No more than 24 hours after the World of Warcraft community started taking about a mass ban wave, Blizzard Entertainment and the team behind World of Warcraft have released an official response.

As is always the case these days, World of Warcraft players took to Reddit and the official Blizzard forum to complain about being targeted by mass bans. Most of the ban recipients claimed they weren't aware of the Chronocloth Bolt and Azureweave Bolt cooldown. Many believed that Blizzard was too quick on striking down the banhammer. Thankfully, the spirit of Christmas got into the hearts of the World of Warcraft devs and they've since reversed their decision.

Here's what they said in an official blue post: After further investigation, we came to understand that some of those we suspended likely didn't have a deliberate intent to exploit and were simply doing something that appeared to be naturally available.

As a result of this, we've heard a lot of feedback about the crafting UI and tooltips therein, and we're looking into improvements that we can make there in a future patch.
