***Notice of Account Closure***

Account Name: ***
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 - 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://us.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://us.battle.net/account/support/password-reset.html

For any disputes of this action or further information on exploitive activity, please visit the Account Administration Overview and contact page here: http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/300515

Looks like they just did a sweep, one of my accounts got closed at the same time for the same reason
 
they just hit me up to I am trying to find out whatever information I can get

I am def going to appeal what is the best thing I should say
 
same here, same time. Now this account botted VERY LITTLE. Gathered herbs and mined, about 2 hours max per session with longs breaks in between, entire night offline. only was lvl 90 for like 4 days.

damn how the hell did they catch on so fast
 
I appealed saying in summary that I got banned and that I dont understand why since I have never traded gold for real-world currency, and that all the gold I've made rencently is still on my character.
 
Sorry for your loss mate, is this US or EU?
EDIT : nvm mate, i was sleepy didnt see the last line :).

Really hope you get your account back.

Don't email them, call them up on the phone and plead your case. It's a lot more effective on the phone because it's a lot easier to say "no" through email.
 
Trying to call today, I'm surprised they would complety close my accout for posting 100 auctions (nothing says in their mail that I was botting).

Arn't they supposed to go through the "volcano" pyramid when they ban ppl for offenses, unless abuse of economy is a super big offense that puts you into the last step of the pyramid ??
 
As usual the phone support isnt of much help, but the guy on the phone was cool, and said he could speed up the process of responding my ticket by a GM. He told to me explain what I have been doing (posting more auction than usual and I didn't know it was a problem) and it should be easier to dispute the ban.
 
Good luck. I guess its just time before my bot gets banned. Im trying to level my fishing so i can farm fish also for a period of time
 
Ok it worked, can I consider this like a final warning ?

I would appeal again but call them, not via e-mail. I would ask for details and state that you did nothing wrong.
