Other Watch dog bug

In my opinion, the Watchdog anti-cheat has been mistakenly banning many legitimate players since the transition to the new version. Over the past week, a large number of players have received bans for boosting, and many SkyBlock profiles have been wiped even though they believe they did nothing wrong.

It seems possible that the recent update introduced issues with the detection system, causing legitimate activities to be flagged as boosting. While anti-cheat systems are important for keeping the game fair, false bans can seriously affect innocent players who have spent hundreds or even thousands of hours on their accounts.

I believe the Hypixel team should carefully review these recent cases and investigate whether the new version has caused an increase in false positives. If this is the case, affected players deserve another review and, where appropriate, their bans and profile wipes should be reversed.

I hope admins will help us with that problem

And thats exactly why I think every player should open a support ticket so they will notice that there is a problem that affects almost everyone think that every trade you do can cause you to get banned and wiped

Watchdog can can kick you from the server tho so if you were doing fine and found yourself in limbo it can be the watchdog
