False Ban for SWAPPING gold

I asked because I looked and found nothing. No one insists on using discord for these transactions. People just use discord because its an easier hub to find things more specific to what you’re looking for, Champ.

Trading between factions and realms is unsupported.

Trading between Modern WoW, WoW Classic, and Burning Crusade Classic is unsupported.

Trying to keyboard lawyer yourself out of this is not going to work. You got gold that was stolen, Directly from a gold seller! Honestly like others have said surprised you just got a suspension for this. On their end it looks like you purchased gold.

No possibly technicality is going to help

Yet it seems that discord is filled with gold sellers. Sure they do not insist on just using discord but I doubt you will get any of them to chat about the transaction in game either. I would not be surpised if the gold sellers are running that discord server!

Seems negligible due to the fact that “Trading between Modern WoW, WoW Classic, and Burning Crusade Classic is unsupported.” and the “You are not allowed to buy or sell WoW items, products, or services for real money. Accounts involved in real money transactions may be penalized under our [End User License Agreement]” are completely separate and unrelated to each other in this scenario. Which traces back to me defending myself on not using real money for any trades. None of my evidence was taken into account and was simply suspended on false terms.

And theres your problem its easier that shouldve been your only red flag criminals rely on the stupid not calling you stupid lets make that clear and the player looking to cheat the system not looking at the bigger picture. Once again you only have your self to blame for looking for the easy instead of hard work like honest players.

I went to check the rep of the person I suspected it was (there was only 2) and that person has been banned and multiple people reached out telling me not to trade him. You’re wrong here.

You contributed to the gold buyers/sellers. You and others who insist on getting things “right now” are the reason we cannot have nice things in the game. I for one would like to see people who do this get perma banned but that’s just me. Blizzard believes in giving people chances to learn from their mistakes.

Maybe you should take your chance and move on.

Thing is they do not accept your evidence! They go by their logs! Thats it! An appeal is not a thing to present your side, this is not a court of law. A appeal is to see if they made a mistake or missed something like your account was comprised.

Honestly I think this should be locked at this point. Your just not understanding you made a risky move and you got burned! You made a mistake and you have to deal with the end result.

You didn’t do much reading obviously, I worked hard for my gold and just wanted to swap it somewhere else to play with friends and not be super far behind.

No. Blizzard’s evidence was taken in account. Their logs see EVERYTHING that goes in in-game.

While you are ignorant of how things work, you’re not innocent. This has already been established in this very thread.

We not the ones who had account action.

Your own actions in this thread is actually why discussing account action on the forum isn’t allowed. You’re trying to push your case. It doesn’t work like that.

Blizzard can see soo much more than you obviously realise.

Hopefully you will learn from this moving forward.

Recently several people have posted here about the same discord about them getting account actions for gold swapping. So there is a problem on that discord!

This thread really needs to be locked as it is just going with out you going it.

No, you were suspended for engaging in direct trade with an illicit account for illicit gold. The flag was accurate.

You asked for proof the kind of trade you engaged in was unsupported. You were given that proof. You quoted EXACTLY what the risk is and why it is unsupported.

This is not hard. You took a risk. You got burned. You are suspended. That is not changing unless somehow there is proof that the gold you directly got was not from a gold seller account.

You helped them move gold. That’s contributing. That’s the point we are making. It doesn’t have to be directly buying or selling.

While this isn’t something posted - I did actually put a ticket in about this after a discussion of whether gold trades between games was against the rules or not. This was the response I got:

So, unsupported there, even though it’s only in my ticket history.

For the ToS?

Not every little nuance is spelled out. They touch on the “big” issues, but if they went and listed every little thing, it’d take forever and a day. Some things should just be common sense. If you have to ask? It’s likely going to be something you want to avoid.

While that is keyed to factions and realms, it’s a blanket statement really. Ideally, this should be updated to covering cross-game trading as well, but there you have it.

You gained gold from a gold seller. Period. That is why you got suspended.

You seem to be ignoring the fact that if blizzard wanted this they wouldve done something like token which would solve situations like this the fact that you willingly went around blizzards safe guards makes you as guilty as the gold sellers.

Lets not play coy. You contributed to the gold sellers/buyers which ruins the game for legitimate players who actually work hard for gold. Legitimate players work hard for their gold and keep it within the game they are playing. You didn’t work very hard for the gold you got on another part of the game. You are supporting gold selling/buying along with everyone else who is getting suspended.

Again, take your chance and move on.

You worked hard for your gold, but where did the other player’s gold come from? That is the issue.
