Password Reset, 78h Ban Abuse of the Economy

[SMALL BANWAVE] Password Reset, 72h Ban Abuse of the Economy

Well, this does not really affect Honorbuddy, but i noticed, that some ppl in this forum got a 78h slap this day, me included - so a thread about this might be useful.

I recieved a Mail at 2:25pm with Subject: "Battle.net-Account: Passwort zur?cksetzen" (Password Reset)
6 Minutes later 78h Ban, reason: Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy

My first guess was a hack, because i executed a keygen.exe 20mins ago without knowing if its safe - ye, stupid.

But the fact that other ppl were also poor victims of this act let me think that Blizz started a little Banwave against innocent Goldsellers.

So, any other guys around here affected to this?


Edit: Yeah, there was defenitely some sort of Banwave for Goldtransfer. You can post here, to keep it central.

i've got a 72h ban, too.
i've just sent 3k gold to my new farm-account ..

Got unbanned this day. I wrote an email to Blizz, whining about the ban. Today they unlocked it. Great

Got banned aswell for the same reason yesterday but i didn't even sell any gold and i havn't done that either before.

I've gotten the password reset e-mail 2 times now, most recent one 2 days ago- but NO suspension or ban. It's like somehow I'm opening a gm ticket saying I got hacked, but I am NOT opening the ticket. It is from legit blizzard too, as my PW stops working when I get the email.

When I log into the WoW website and go to support> active tickets I have this message:

Again, I NEVER opened tickets or tried contacting Blizzard in any way.
