Account hijacks are one of the most common ways for an account to get banned. Not true, sorry.
Less than 1% of bans are caused by account hijacking and rule breaking.
The figure quoted at the time the new Appeal System was being researched and set up was 0.027% of bans were being caused by hijackers.
This was just from the sample set of accounts that were put forward for an examination of whether they were hijacked or not.
For example the 29th April - 5th May Player Support Stats page states that 182,076 accounts were banned that week.
Only 82 appeals were lodged and, of that 82, only 33 appeals were successful.
So, that week, only 0.018% of bans were decided to be caused by hijackers.
Note: that player support stats page is from 2019.
To be rigidly fair with the figures, not all appeals lodged that week would have been on bans placed that week and some bans placed that week would have been appealed in following weeks. But the figures give an indication of the state of play in the Appeal System.
Most account holders don't bother with the appeal system as they already acknowledge the account ban is justified.
Apologies for this post but that was a very broad statement you made.
There's no need to apologise!
In fact, i should be the one to apologise, given that i didn't research adequately
Not to mention, it would be detrimental to the player asking for advice, if i were to spread false information.
With that said, i've noted down this error on my part, and i will make sure it won't happen again.(hopefully)
Appreciate the data regarding the bans though!
Thank you once again for the correction!
