Account Name: F*****

Account Action: 72 Hour Suspension
Reason for Action: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy

This suspension happened because one or more characters on the account 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 behaviour 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://eu.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://eu.battle.net/account/support/password-reset.html

Weirdest thing happened - I had been botting my rogue for 6 hours. Took a break, and went on my 85 death knight and queued up for a dungeon wait time was approx 10 minutes, + the killing of the first boss, so approx 20 minutes. I had deleted all of my addons, so my ui was fcked up. We killed the first boss, but i wanted to relog to install the previous addons. (LUI and stuff). When i logged in, my account was suspended. Interesting.

update: Called blizzard support. They said that the suspension was done by a game master, and the doodle on the phone was not a GM, so he couldn't do anything about it. But they are going to forward the issue to a GM again, to look at the situation.
Will update with more.

EU Game Masters sure suspend players quick

The reason doesn't make sense at all.
Abusing the economy by leveling a new character?

Keep us updated please!

Sure it makes sense.

1) leveling a character you can grind or skin for eternity = abuse of economy
2) you are able to complete task 24/7 enabling more drops you can vendor or AH = abuse of economy

well I got skinning and LW on him, but I turned off "Kill between hotspots", because it was taking ages to move on. But then again, i quickly reached mobs that was too high level. So the only thing i've been spamming my bank toon with is cloth and other "ingredients".

So it's hardly that, i've skinned like what, 50 mobs.

Also, i've earned what - like 100 gold on the two toons i've been leveling.

A lock to 54, and a rogue to 43.

I've mostly run the bot when im sitting here, playing another game, and closely watching whatever he does - so this is a mystery to me.

Mine has been going 3 days straight and one random whisper from some guy that made no sense. I assume a GM fishing but I replied so nothing happened if it was a GM.

Well nothing yet anyways

They should over look level botting. Only reason I am subbed is for this reason. I get bored of 1 server go to another, bot that sucker to 85 and then spend the grind of gearing it. Get bored and reroll.

Not like I am selling gold or filling AH with 5000 stacks of ore. I just hate leveling

UPDATE:
To Blizzards Game Masters,

It has come to my attention that my account has been closed, I wish to appeal this ban as I use my account very regularly and I am confused why I am unable to login to my account... actions put on my account need to be withdrawn as I think you have made a mistake, I used to play the game very regularly, and have recently started doing so as I've recently gone on sick leave and have a lot more time on my hands (maybe too much time)... I would be very happy to get my account back and continue slaying the bosses of Dragon Soul.

Best Regards
(My name)
