Email: 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.

I already appealed it. I'm assuming it's either the auctions or the inter-account trading. I used to trade gold and mats between the accounts but stopped doing that weeks ago. They are both in my name so I should be fine as I have never sold gold.

 

Got banned just now as well

 

Both my accounts are reopened now after the appeal.

 

i heard alot of people have been going to that grind area in northend for the valentines day bullcrap. someone may of reported you running in circles or someone got mad at your auction house pricing..

 

I used that area for a while, but there is ALWAYS someone there, it's not worth doing any kind of botting there on a busy server, u'll get reported right away.

 

you can price your items at w/e price you want on the ah chemical. blizz has said many times that the ah is a free market. post as much as you want and at w/e price.

he admitted to sending bulk items / gold from one char to another and on a diff account. thats what triggered the automatic ban. i have gotten one before for just sending gold between chars on the same account. they reverse them quickly.

 

You can claim blizzards says what they want. but i even used the remote AH and maxed my daily AH with it.. few days later... banned ... i was referring too boosting the AH with items not prices, i always underbid the lowest bid by 1 copper. Also i didn't read anywhere up top where it says he sent gold, etc to another account he said he used the auction house 50 times

 

I only sent gold and items(not a huge amount, under 10k) between accounts a few times but that was weeks ago. And there was no one at the place I was botting at the time, I supervised 100% as it was just for a few mins. I can only assume it was from AH spamming.

 

You just said in the OP that you only watched it 50% of the time. Now your saying 100%? Hmm....

Looks like you got reported for somthing. And spamming the AH nowa day's is like a death sentence for botters. Also sending gold to another account threw the mail is also a auto ban. No one knows what the limit is. But i've heard anywhere from 500g to 100,000g. So...

Just fight it. See what happens.

 

No Killa. On a regular basis, I supervised 50%. When I got banned, I had just logged on and started a profile and was watching 100%. Also I have already gotten both accounts back like I said 5 posts ago.

 

I got perma ban 3 accounts too but i appelead and telling a long story of blah blah and got my 3 accounts back now

PD: Looks like from 5 to today of february there were many bans dont know why

 

I keep getting this ban on my accounts. I know its for the amount of auctions I have put up but how? ... I only post 10 stacks of each item on each character and I have 7-9 characters I use for auctions. so Like 10 elementium ore and 10 twilight jasmine on each character. How am I getting picked off? why am I being banned for such little auctions?

 

not likely with that small amount. go to The Undermine Journal and pick your realm, see how many people post 500+ auctions a day on the same character, they are there day after day, they don't get banned.

G

 

I havent gotten banned yet *crosses fingers* but i see alot of peoples bans get lifted. What excuse did you use? Just curious so i can know what to say when and if it does happen.

 

true, but.. I never sold gold for like a whole month and then I got banned for exploitative activity- abuse of the economy. but in the ticket they then said it was for botting. the only link between the two would be too many auctions therefore they thinking I was botting which is - abuse of the economy... how else do you explain getting that sort of email?

 

what do i write just got banned and need to know what to say in appeal to get both my accounts back

 

So:

Funny how I was about to post a new ban thread and saw this old thread on the forum header.

Anyways, got banned again as of 2/15/2012.

Still haven't appealed yet and this is my 3rd time getting banned this same month.

Profile is in mixed mode with Twilight Highlands and Uldum. THIS TIME, I made sure I kept an eye of the bot as long as it was running, and sure enough it got fucked during my custom Uldum profile.

What's everyone's thought about having my ban lifted? 3rd time.. is a lot lol, regardless how much I bullshit my way out of this one.

 

Its for using ingame mail to send herbs and ore and/or excess botting for long periods. Its a auto ban and a lot of innocent players got caught up in it aswell.

 

what did u say to appeal for your first one? i just got banned for the first time after 2 months of having bot :S

 

That's pretty much my format for the first and relatively my second BS.

Not sure what to put on my next excuse, so if anyone can help me out will definitely appreciate it.

**ALSO**

For those people that got banned with Abuse of Econ. , feel free to use the format I use. It's 100% Guaranteed Account Lifted rate. Now in terms of multiple account closure, that I do not know.

So again, help would definitely be appreciated with a 3rd-time-being-banned excuse.
