Hi guys yesterday I brought around 50k gold from a website everything went as it should got gold in 10 mins, then this morning I log on and find an in game mail from blizz which basically says I have an Important email on my bnet account. the email is from WoWAccountReviewEU@blizzard.com. Code: Greetings, In light of some recent activity on your World of Warcraft account, we?d like make sure you?re aware of the negative impact that buying gold from third-party companies has on the World of Warcraft community -- as well as the potential consequences for players who are found to be using such services. Every day, we encounter players who have been victims of in-game scams or whose Battle.net accounts have been stolen, and who log in one day to find their characters? inventories have been stripped of gold and other valuable items. The overwhelming majority of these scams and thefts are conducted by unethical third-party companies that sell stolen gold to other players for real money. Accounts of players who choose to buy gold and support these exploitive companies may be subject to a variety of account penalties, including the removal of purchased gold so it can be returned to the rightful character. Third-party gold-selling companies frequently prey upon dedicated players -- often including their own customers -- without regard to the disruption their actions cause to the game and other World of Warcraft players. Ultimately, without players? support, these companies have no way to continue their unethical actions, and that?s why we encourage the community to refrain from using their services. Additional information on the negative impact of purchasing gold, as well as some important information on how you can protect your account from theft, can be found on our website at: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/services/anti-gold/ Thank you for helping us keep World of Warcraft a fun and safe environment for all of our players. Regards, Blizzard Entertainment http://eu.blizzard.com/support/ My account isn't banned or suspended as of yet, but i have no idea what I should do? could anyone offer me some advice, if action is taken would it most likely result in a suspension or a perma ban?
Scam email? Blizzard would either suspend you, take the gold away and give it back to the account that it was taken from or just remove it from the game etc.
No idea mate, the in game mail had the blizz icon and 90 day timer and was from customer services, and the time stamp on both were the same
This just means that its a warning. Nothing really, they wont ban you. just DO NOT BOT or BUY GOLD on that account for a while. Ur being watched.
happened to me back in tbc days.. around the time i quit wow and got back @ wrath and then quit it again to come back @ cata anyway nothing happened to me but i stopped buying gold for sometime .. "i still haven't botting FTW" so you should too.
Why do you need to buy 50k gold when you have HB? Seriously you can make that in like 2-5 days depending on server.
So use your second account to make gold and transfer it over? Also botting on your main account to make gold is ok as long as you supervise which you kinda have to do for levelling anyway due to the quests that require human interaction.
