two seperate servers banned at the same exact time for abuse of the economy but none of the toons were involved in gold selling so i have no idea what just happened but my butt hurts

 

[lostsk8r]

sounds like what happened to me, linked you somehow and if you reply to the ban emails they'll change them to third party software instead of abuse of economy.. good luck, hope you were using a proxy or somehow could say compromised.. lost 7 accounts in one day then 2 2 days later then i got more and lost one each day for a week.. kept watching me. change your ip, or hide it, change/hide your mac and i'd even do the hardware ID, and get new accounts.

sorry for your loss, looks like they're stricter, buddy of mine just lost 6 last weekend also.

yea you were right i got the same copy and pasted response for all the accounts

also, does anyone have any clue how they nailed my accounts... i mean none of them touched gold all they did was deposit items into a guild bank, it wasnt by IP because i still have multiple accounts still alive that have been botted as well, any ideas?

 

[suntzzz]

maybe the ones that are still active haven't been reported as much

 

[Mario27]

Thats why i never do alot of accounts just one is enough if you lose that mutch accounts you lose alot of money

 

[lostsk8r]

I would think just tracked where things came from? hmm. I had accounts banned few days later too, was like 7 on a saturday, then 1 on sunday, 1 on monday, and suspension or ban each day after lol, so change what you can

 

[Munich1]

Well on a positive note, i got 2 of the 8 back. those apparently were locked due to being hacked?... lol no idea how that manged to happen but yeh so i got two back and i changed my IP and new guilds etc so im back up and running. Blizzard aint ever gunna hold me down!

 

[lostsk8r]

I wouldnt go crazy on the two accounts you got back. When I was losing accounts every day for a week after losing 8 initially, I had gotten two new ones that I logged into with my IP so then they watched those, automated ban on both of them and then said they were compromised.. well two days ago (which is 8 days after I got them back) they got banned again.. so they watched them. I did fortunately (somehow) get them "compromised" again because I changed VM's and proxies when I got them back.. but now I'm going to bot a couple days maybe then stop.. hopefully get those accounts unmonitored

I'm also very interested in something that happened to me recently, I invited my friend to my guild to take out 22k, he was on an 85 DK and I was on a lvl 1 toon but the highest char on the account was level 71.. I was banned 10 minutes after my friend took the gold and left the guild.. 22k gold too. I didnt think guild invites were flagged like that, so I'm starting to wonder if thats how they're nailing some people..

I just had my three close friends lose all 6 of their accounts (6 each) in one swoop, about a week apart each time (one friend one week, other friend week after).. so now I'm going to try to use an xtra vanilla to invite hoping it wont flag my farming accounts.. farmer invites vanilla1 who invites vanilla2? thne vanilla1/vanilla2 get banned? hmm

 

[Munich1]

Yeah, when i got my bans anyone who withdrew gold from my bank within the last 2 weeks got banned.. like small amounts of gold sometimes in the 100s. blizz has gone crazy trying to catch gold sellers lol

 

[lostsk8r]

Crazy, makes me nervous on how I should get rid of my gold I remember the time I made a vanilla account to use for auctions, and I accidently took out 20k instead of 2k for bags and got banned hour later and it killed two farmer accounts, that was a bad day!

I used 4 accs 24 / 7 for 12 months, GB. Herb Farming / Min, the bank problem. I sold a lot of gold. Farming accs got to invite acc bank and deposited in ore and herbs in guild bank and leave. Bank acc selling herbs / ore in AH. A third acc (selling vanilla)widraw the bank to deliver to buyer. This work 14 months. Some times, selling vanilla was banned. Delivery and bank acc used in other computer, but same ip. Now I see a change of blizz. 4 accs were banned for abuse of economy. I changed ip, mac adresses network, computer formated, etc.. After 2 weeks other four were banned again, into this last month. Automatic recovery worked for of them. Is there some new method, automatic detection? Number of ores / herbs, amount of items deposited in bank or something similar? Number de join/leave guild? Delivery and bank accs survive.
24/7 work for me with 4 accs for 14 months. I see a new change in automatic detection. Maybe 24/7 or interaction with gbank.
Honorbuddy leveling acc in same computer survive. If you use any methoded of farming and selling gold shared here, please. Sorry for bad english.
