So I got banned from WOW

This account was suspended because a character on the account repeatedly abused World of Warcraft's in-game chat system. This abuse includes advertising third party services/websites and repeatedly spamming in-game chat channels. Abuse of this nature pollutes chat channels shared by all players and harms the game environment as a whole.

To prevent further harm to the game and the account you use, the account has been suspended for 3 hours and the password was reset. You do not need to reply to this email, as the account will automatically become available again once the 3-hour suspension period has ended. It may take up to one hour for our system to generate and send the new password. If you have not received a password within one hour of this message's delivery, please check your Spam, Junk, or Suspect Mail folders. If you are still unable to locate the email containing your new password, please contact us using this form: http://us.blizzard.com/support/webform-us.xml or use the password recovery function on https://us.battle.net/account/suppor...ord-reset.html.





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/.../antigold.html





This would be nice and all,but my account has been out of game time for a month,and I haven't been to any wow reltaed site except MMO champion for a month

So how exactly did I do any of this?|||you got hacked|||I don't have any gametime on my account...............................|||The hackers will often reactivate the accounts to use them for their non-so-nice activities. (And by reactivate, I mean use stolen credit cards to buy game time for the accounts they've hacked.)

The hackers love inactive accounts, because they often get to keep them longer before they get reported.|||Quote:

Well,ty for putting the nail in the coffin Blizzard.

Wasn't gonna play WOW for much longer unless they made it interesting again,but now I don't even have to.

Hmmmm,DC Universe,Rift or The old Republic?!|||It's your choice of course, but if it were me, I would seriously try to get my account back. It wouldn't feel right ending like this. My account is still my property, even when I decide to not use it anymore.
