Yep, I googled that, and saw it was unsupported, and that if i got scammed, that would be that, and I’d just have to suck it up an move on…
But I wasn’t scammed. We made the trades, typed out everything we were doing in game chat, and went along our merry way.
This is so incredibly silly… If the person who traded me the 330g got it from a ‘shady source’ that person should get banned!
IRL laws are more ‘common sense’ than Blizzard’s practices on this… If someone steals a motorcycle, and then sells that motorcycle to you, providing all the appropriate paperwork, title, and bill of sale, but then the cops come knocking a week later, informing you that you bought a stolen vehicle, they don’t arrest you… They take the stolen property, return it to it’s owner, and go after the criminal that stole the bike. They don’t throw the innocent party in jail for 2 weeks because they didn’t have the omnipotent power to see that the bike they thought they were legally purchasing, was actually stolen.
& @Peachdreams, I have all the TSM data to show every gold, every silver, every copper i’ve ever made… And i included those screenshots in the appeal email. As of now, i’ve just gotten an automated response
And how does this disprove what I said? I already gave you the benefit of the doubt that you didn’t RMT, but the system you’re using is almost certainly a front for RMT more than it’s not.
Sometimes the person buying cigs at the mob run corner store is just buying cigs at the wrong time when they come to bust the place cause a drug deal was happening in the back room.
Fair enough… But again, how is banning me for 2 weeks for swapping a tiny, minuscule amount of my WotLK gold (to me anyway) the solution to someone on [a widely used Discord Server with over 50,000 memebers -dedicated to facilitating Gold Swaps between game versions]* trading gold they got through illicit means?
If you post in the CS forums you may get a reply, posting about your ban here will get you heckled.
Also if you caught a 2 week ban you probably had other actions taken against your account in the past as infractions do stack. If this is the new normal for gold buying based offenses then I have zero complaints.
You’re part of the problem as one of their customers, whether intentional or not, none of us can tell and frankly it really doesn’t matter all that much anyway. You keep these types of businesses profitable.
Could Blizzard have let you off the hook this time? Perhaps, but I also don’t know what account sanctions you received before this either.
I would advise against doing any sort of gold swaps in the future, unless you can verify with 100% certainty that it is legitimate gold.
