The 25th Wave of Bans (September 2025) – Fair Play Policy Update
In World of Tanks, the 25th wave of account bans was implemented in September 2025 as part of ongoing enforcement of the Fair Play Policy. This update targets prohibited mods, rigged setups, and fake fights — with stronger penalties for violations.
📌 Key Details:
- Wave Date: September 2025 (monthly enforcement)
- Region Affected: EU region
- Total Accounts Penalized: 3,547
- Penalty Breakdown:
- ✅ 2,770 accounts: First warning + 7-day ban
- ❌ 497 accounts: Permanent ban
- ⚠️ 280 accounts: Permanent ban for rigged or fake fights
Fair Play Policy Changes (Effective Immediately)
Wargaming has expanded its list of prohibited mods to include any functionality that alters armor highlighting mechanics — such as:
- Allowing armor highlighting outside of sniper mode
- Enabling visibility at any distance (not just during active targeting)
Why this change?
These features were originally designed to improve gameplay clarity and accessibility for new players. However, their misuse can provide an unfair tactical advantage — especially in combat scenarios involving spotting and targeting.
Enforcement & Transparency
- All banned accounts are publicly logged on the official site: bit.ly/43sJZWV
- Players must log in to view individual ban status and details
- Bans are issued randomly for ZM (Zombie Mode) and fake fight cases
Why This Matters:
This enforcement strengthens fairness and integrity across the game. By clearly defining prohibited mod behaviors and enforcing consistent penalties, Wargaming ensures a balanced environment where skill, not manipulation, determines success.
