Tanitha: AFK/Bot Detection & Enforcement
Wargaming has several AFK/Bot detection systems currently in place.
AFK Play
There is no issues with players going AFK at the start of a battle, in the middle of the battle, or even all battle.
It is frustrating for the rest of the team, but we understand that occasionally "Things happen". Whether its the phone thats ringing, the door that's chiming, or your Internet connection which is playing up, or a multitude of other R/L reasons. But that being said there is rules against "repetitive and excessive passive play". If you are constantly entering battles and not playing them for the purpose of unfairly gaining and leaching EXP/Credits, you will be detected and sanctions placed.
Automated Bot Detecting System.
The Bot detecting system will flag accounts which suffer from passive play so staff (Game Master Team) can manually investigate the accounts statistics.
The bot detector looks for trends such as non movement, non firing, or not hitting, and masses of game statistics are available to staff for manual consideration.
When a probable offense is located, this account is then transfered to management for a second investigation before sanctioning takes place.
AFK/Bot Sanctions.
There is only ever one sanction placed for players who "excessive and repetitive passive play" which is a Permanent Game Ban and no warnings are issued for offending accounts.
As such, when a account is sanctioned for "excessive and repetitive passive play" there is no doubt that the account has been abusing the system either with a bot/macro, or manually.
If there is any doubt, a warning for "excessive and repetitive passive play" is issued.
If you have received such warning, please heed it, it means your account is currently under investigation and if your account continues to be played in its current format, it will be shortly be permanently banned.
Reporting AFK/Bot players.
In Game Reporting feature.
Within the game is a complaints system where you may report a player for AFK/Bot use.
These stats are used to alert us to possible AFK/Bot players. Players who have a high number of reports here will receive further investigation into their playing statistics.
Reporting to support.
Reports of AFK/Bot players will not be accepted to support, players who break the ruling of "excessive and repetitive passive play" are automatically reported and investigated, so reporting such situations to support is not required. The exception to the above is if you wish to report a sophisticated bot by providing a replay of the game. Such informative reports are useful to assist in the issuing of permanent game bans.
Reporting to the forums.
Any AFK/Bot reporting or disputing of sanctions to the forums is against the forum rules and will be actioned.
I was caught for "excessive and repetitive passive play"
Disputes on bans placed will not be accepted, bans are only placed after a thorough manual investigation where there is no doubt.
If you wish to continue to play World of Tanks fairly you can get your account back after agreeing to an account wipe.
This wipe will wipe all progress achieved on the account, but will not wipe premium tanks, gold, or premium membership.
A wipe will only ever be offered once.
