If so, what are their names? No ***** Initial Notice ***** ***Notice of Account Closure*** Account Name: xxx 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: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/services/anti-gold/ 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://us.blizzard.com/company/legal/index.html. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure. ***** 3rd Appeal response ***** Greetings, My name is ****, and I have just concluded a thorough investigation of the battle.net account and the permanent closures of the account. While we regret to take actions of this nature, our terms of service are in place to keep World of Warcraft both fun and safe for all of our players. I have investigated the account in question, and it appears that the use of a third party program occurred from the registered play location for this account. We apologize for the miscommunication with the initial email - the original action was due to the utilization of some form of unauthorized software. These sorts of software generally automate some aspect of gameplay. When we perform an action such as this, we review an account and the location from which it was played, as well as our logs of the event to see what might have caused the action. As this action has been reviewed three times now, this action will not be overturned. Please note that all players agree to our terms of use upon playing the game, which can be reviewed here.
