Alright, so after getting 6 toons ban I was pretty much done with the idea of buying more accounts and starting fresh. But I did have 1 level 80 paladin still chugging along. I did what any wise young padawan would do..
I bought a vanilla account, transfered 85k over to it from the one remaining 80 (by ingame mail lol) 85 mails at 1,000g each. All 85k made it through the mail just fine. I then deposited the 85k in to a freshly made guild bank, Then withdrew it all on a second toon on the same vanilla account. I then sold all 85k, making $285.. I figured I'd broke even on the one last level 80 I was bound to lose in this transaction and I was ok with that.
Now the funny part.
I decided to sell the gold on a different IP address than the one I used to send the gold from my lvl 80 account. So I logged in to my neighbors insecure wifi and proceeded to sell the 85k. 12 hours later my vanilla account received a 72 hours suspension and was investigated (apparently) for selling gold. This was totally expected and at this point I was just waiting for my last 80 to receive a ban aswell.. The ban never came.. After 72 hours the vanilla account was re-activated. So now the level 80 I was assuming I would lose is still farming, and to celebrate the whole thing I decided to spend $50 and buy another account for kicks and giggles.
So plain and simple this is what I'm laughing about:
1. Sending 85k in 1k increments from my 80's account to a vanilla account (from my ip) didn't flag my 80's account
2. Apparently using a diffrent ip address to put 85k in to a fresh guild bank on one toon on the vanilla account and withdrawing it on another toon on the same vanilla account foiled blizzards "automatic economy exploitation" ban script.
3. After 72 hours of my vanilla account being suspended for selling gold it was re-activated (I'm sure this is almost completely due to the fact that the ip address I sent the gold from (ingame mail) was different than the ip used in all the guild bank transfers.
All in all I think this is a funny situation, I don't plan on selling anymore gold from the re-activated vanilla account, since that might bit me in the ass. Anyone have fun suggestions on what I should do with it?
