Waiting to see if they close out my last two accounts, I've got 3 new ones leveling right now too, /doh

So 1 banned yesterday, two today. Was jsut finishing my 6th and leveling up my 7th/8th

Appears the new auction house account I made flagged my two accounts today.. jsut because I invited myself and took gold out to buy bags to outfit my new auction house toons, wtf is that? the accounts are under the same NAME too, I took out no more than 2kg at a time to buy special mining bags/herb bags.. amazing.

The account closed from yesterday I could see, but that forced me to make a new auction house account today, thus inviting my toons to the guild and using my gold to buy new bags.. I mean really? One of the farmers didnt have the same name, but that shouldnt ding another farmer with the same registered name for inviting a toon to buy bags. No gold was sold today or yesterday.. how aggrivating.

what did the email say you were banned for?

and on your auction account do you just mail the loot to the auction account character or do you deposit in guild bank then take it out with the auction account?

i sold about 2.5m during the 2 weeks of Lunar New Year and they banned 2 of my farmers and the vanilla seller over a week later out of nowhere. i thought i had gotten away clean but i guess not.

 

[tmill]

damn 2.5 how much did you get paid for that? do they often track the farmers from the vanilla or is there a way to mask it?

Vanilla account said exploitative activity, and so did the other ones.. exploitative activity: abuse of economy.

I usually have one account with all my auction toons on it, so I had that on one of my farmer accounts for a bit until it got closed yesterday (sold about mil gold last week so guess tahts why).

So I made a new vanilla, thought well we'll see how this goes since its nothing but a level 1 account but it has the same account name, invited level 1s on each server to each guild, used enough gold from the guild bank (directly withdrawing) to buy mining bags/herb bags to lessen amount of trips to AH.. I did also buy some newbie green gear for some of my new accounts that I'm leveling (on the same .net account as my auction house account), and sent them 500g.. so nothing outrageous.. I mean buying bags and equipping them, listing auctions (same amount as I have since october) and buying greens n mailing them to accounts under the same .net??

So yes, farmer deposits raws in guild bank, auction house toon takes out of guild bank, lists for sale, collects gold out of the mailbox and deposits into the guild bank. I usually invite my vanilla accounts via my farmers then sell the gold thru vanilla and only had vanillas get banned. Losing one account was fine yesterday, but two today just because I invited level 1s from my other .net account (I have two .net accounts with same registered name) and took gold out for gear/bags? Really thats gold selling? rofl.

I replied saying they must be mistaken since the accounts are under the same name and I only took out gold to buy bags with, so hopefully they fix it and dont ban my last two farmers. I used my last two farmers to invite level 1s too with bags.. so maybe I'm missing something..

Meanwhile the new accounts w/ the green gear are happy as can be questbotting away right now.. Sucks since the price of gold going down, going to make it harder to recover but my 6th account is 4 levels away from hyjal herbing so I'll be back to 3 accounts soon and my 7th/8th are leveling now.. guess take another week to get them ready again.. lucky for me I only lost 100kg today, I have access to my gbank that I have another 300kg in, but last server quote from chinese was .45 (och) so thats not much $.

Guess I need to theorycraft a new way for my auction house account.. maybe jsut go back to having it on one of my farmer accounts so it won't get flagged so easily since has a level 85 on it.. hmmph

around $6k, prices during Lunar New Year was 1.9-2.6 but more importantly the demand was insane it didn't feel hard getting rid of 2.5m across 12 servers at all.

I did lose 2 farmers and 3 vanillas in the process, I don't even bother contacting Blizz anymore, I expected to get at least 5 banned so I RAFd 5 on my VPN IP by the time Blizz banned my 2 farmers my 5 replacements were level 70s already almost farmer ready.

Told me that after investigation that all accounts were associated to exploitative accounts, I mean really, a 5 hour old vanilla account is associated, I mean sure yeah, but really? All it did was take things out of guild bank and sell them, ridiculous how they can just steal money like that
