* * * NOTICE OF ACCOUNT CLOSURE * * *

Account Name: ****@hotmail.com
BattleTag: ***#25*7


A user of the above account has recently been involved in actions deemed inappropriate for Diablo III. The account action detailed below was made after a thorough investigation of the situation as a whole. Though we are unable to discuss the outcome of our investigation due to privacy concerns, rest assured that this incident has been looked into very thoroughly and appropriate action taken on all accounts involved.

Account Action: Account Closure
Offence: Abuse of Game Mechanics
The distinction between exploiting bugs and abusing game mechanics is a fine one. While bug exploitation involves the abuse of what is essentially a programming mistake, the abuse of game mechanics is the act of taking advantage of the limitations of the Diablo III game systems. Since the line between the sanctioned use and the abuse of game mechanics is sometimes unclear, we prefer to educate players before taking any action against the account being used. This category includes using/distributing game mechanics in a manner unintended by their design that:
* Damages another hero, their gameplay, the service itself and/or its economy



1) Were you using DemonBuddy on the account at the same time the ban/suspension occurred? (Kicked offline due to being Banned) No (Never used it)


2) If not, when was the last time?: Never


3) If using a public profile please name it here: Didnt use


4) How did you level your characters? Please give some details - Hand leveled manually without exploits or anything.


5) What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname: Nil


6) What plugins are you using?: None


7) How many hours per day did you bot for?: Never


7.5) What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot? Never


8) How many auctions per day did you have?: 4-6


8.5) Did you use the Real Money Auction House (RMAH)? Yes


9) Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, Mods, or Exploits? No


10) Was your account involved in gold selling? Yes (To RMAH ONLY)


11) What server region where you connected to (The Americas, Europe or Asia)? EUROPE


Guys i used this account for RMAH only, it belonged to my gf (She's in turkey) and i was accessing it from different country, also using lots of bots from my IP, i think the mule account (Gf's account) Got banned because of my bots and they got linked.

Please tell me is there any chance of Recovery?

If yes, tell me what should i tell blizzard ? Should i ask my gf to tell blizzard that her account was compromised? Or just ask them i didnt bot or so?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
 
just try to recover from her IP and say you got hacked. but i think your chance is higher if you wait some days.
 
Have you been flipping items on the rmah? The reason they gave you is not adequate if all you did was sell on the AH/RMAH
 
This is the latest response from Customer Support:
Greetings,

Your account was detected whilst involved in a severe violation of the terms of service, and as a result we are forced to permanently close the acccount.

As the violations have occured on more than one occasion, we are sadly not able to overturn that decision and we are not able to enter into further communication on the matter.



First time seen a permanent ban on a mule account :/

But what did you do exactly ? Transfer large sums of gold daily, tried some rmah/ah bugs, what ? I think the only reason for abusing game mechanics ban is exploiting some rmah/ah bug is it not ?
 
He told me on skype that the account was handplayed in june and never botted allthough it's been middleman of gold and loot from bots from same IP..?
Either way, did you get the 2nd reply after calling in?
Did you call european blizz number?

I've lost 2 mules as well, 1 from using the ru-eng lang patch and 1 from bot association.

This is just a theory, don't get offended, maybe your GF has another guy and he botted your account just to get even with you. :) Im not joking sht stuff like that happen, bro.

Ummmm you can't do this and not expect to be banned.... You cant regularly access an account with a D3 license key that isn't approved for your region and not expect an account closure....

If the license was valid for your region than I would assume the Blizzard logic behind this rule would also stretch to include accounts involved with the RMAH whose account information does not match the region in which the account is being accessed as a form of fraud prevention.


1 from using the ru-eng lang patch and 1 from bot association.

First you can not prove banned for bot association... Second it's just a lousy assumption... If they were banning for this we'd all would have had mules banned with our bots...

They would also have to expand this logic to every single person that buys gold or items outside the RMAH/GAH as your now trying to say that being involved with or trading with known botters would result in a ban... Which they never will, while not sanctioned it would seriously cripple the player base and cause a massive outcry... Same reason why they never issued ban waves in D2 for buying black market...

I would suggest all the blizzard staff are just "towing the company line" and copy & pasting response e-mails without even looking into it.... especially after banning 7000 accounts in one go. Write an e-mail to [email protected] outlining that no game mechanics have been breached, that you where not provided with a warning prior to the ban, that if its not resolved that you will go to consumer protection... then follow up with an actual consumer protection complaint if you do not get the result you want.

A large number of consumer protection complaints means that they will be looked into and will make it harder for them to mass ban people in the future. I'd suggest anyone with a legitimate account that was banned and not botted on put in similar complaints to their legal department, and anyone who was banned without being given a warning first as per their "account penalties" policy also do the same, and follow up with a consumer protection complaint if its not unbanned.
 
first of all, hello buddies! And happy new year!

I'm wondering is it safe to collect all the stuff and gold from bots account an one acc. for futher selling stuff through rmah? I mean may Blizzard ban that acc?

If you read the thread, you'd find out home boy was accessing the account in another country than the original owner. It wasn't because he was trafficing botted items on a mule account lol.

Happy new year to you.

To Whom It May Concern,

If YOU read the thread then you would know that he only posted "Was your account involved in gold selling? Yes (To RMAH ONLY)." He mentioned nothing about no trafficking botted items. If you think about it, why else would he be using his gf's account. You mean to tell me that a little girl that has one account has items that are worth $$$$$$ to sell in RMAH? AND you think blizz would ban someone for selling a few bucks worth of items that the account itself found? The only reason for a ban in this case would be him using her RMAH to cash out on lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Edit: Happy New year!

Dear Xyuther,
First of all I'm sorry you didn't get Santa's gift this Christmas (that's the only way I can imagine you'r being so rude). Secondly, would you be so kind not to reply posts which can damage your mental health someway.

Be cool!
