Open Question: I got banned from WoW for something I didn’t even do….. please help!?
So, to start off, I can’t even post on the forums otherwise I woudn’t be here. Anyways, I received and email from Blizzard that says
***Notice of Account Closure***
Account Name: XXXXXXXX(Not gonna show you my username)XXXXXX
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 behavior is the result of a third party accessing the account instead of the registered user (for example, a friend, family member, or leveling service) then the account 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: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/antigold.html
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 http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html. Any recurring subscriptions on this account have been suspended to prevent further monetary charges.
For any disputes of this action, please visit the Exploitative Activity FAQ and Contact page here: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/exploitfaq

Anyways, I did NOT buy or sell any gold whatsoever. It’s dumb, now I’m banned. The only thing I can think of that may have set off their machine is starting to use the Auction House now that I am out of an old guild. Also, I sold a Primordial Saronite for two-thousand gold on the auction houes. Now I’m banned.
