can you still access official forums? Did you pertake in real money trading? (be honest) Did you scam someone in a trade deal? Did you say offensive things in chat?

Most bans are temporary so either it was an honest mistake IF you are permabanned or you pertook in RMT. Unheard off to be permabanned for lesser offenses.

How about using a macro to drink a set of potions in 1 click? Anything like that?

As pointed out, usually you only get banned from this game for really breaking the rules.
Even being offensive in chat usually gets you a chat ban, not a ban from the game.

I mean Global 1 is offensive by definition. :)

We need more information to help you, and honestly, the best bit of help is to contact support, or post on the official forum for help.

Partialy true

the bans come in difrent forms which usualy have difrent ban messages

If it tells you that you were banned and to contact support, then there is a good chance that you were being a scumbag in game and GGG want to talk to you before letting you back into the game

If it tells you straight up that you were banned and nothing else then it's more serious as they are fairly sure you broke the ToS in a way that merits a perma ban....you can email them and they will reinvestigate but usualy at that stage they are only reviewing what they already know and the ban sticks

Then there is the account getting locked becuase if an IP address change which asks you to enter a code

Being a ♥♥♥♥ in global will get you muted, having an offensive name may get you banned until the forcible change the offending name

You should write a comment to support@grindinggear.com and waiting for an anser. This may take some days, so be patient. They will reply to your email.

Yeah, contact the support via email support@grindinggear.com

It might have happened that your account was wrongly flagged as botting by an automated system, especially if you were new to the game (as people usually use new accounts for botting, so the detection system is more sensible with new accounts).

The support can look into it and remove the ban.

+1 @ GGG :HonorStar:
I don´t agree with everything they do, but they try keep the game clean.
-> with your nickname you deserve it I´m 100% sure
Are people blind? He has a VAC ban already in last 5 years. This dude is a clear cheater..

and as YOU related to the OP, necroing the issue.. same goes for you
I have yet to see any unfair ban by GGG. If anything the company is quite relaxed.
Also using a Macro will not necessarily get you a ban as this thread tries to imply.
99,9% a personality issue.. aka L2P and stop botting.

You just quoted a message from back in 2017. :P

Not sure but wasn't that the year they had some issues with false positives on their system that had some new accounts getting banned? Don't remember many of the details but I do remembering there being an issue at one point.

There was an automated ban, once you're around lvl 40. They unban you after you send a ticket, of course.

THe OP also posted in 2017.
Why are people ignoring the fact this was brought back for no reason?

People like me probably didn't see it and the thread was just on the first page and marked as "new/unread posts".
