      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 - Services - 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: http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/300515

      Regards,




      Account has never been used to buy or sell gold. I am guessing some of my private herb/ore buyers are selling gold and thus why I got banned.

      Just sent an appeal ticket.

      UnTrue. I got one acct banned this morning i appealed and 9 hours later my acct is back open. This is the 2nd time in less than a month the acct has been closed for the same exact reason and both times has been reopened in less than 12hrs.

      So, interesting thing....My account got reopened with no issues, but look at their response:

      Please take a few moments to look over the World of Warcraft Terms of Use (Blizzard Entertainment:World of Warcraft Terms of Use), as we take matters involving the integrity of the game environment very seriously. Please understand that should another incident of this nature arise in the future, it is possible that a different outcome will be reached, up to and including Account Closure.

      The Terms of Use state that you will not "...modify or cause to be modified any files that are a part of the Game Client or the Service in any way not expressly authorized by Blizzard" or "...use cheats, automation software (bots), hacks, mods or any other unauthorized third-party software designed to modify the World of Warcraft experience..." Additionally, the Battle.net Terms of Use (Blizzard Entertainment:Battle.net Terms of Use) state that "You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the Login Information, and you will be responsible for all uses of the Login Information, including purchases, whether or not authorized by you."

      Thank you for your continued correspondence in regards to your account and for respecting our position.



      I was banned for abuse of economy and the response is for 3rd party software.....odd.

      Its because you got a blanket ban, abusing the economy because we know you are botting. The bot clause from ToS is them trying to send you a little hint that they know you are botting.
