> Blizzard Takes Action Against Win Trading

[Disperse]

I got a 72 hour suspension and all of my Vengeful gear removed 2 days ago, due to "Arena Exploitation-Win Trading". I sent in a well written response to try and defend my innocence. To my surprised they reverted the decision but perma banned me for acct sharing/disrupting essence of wow.

For those who thinks this is fishy you are silly- I originally was given the 72 hr suspension like everyone else...then I sent an email explaining someone was on my account that I did not authorize while this took place, then they checked my IPs I guess and noticed this guy has been playing/farming on my account. So we both got the ban stick.



Moral of the story: Do not win trade, Do not sell points to win traders, Do not share account info, and DO NOT BUY GOLD.

Seems like they're cracking down in classic all-at-once Blizzard style, similar to when they raped me of 80k honor when I was gearing up this character and also took half the gear I already had purchased... although I WAS afk botting honor in AV so I was more disappointed that now I actually had to play in the battlegrounds for the next few weeks.

I feel for you, but it is nice to see the win trading being cracked down on. At this point it's out of control.
