World of Warcraft Hunter Player Suspended Unfairly

A Hunter player in World of Warcraft was recently banned for keeping a Carrion Bird pet with its default name. This strange incident left fans confused and frustrated, despite its comedic nature.

Blizzard is known for taking bans seriously. In January, World of Warcraft banned a significant amount of accounts for botting, cheating, and other violations. Similarly, Hearthstone also implemented bans in February.

Some bans in World of Warcraft may be given unfairly. A WoW Classic player named Nobuuudy shared a screenshot of an email they got about being banned from the game. They had a pet from the Carrion Bird family as a Hunter in WoW Classic but forgot to rename it. Other players reported the default name "Carrion Bird" as inappropriate multiple times, which resulted in the pet being renamed and the player's account being suspended.

WoW Player Banned Unfairly Over Pet Name

It is puzzling how a player like Nobuuudy could be mistakenly banned in the first place. Some speculate that fans wrongly reported their character as a bot due to the use of a default pet name. Others blame the automated ban system, linking the error to recent layoffs at Microsoft affecting Blizzard's customer service team.

Fans had mixed reactions to the situation, with some finding humor in it by joking about Hunter players in World of Warcraft or creating parodies of songs. Others expressed frustration with Blizzard, debating about the fairness of bans. Despite differing opinions, most agreed that the ban on Nobuuudy was unlikely to be overturned since they were not in the wrong.

Unfortunately, World of Warcraft Hunters have a history of unfair bans. In a thread by Nobuuudy, players shared proof of Hunters getting banned for using default pet names dating back five years. Some players have also been wrongly flagged as bots, like a 70-year-old Hunter who was banned for being mistaken as a gold farmer. Nobuuudy is not alone in facing a mistaken ban, and sadly, this issue may continue in the future.
