Perma ban main, not bots

[neal121]

This has to do with my main which never has had a bot linked to it so I'm not posting the template.

My main was banned this morning for abuse of economy. No trades. 40-50 auctions a day. That's it. I hand played everything. Good bye old account. I am waiting on a appeal but eh I'm pretty burnt out of mop.

Now on the other hand my bots were untouched. At least for now.

They investigate pretty carefully now, they even ban by invites,guildinvites. Like you can be other computer other ip with an account they still link it by it.

Tried to add game time to my expired main account from WOTLK, closed this morning same excuse.

Tried to level a goblin in the starter zone only to be closed for "Abuse of Economy" --- cause I was totally abusing the economy...

Abuse of economy is probably the easiest to get un banned. If you really didn't do anything like abusing it.

***Notice of Account Closure***

Account Name: WOW1

Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy

This account was closed because one or more characters were identified exchanging, or contributing to the exchange of, in-game property (items or gold) for "real-world" currency. This exchange process negatively impacts the World of Warcraft game environment by detracting from the value of the in-game economy.

Even if this is the result of account sharing, the account owner can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.

We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article: Impact of Buying Gold - Shop - World of Warcraft

The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at Blizzard Entertainment:Blizzard Legal Documentation. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure.

You will get unbanned, if you are really innocent.

No they aren't reversing it. Probably because years ago this account was first banned when I was a lazy botter and sent all my farmed crap to my main to sell. Got it unbanned, same thing happened near the end of Cata. So now with those I am guessing thats why they won't reverse it. Obviously they are watching my IP and every account on it since they banned that fresh account only 12 hours old. I guess I hit a nerve with them...

You sold gold and you got caught, then from what you wrote we can assume you got total IP ban or similar!

Better clean your system and start over.

But if you never sold gold, or traded ingame goods for anything outside game, then keep fighting, like PureLife said, if you are innocent, you have your chances, but if you traded, your accounts are gone, indeed!

NEVER said I sold gold btw.


Blizzard also closed/canceled my ticket I put in without replying. I was working at the time it was canceled.
