Second Letter
Greetings,

Thank you for contacting us concerning the recent action taken against the World
of Warcraft account xxxx. While we understand your concerns regarding the status
of this account, we take matters involving the integrity of the game environment
very seriously.

Please take a few moments to look over the World of Warcraft Terms of Use
(Blizzard Entertainment: World of Warcraft Terms of Use), which all players
agree to upon initially logging into the game.

The Terms of Use state that you will not "...modify or cause to be modified any
files that are a part of the Game Client or the Service in any way not expressly
authorized by Blizzard" or "...use *****s, automation software (bots), hacks,
mods or any other unauthorized third-party software designed to modify the World
of Warcraft experience..."

Additionally, the Battle.net Terms of Use (Blizzard Entertainment: Battle.net Terms of Use)
state that "You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the Login
Information, and you will be responsible for all uses of the Login Information,
including purchases, whether or not authorized by you."

Due to a second thorough review of the circumstances involved in this account
action, we have made the decision to modify the previously communicated
penalty. This additional review took into consideration a variety of factors
including the history and standing of this account. Please understand that
should another incident arise in the future, it is possible that a different
outcome will be reached.

Please review our in-game penalties policy (Blizzard Support)
which states that "we must also factor in the severity of the infraction and how
often the player has violated our policies in the past. Based on these factors,
the penalty may be moved up the Penalty Volcano, up to and including Account
Closure."

If the previously issued action resulted in the closure of this account, the
account has been reopened and access restored. Should any action be required in
order to regain access to this account, an additional email will be sent from an
@blizzard.com or @battle.net email address with further instructions. If no
additional correspondence is received, you should be able to access this account
using the password that was valid before the account closure.

Thank you for your continued correspondence in regards to your account and for
respecting our position.

Sincerely,

Blizzard Entertainment

I would love to send what I wrote to everyone but we can't all use the same letter if we plan on getting accounts unbanned.

I CAN however give you the key points I hit that I felt Blizz would respond to in my favor the most.

1. Make sure that they know it WAS you using the account and not a third party or hacker.
2. Explain real life scenarios that would have led to what you were doing. (I had 2 accounts in the same region so I told them I was grinding with an RL friend & they bought it)
3. Check your logs to see what happened. If you tell them you left auto run on thinking you got stuck and they caught you while you were grinding you just lost your chance.
4. Explain why you WANT to continue using Blizzard products but can't if they are going to respond this way to their player base. Kiss up.. And then bite
5. Explain you were unaware that hack programs existed for online games. Playing the dumb card can work in your favor so long as you use it sparingly at the right time in your letter

And last but not least goodluck :)

Can you plz pm me a copy of the letter you sent to Blizz to get your account back =)
 
Yes would be nice to know what did you write or tell them by phone. please pm
 
can i may have a copy to pls?
have a lot of accounts banne (around 50 ?!)
maybe i get one ore two back too
 
Your accounts were beeing banned due to an scam email and not by using third party software.
You did accidently click on an link in an scam mail and got hacked.
I think, that so many people here got hacked and think that they got banned due to 3rd party softwar or abuse of economy.
 
I would like a copy of the letter you sent as well, if you don't mind :)
 
Guys, are you really that iliterate that you can't write your own covering letter. If you all use the same letters i'm sure theres less chance of getting your accounts back!
 
I just want to know what he said that got him unbanned. I've written several eloquent emails and have failed to get one of my accounts back.
 
I would love to send what I wrote to everyone but part of what Jvidia said is true. We can't all use the same letter if we plan on getting accounts unbanned.

That is the real Blizz email address my man.
 
I get 5-6 "suspension" and "ban" emails per week...that go directly to my junk folder. most of them are from "the real Blizz email address "..emails are easy to phish. Most of these emails aren't even sophisticated enough to cover their tracks, and looking at message headers you can see exactly which hotmail account they originated from.

the links *look* legit, too...but a lot of times they'll misspell a word in the link...or just set up a subdomain somewhere that has worldofwarcraft in it, and a lot of people fall for it.


you have to be really careful nowadays...usually when i start getting too much spam on a certain account about my wow account being locked and such, i just change my battle.net email address to yet another fresh gmail account used just for WoW (and possibly other game subscription crap) and start fresh.


here's the last email I got:

now a few of the issues with this....
1) if it really were blizzard..they would know what my name was..and use it...or at the very least mention the battle.net account name (maybe it only applies for older pre-battle.net accounts?...but still...it should at least says "WOW1"..or whatever the default account name is when you register a new account)
2)
You can confirm that you are the original owner of the account to this secure website with
eh?....is this even in English?
3) if you mouse over the url they're trying to get me to click on...it actually goes to
hxxp://us.battle.net.login.warcraft-security.com/battle_net_account.h**l (tags removed just so that someone doesn't accidentally click on it...go there at your own risk..i wouldn't)
now..that doesn't look like blizzard anymore...does it?
4) message headers

Received: from battle.net ([98.126.239.123]) by xxxxxxxx with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.4675);

doing an arin.net lookup on the IP address (I dunno about you..but every singe legit email i've ever gotten from bliz were from (12.129.XXX.XXX) IP addresses
shows me that 98.126.239.123 is a freshly registered "Krypt Static"...smells funky to me.

I too have had plenty of false links sent but only to my 5yr old account. My other accounts I only have blizzard notifications from because they're emails I setup solely to get the accounts started.

I believe many fall for traps as well but i think if you read the emails I received in addition to the fact that I could NOT login lol, you will see that this indeed was Blizzard
 
I just tried again trying to get my account unbanned. They never sent me a ban email, but this is the response I got today:

Greetings,

Thank you for your follow-up email regarding the account *****. This account was closed after a Blizzard Entertainment investigation produced evidence indicating the account was associated to multiple accounts that participated in exploitative activities. Upon further review, we have determined that our original findings were accurate and the action was in line with our current policies.

Please take a moment to review the World of Warcraft Terms of Use ( Blizzard Entertainment: World of Warcraft Terms of Use). The reoccurring exploitative trends present on accounts associated to the account listed above have led to the closure of all related accounts.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope we have addressed any concerns you may have had. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance to you.

As a reminder, only the Account Administration department can address disputes or questions about this account action. To learn more about how we are able to assist you, please visit us at Blizzard Support.

Regards
