Nope. I'm sure that those who were wrongfully accused will return after ZOS investigation is complete. They would at most have lost a few gaming days. This is, in my opinion, a small price to pay to get rid of the cheaters.
Try weeks to months like the email has stated.

Havent gotten an email, but now I'm worried...
Its unlikely this is happening to anyone on consoles. If this is not ZOS going after cheaters, and doing a poor job of it, then its either related to add-ons or the recent update the PC crowd received. More than likely your game crashed and will be fine when you log in next.

Neither do I but unlike you I know what is happening and am not sticking my head in the sand denying it.Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.9 -

BackStabeth✭✭✭✭✭Someone has claimed in a private message to me, that 100s of people have been banned and posted on a reddit post. Can someone confirm this, and send me a link privately? I would like to see the post. I searched Reddit and found a few people who stated they were banned, but not 100s.1 -

Isn´t that pretty backwards?
They could just not ban ppl and just flag accounts to investigate and if nothing if found the people are not bothered?

People make mistakes, and software can have bugs that may ban people, but this is ridiculous, at the very least admit that you made a mistake. Explain how this happened, why did I get censored after I made a forum post about it?
This was obviously ZOS' fault and they're gonna pretend this never happened.

I understand there needs to be bans, and false positives will happen, but when you mess up on such a huge scale and try and cover it up, you're practicing terrible corporate ethics, and the company deserves to be burned for that. Since you admit that this ban wave was a mistake, think about how you would have felt if you got banned for no reason, its just a stupid policy and bad coding.AD: R E G A L/Halle Bear-y/Regal Implar/ l l l l DC: Enel/Blue Imp EP: Regal Pimp/Chuck Bear-y/Red Imp10 -

What is your evidence that ZOS are trying to cover anything up? If they were doing so they wouldn't be re-activating the accounts, would they?
Do we yet know if they are re-activating every single banned account? I guess it's too early to know.1 -

This was obviously ZOS' fault and they're gonna pretend this never happened.
This didn't just inconvenience me, it affected an entire raid guild. I get to feel like garbage for missing a raid and letting down 11 other people and 1 other who had to come as a sub. Considering the nature of the initial false ban, I'm not logging back in until some official word on this comes out. I don't care about how their anti-cheat system works, I don't cheat or exploit and have been very vocal in any raiding guild I've been in that I won't do exploits (I skipped various exploits such as no deaths in dungeons until they were fixed; wouldn't do vAS+2 when Felms wouldn't jump properly; etc., etc.). I don't need or want an in-depth analyses on their cheat prevention measures. I want an assurance that this won't happen again, or something I can do so as not to be falsely banned again (other than some random unhelpful post saying "don't cheat").@Troodon80 PC | EU

That aside, so glad you are back. I was sick for my friend honestly over it. She has dozens of homes, all decorated painstakingly to the hilt, to lose that would have been devastating. I don’t know if she’s unbanned yet but I hope these all go away. And for whatever it’s worth, thanks to the mods for not killing -this- thread and anyone who came here to attack “cheaters” may want to take a breath next time.
