WoW Patch 11.2 Quest Sparks Suspensions for Players Over Reputation Gains

Blizzard suspends accounts for abusing the Sparks of War quest reputation rewards in patch 11.2.

Blizzard has started suspending World of Warcraft accounts after players pushed reputation gains way beyond the normal limits during patch 11.2’s first week. The issue revolves around the Sparks of War: K’aresh weekly PvP quest, which some players exploited on multiple alts to stack reputation rewards, triggering 10-day suspensions.

Here’s the thing: the K’aresh Trust Renown track reputation is meant to be earned at a steady pace. The Sparks of War quest, which requires completing various activities in the new zone while in War Mode, is account-bound. But it turned out to be repeatable on alts with full rewards, letting players boost their rep faster than intended. Yikes.

Reddit threads reveal players surprised by the bans, with some suggesting World Quest contracts might play a role, but Blizzard seems to have pinpointed Sparks of War as the main trigger. Some suspended players had Renown ranks as low as 7, while others at 9 went untouched. So it’s not about hitting a certain rank but about how the reputation was gained.

Many claim they just played normally with their alts, unaware of any wrongdoing. Blizzard’s track record on early Renown exploits is strict, so if you suddenly notice extra reputation, maybe that’s your cue to rethink your farming strategy.

One has to wonder if any Race to World First guild members got caught up in this ban wave. Could be a rough break if so.

Was Blizzard too harsh with suspensions? Would a rollback have sufficed? Let me know what you think down in the comments.

Summary of the Issue

  • Players exploited the weekly PvP quest Sparks of War: K’aresh to gain reputation on multiple alts.
  • The quest is account-bound but repeatable on alts with full rewards, allowing stacked reputation gains.
  • Blizzard suspended affected accounts for 10 days.
  • Suspensions are linked to the quest exploitation, not just high Renown rank.
  • Players with as low as Renown 7 reported bans, while some at 9 did not.
