These companies really don't give a flying fuck about law unless you appear on their doorsteps with a lawyer (metaphorically speaking) or you're very convincing in your claim to pursue your goals by legal means. Like the wow account I had banned before there was anything going on that could've been verified. Actually from what I could gather the whole AGB (as we call the agreement shared with blizz) seem to be in disharmony with our laws, the very basis of being forced to agree to a contract after or even through buying an article is in disharmony with said laws. But unless you play serious with them, nothing's gonna happen, they'll just say fuck the law. Now if you're a major gold seller and make a few thousand in cash every month you might consider the hassle worth the payout, otherwise you're just fucked. The best you can usually do with "these people" is beg for mercy and let them know how damn sorry you are and what a little wimp and all that. I actually got an account restored within an hour after selling 200k gold from it. And got banned again and got it restored again (final warning!) and I just kept botting and nothing ever happened again lol. These gm's are regular people with a heart and if you come across as a desperate guy, they'll be a lot more okay with gold selling and botting than when being a smart mouthed prick wielding law books. Same goes for dealing with all kinds of officers and whatnot over here in Germany. You gotta master the art of persuasion by inducing empathy. I've done so several times with cops (red lights blah blah, dozens of times), state attournees (major (!) dmt lab, got off with a warning; severe assaults on the honor of a group of pseudo cop security guard type people which should've lead to a massive (!) fine), and other types of folks (squeezing more cash out of the gouvernment). God I'm such a low life lol. Anyway, you get the idea: Forget arguing, get through to their heart! I'm dead serious.
On a sidenote (a true highlight regarding these tactics imho):
I crossed the street free handed with a cell phone in my hand while the traffic lights were clearly red. Cops pull me over, the "officer overly important and sergeant straight cock" types, the chick had her little book and a pen in her hands, about to write a ticket and I just go: "Oh no, please no, not this. I have a kid!" And she goes "Are you gonna beg now?" and I go: "Yes, oh yes I'm begging you"
And they suddenly turn into real human beings made of flesh and bones and with something almost resembling a friendly smile on their faces they let me go on.
Lol, acting is great, I'm the worst liar there is, I've never had anyone believe my lies unless I believed them myself. A pinch of truth and a pinch of a twist in that truth can go a very long way. I should still be in freaking prison for that dmt lab (didn't have a kid back then ofc)... I didn't even pay a single cent though!!!!!
