And have a secondary WoW account on the same battle.net, will that account share all mounts/pets/transmog/achieves etc??
If so then it’s like making an alt without access to gold or stuff from your other toons.
Saw posts about this on reddit after the banwave and I have a hard time believing this.
They share the collection but I don’t have experience with bans so the ban could be for all the wow accounts on the battle.net account.
Question Is why do you ask that particular question?
You about to do something sus?
Who knows 
Naah was just curious since a ban will lose a lot of meaning if that’s the case.
What’s the ban wave that happened about? Sorry I’m just out of loop.
Account sharing and boosting thing?.
iirc i have read somewhere that you can have a second account attached but i cant exactly remember anymore so take it with a grain of salt.
Only the offending wow account is subject to penalties earned on it. If you have multiple wow accounts within your battle.net account you can play on those providing you do so legitimately.
Sure but they supposedly also contain every account bound item, title and other thingamajig from the first account.
Anything that is Bind on Account is shared to all wow accounts. So Yes, titles, mounts, achievements etc.
You can have as many licenses as you want. I have 3. My main. My US one and some license i have no idea why i created it in the first place which also never bought any xpacs.
Unless its from EU to US or vise versa.
I’m just curious, is that a common practice in the video game industry? Are there other game companies treating bans the same way where the punished accounts can still access all of the collections and BoA stuff on a 2nd license and keep playing on that license after the first license gets banned?
Anyone who knows of other video game companies with that policy? It’s an honest question, because I want to know how common it is.
Well firstly, I am not aware of any other game company that has something similar to the Bnet App. It was introduced in 2009 as a way to play all blizzard games from one place, sharing one login, one payment wallet etc. Having things shared over game accounts was easier to do because of this app. I’m not aware of others but there may well be some.
I suspect that the reason only the offending account is banned, is because of legal implications. We pay to play and if we offend on an account, it is only that paid account that has commited the offense, so it may be that they cannot legally action all wow accounts on the bnet account.
Potentially but i wouldnt count on it. The person has caused a contract breach. So technically Blizzard can just bann all of your licenses for the duration since the punishment is aimed at you as the individual. For example if youre perma banned and you get a new account you can just be banned again.
Many companies behave like that. If they realize its you despite being banned your new or alternative account will also get banned. Riot does this constantly for instance.
And i have seen Blizzard do it for Overwatch players as well.
It’s not reliant on the bnet app, the tech is made so it falls under the umbrella of the bnet account.
The account is made able to carry several licenses, which has nothing to do with the app.
Depends on how the legal text is phrased, if it specifies bnet account then it includes all licenses under the account, but if it specifies the game’s license and doesn’t mention other licenses for the same game then it’s limited to the offending account, as you put it.
^ And that’s a good point, Blizzard does retain the right to do pretty much whatever they want in their lengthy legal texts which enables such actions. So regardless of what account is specified, they do retain the right to ban you from everything if they want to.
I think that their logic is that multiple people play on the same bnet account, only with different wow accounts. At the end of the day they lose their sub and the use of their chars for the duration of the ban.
