***Notice of Account Closure***
Account Name: WOW1
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: Impact of Buying Gold - Shop - World of Warcraft

I quit playing years ago and sold my accounts, pre cataclysm even. I returned to play out of boredom when I got sick (cancer) because I cant work atm and I'm home all day. Talk about the suck. Anyways, I shamefully purchased some gold (this was pre ever using honorbuddy.. now I know I can earn my own just as easy.. but anyhow) I used igxe twice and that was that. It was awhile back too. Other than that, I am constantly shipping money or goods back and forth between my alts/characters.. I have 2 accounts chock-full (22) but I cant really pinpoint exactly what caused this ban? Any ideas/help?
Like many, this account is extremely important to me. Its all that affords me an escape from my troubles right now and I have invested a boatload of time. I am an officer in the top raiding guild on my server and while I do intend to "check out" FFXIV when it launches, that is absolutely zero consolation in regard to this.
As I mentioned I use 2 accounts which I multibox, I use them either both on 1 pc, both on another pc, or one on each depending. I also called blizzard yesterday morning to have my authenticator removed because my iPhone is broken. Not sure if its a coincidence or that is somehow related.
That's all the info I have, what should I do? I was planning to call blizzard today when they open, but what do I say? Play dumb or is there an approach I should take? /color me devastated
