This quote is simply not true, sure - I was playing the AH (NO AHBUDDY) but who doesn't?

Is this a report from a competitor on the AH?

What chance have I got to dispute it if I phone Blizzard?

(This was my only account)
Thanks

If you didn't trade gold, then you should call and dispute.

You were caught; don't lie.

You were caught; don't lie.

That has to be the most ridiculous thing said on this forum lol, why wouldn't i dispute it if there was a chance the ban could be reversed? Morality? Yeah..ok

I've read about plenty of people who have had this and had it reversed.

If it was a ban for using 3rd party application then yeah, it would be another story...

Hello xxxx,

Thank you for contacting us regarding your recent account closure. After a thorough investigation into your account, we have overturned the permament closure of your account this time.

However due to the detection of the use of third party software we have suspended you for 72 hrs and issued a final warning on your account. An email has been sent advising you of this action being taken.

We encourage you to read the email carefully and the policies attached

Got this after an hour of opening a ticket, but damn i feel so bad that I lied!! </sarcasm>

EU must be softies then. They can tell you were using 3rd party applications and removed the perm ban, but said here you go, one more chance?

I was issued the same warning on US server. They said i was involved with gold trading and abuse of economy...which was complete BS. but i was botting. I disputed, they said they reviewed my account ( played since beta opening) and said I was good to go.. no threat of future reprimands either.../shrug. I don't bot nearly as much as i used to. I play less then 1 hour a day and a couple hours on the weekend. I progress my characters and such, so its less phishy. I mainly use combat bot. cause i'm just to lazy to face roll the keyboard anymore these days. And...wtf who doesn't use a mining bot haha ;-)

How did you reply to Blizzard?

 

[no1knowsy]

How did you reply to Blizzard?

Through emails

Nah but I had an account get banned. Actually my first ban ever, got it overturned 1 hour after I started working on it the next day.
I chatted with a live chat GM, who told me to send an email, sent it, back up and inscribing in no time.

How did you reply to Blizzard?

I just went to the website and clicked dispute. And there was no option for a personal message to reply with. The email also claimed that I was possibly a victim of being hacked and involved in gold trading. Which neither was true. I had mobile authenticator also. I had to change password as well per the account freeze/ban. I had the account up and running the next day. Was botting again the next week. Just don't be greedy and play stupid from here on.

 

[dnbbear]

I meant; what did you say?
What's a believable story?

 

[jabax]

Deny anything and everything to the grave!!

 

[jabax]

Just say your inquiring as to why it was locked and if there is anything you can do to insure your account is not compromised again.

 

[Owneth]

I write them that I was disconnected from B-NET and then some lua errors and then disconnected from server... They unban me a lot more than not...

This is one of the funnier statements I have seen.
