English speaking customers: Please refer to the start of this mail ***Notice of Account Closure*** Account Name: ************* 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 behavior is the result of a third party accessing the account instead of the registered user (for example, a friend, family member, or leveling service) then the account 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: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/antigold.html 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 http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure. For any disputes of this action or further information on Exploitive Activity, please visit the Exploitative Activity FAQ and contact page here: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/exploitfaq Regards, Customer Services Blizzard Entertainment www.worldofwarcraft.com
Perhaps you should call them and ask them to explain since you have not sold gold. All it takes is for some suspicious behavior for them to feel justified in account suspension or closure. So give them a call and see what they do, you don't really have anything to lose. Morga
see thats the funny thing i turned it on for like 2hrs while i was at school and boom, never spammed anything or did that i would just unload my stuff into the guildbank so im not for sure what all went down all i know is that all my gold i had went to the guildbank so im happy there it sucks keep tryin to call them and tell me to call back later don't they usally give a suspension 1st and then a ban or just a ban out right.
Rofl blizzard will use any excuse same thing happened on my account when I was using pirox awhile back was grinding a warrior and priest to play got them both to 70 and got banned for economy exploitation and I only had about 2k between the 2 characters. I bugged them about it and was told my account was linked to someone or some garbage.
what ever did happen were you able to ever get your account back or no? i just got off the phone with them so we will see what happens the werid thing is that there is not even a 72hr waiting just a straight up ban.
