No the character is actually yours and I can prove it to you. I even got in a discussion with a GM about it and they said that’s the only way they can hold YOU fully responsible for your toon is if it is YOURS. You own it. You own your toon. It is also a safety feature for them to say that YOU own your toon. You can ask them yourself if you do not believe me but this is YOUR toon. I actually read the entire TOS and the entire EULA and all their documents. You read the whole thing it will also refer to it as YOUR toon that YOU are responsible more than once. Like you’re supposed to read those things before you use the game.
No. That happens so much. And it happens legitly too. There are so many players who do challanges to where they level from 1 to level cap without stopping, then they will take a break, then they will go from questing gear to full end game epics in less than a day and do it legit too. So many people have done this.
My hunter went from 1 to 110, got to 980+ gear, made a garrison, got Senior Sergeant RBG got my artifact, did two full raids, got my 1000 ilvl legos, got 4 rare pets… MAXED LW and skinning… all with less than 2 days /played time. . Thats why I was able to do it. I did all that.

If you claim you read it, show us that the EULA says the player owns the toon.
Look it up read it yourself. Read the entire thing every single word of it. Top to bottom and do not skip a word. Be sure to copy it and screen shot it. If you READ the entire thing all the way thru then you will find it.
man I love using my NordVPN to play Raid: Shadow Legends while shaving my privates with my Manscaped collection! If I get exhausted from all the raiding and shaving I just guzzle some Gfuel and I’m good as new!
This is just sad, we use VPN for many reasons, “Blizz just ruined their own patch” some of the folks I know was suspended just for no reason, they even had live with a camera showing they beat the MT and was suspended still just because " we think use of a VPN" I can say this patch probably won’t look too good now with so many being on a 30 day and then the thought to grind after 30 days, we are better off just playing something else until the next expansion, again i am glad blizz is taking this serios but they just ruined this patch and many guilds.
I have proof that you didnt read it. It is referred to as YOUR account when they mention ownership as well as saying when creating a new account “how do I create MY new account.”
They also list is as YOUR games that YOU bought. And even as a legal binding contract goes, the account has YOUR name on it. If I were to add you and Real ID you right now, it would say your real name, not Blizzards. There are other MMOs that list it as their account but WoW does not. Blizzard in Q&A also list it as “My account” Not "Blizzard’s account. It has your name on it listing you as the owner legally. You own your account on their platfrom. And Blizzard in tickets to me have even said “YOUR account”. They never once have said “Our account”. It is refereed to as YOUR account multiple times as well as a GM telling me that we do indeed own our accounts. That is the only way to ensure that WE are held completely responsible for all actions from our account. Blizzard does not own the accounts. We do. A GM even told me that once when I asked him.
Having YOU own your account ensues that all actions on your account are fully your responsibility. And yes, as I said, the name listed on your account is the legal owner of it. I own mine that GM told me a long time ago. You or a parent or guardian owns yours.
Why would you use a VPN node in eastern europe? Wouldn’t that make your gameplay rather laggy?
Seems suspicious. It’s like getting caught red handed cheating and saying, “The devil made me do it.” Yeah, yeah. Sure, it’s your VPN. Not that you used a VPN to attempt to cover for cheating. No. Never.
How completely hard is it to provide an actual link?
Sorry, your “word” is cesspool garbage. No one in their right mind would take something said at face value with out corroboration, especially on these forums…
In the event of a false positive/false reports ban, you can just chargeback your credit card and get your money back at least. But if that was all paid with Bnet balance, oof
Being responsible for the actions that occur on the account is not the same thing as ownership of it.
It’s a way out for Blizzard should you do some illegal / naughty things while using their services. It’s so they can put the blame on you. Anything that would in any way be construed as beneficial for Blizzard is theirs, and theirs only.
They (Blizzard) always reserves the right to revoke access to “your” account at any time.
Think of it like leasing a car. If you get drunk and kill someone while driving the car, the company that leased the car to you is not responsible for your actions. You are. You don’t own the car though. The contract releases them from liability for your actions.
