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.

I have a couple of family members that play on my account at different times and we have not done anything wrong to our knowledge . We have read the terms of service and dont understand where we went wrong. The banned says the following.." Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy....so this must have been auto mistake or glitch as i wasnt contacted in game . I have never partisipated in any ilegal activities such as gold selling or buying.. We have been playing a few more hours than usual as we want to level to get our food and flasks etc. So it was alot of gamming contiuiously playing as we love the game. So can you please take my ban off so i may continue to play again.So we do love playing and each of us can play for like 6-7 hours at a time due to our work schedules....lol please help us in this matter...thanks Sincerly (my name).

Stating that other people (even if they're family members) play on your account makes a weak appeal, as this is just as against the rules as botting is.
I have never gotten a suspension or warning before and just got my account permanently locked. I didn't even bot that much but left it running for a few hours without watching it. Am I done or any chance of getting it back?
petitioning, i really dont care either way. i quit for 3 years and the only reason i started playing is HB if they dont want my business they can blow me. just write it up like wtf butthole i had a raid tonight lol..
YE i got 2 accounts banned it seems like these mini ban waves are becoming closer and closer to eachother
What are the chances of them reopening my account and when i call them tomorrow should i switch up the story a little or stick with what i said in my online appeal?
I really dont care if i get it back.. When it happend before and i had the same mindset i had it back within the day.. But really i dont care there loss me and my friends will just go back to playing GW2 and blizz can suck on deee nutz and i wouldnt change your story if you already submitted the thing... people who lie cant get there storys straight... Thats why cops questiong you upside down and backwards... Ive already submitted mine... to who it may concern... I had a raid tonight... your "system" screwed me out of my raid slot and a day of CDS on my proffesions... Pls look into my account actions as i have dont nothing wrong... DarKmoon fair is coming so ive been grinding herbs extra hard lately.... Each passing day is a day wasted... Kindly unlock my account or ill gladly take my money elsewhere...

when they replay you that way, there is not much thing you can do it. If you re-open the case, they will send a e-mail telling that is decision is final and will no replay any futher e-mail.
They reopened it but still banned for 4 days when i get it back what should i do continue to bot or lay low for a bit? If it happens again its closed for good
Before anyone do something stupid, please check http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorb...n-reports/26380-guide-avoiding-banhammer.html
I do notice that these ban waves almost every time occur there is a "MOP" or cata exclusive -50% offer. Anyone see what blizzard does there?
