    I saw this on Reddit and it might help deterred people from buying this game if they are still on the fence if theres even a fence left. The management of this game so far has been very very poor so far for most people and their as always been talks of the random banning/ banning without a real reason because the management of the game thinks they can get more game sales that way or so its been rumored.. They do have an appeal system if you do get banned unjustly to sort things out and maybe do right by their customers but I guess that's maybe another for lack of a better word "scam".

    I wouldn't suggest trying it like the poster says in the image and flood their system with fake reports. Take it for what it is (random forum post) but it looks like that its yet another nail in the coffin for The War Z debacle.

    Has there been any actual evidence that they are banning accounts in order to sell more copies of the game to their "hardcore" userbase? Or is is this just another unfounded internet forum rumor?

    @MB: I haven't seen any hard evidence proving that's why people are getting banned and you will probably will never see any, unless they get hack or emails or something gets leaked out but odds are you won't see any. A lot of people are just saying that's what it could be because of other things being said as to this game just being "quick money" for the companies in charge of it all. I hope it isn't true because I hate to see people get ripped off.

    Their twitter states all bans are permanent. So why have a system to get unbanned?

    Well, this definitely gives me a good nudge in which direction I should be going.

    In this case, away from War Z. I'll be over in my corner, playing Day Z, handing out my beans to all the bandits.

    @Diablah: This game is a horrible joke. Tell everyone! Don't spend another dime! Trying to get your money back they simply say, you bought it, too bad. No proof needed if banned. The "appeal" process is apparently automated and the devs are injecting hacks into the customers accounts to top it off! My malware has caught them over and over trying to upload malicious files into my computer. They finally got in last month and took out my entire c drive. These guys are true fuckers. I'm first in line for a class action law suit. These are the dumbest fuckers on the planet. You don't keep players money and hope they return or even just go away quietly! International criminals is what they are. Fuck hammerpoint. More like needledickpoint.
