      Kanso, would u mind sharing the ban mail? Since Abuse of Economy is not regular botting ban reason, but one for selling/buying gold or similar.

      Have you appealed already?

      I also had 5/5 banned last night. All were doing arch and received abuse of economy ban on all of them. I do sell gold but not from any of the accounts that were farming archaeology.

      ***Notice of Account Closure***

      Account Name: WOW1

      Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy

      This account was closed because one or more characters were identified exchanging, or contributing to the exchange of, in-game property (items or gold) for "real-world" currency. This exchange process negatively impacts the World of Warcraft game environment by detracting from the value of the in-game economy.

      Even if this is the result of account sharing, the account owner can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.

      We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article: Impact of Buying Gold - Shop - World of Warcraft

      The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at Blizzard Entertainment:Blizzard Legal Documentation. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure.

      If you believe your account was compromised, please go to the following website https://us.battle.net/account/support/account-recovery.html. Our support staff will assist you as soon as possible. If you are unable to access your account due to the password being changed, please visit our Login Support site here: https://us.battle.net/account/support/password-reset.html

      For any disputes of this action or further information on exploitive activity, please visit the Account Administration Overview and contact page here: Account Administration Overview - Battle.net Support

      Same thing happened to my two accounts last night. Will call them Sat and try to get them unbanned - I think it should work. First time ban on the accounts... I was using Archeology to level.
