Saturday Morning I woke up to emails about my account of over 15 years being closed due to abuse of the economy. I’ve spent the past 6 months extensively in GDKP raids as during TOGC you could run 4-5 raids a day and it only take 3 hours in total. I honestly have no clue how this happened to me but I have read on here that some people are traded gold during these pot exchanges that come from shady sources. I’ve heard of people getting two week bans for this but never thought it would happen to me or for me to just be straight account closed. During this same time a guildie of mine quit and gave me his consumes and gold a total of around 200k. I provided the logs of the transaction through discord with time stamps but it sometimes feels like none of that matters. Has anyone else had issues with being straight account closed over gdkp gold? I have never been banned or suspended before so to wake up with a straight account closure is a very depressing way to start a weekend.
Just apeal your not the first one to use GDKP. posting here wont get ur account unbanned. Nothing is gaurenteed but all u can do is apeal and stay away from the gdkp theres no telling where that gold came from.
Appeal was put in and denied immediately. Felt like an automated response. After putting in all the evidence showing my guildie’s discord logs as well as warcraft logs showing the raids I was in. Feels hopeless sometimes I just wanted to speak to an actual person.
ALl ur evidence is inadmissable the only thing blizzard goes by is logs and what they can prove and i promise you 100% it was a real GM that looked at ur apeal my advice keep apealing.
Also apeals isnt to plead ur case its to get blizzard to take a look at it.
Gonna keep the appeals going. Just seems strange for a first time offense knowingly or not to get to a straight account closure and not a re correction of behavior and explaining what I did wrong and how to avoid future penalties. The attach part of the appeal lead me to believe that It was used for something.
To be blunt, that really doesn’t matter. Blizzard does not accept any evidence of that sort, especially from a third party resource. Discord logs mean nothing. The only thing Blizzard looks at are their own logs. No screenshots, no Twitch/Youtube streams, nothing from Discord, nothing from RaiderIO or other sites.
You cannot for appeals. Tickets are the only accepted means to appeal your sanction.
But please do keep at the appeals. You are allowed to appeal and appeal again until they threaten you that no more appeals will be accepted.
As Darth said, we have seen quite a few people coming here in a similar spot with the running thread of GDKP runs. And it seems that tainted gold is a key factor in most (if not all) of these situations. Always know who you’re running with and be sure that you can trust in them. Services for gold are allowed, but they are absolutely unsupported due to the danger it poses to both the person buying the run and the people who are being paid to participate in the runs.
Yeah I should of known it was a bit sketch when bidding for shadowmourne is over 1.5million gold. No amount of dailies can get you that type of gold. I just made a mistake loving the game and wanting to have another avenue to gain revenue in the game
There is nothing wrong with loving the game and all of the different ways we find fulfillment in it. Unfortunately there are always going to be people who break the rules and sometimes drag other people down with them.
Again, please do keep appealing as long as they’ll accept them. We have seen some of these cases come back with the permanent closure adjusted to a set suspension period instead. And you may get a notice that they’re looking into the situation and will get back to you with the results. We’ve seen that a time or two in these cases. No matter how it turns out for you, I do wish you good luck in your appeals,
At this point after 3 days without my account I’d take a suspension instead just to know there is light at the end of the tunnel
The easy way isnt the always the best way to earn gold especialy if the gold thats high. If something seems too easy then odds are its not always legit.
Hopefully someone fron the cs team can look it over and see that this has to be a mistake.
Noone on the forums can look at this, it has to be handled through the appeals system. The most the SFA’s can do is make sure you submitted the appeal under the correct category.
Case has been sent off to investigation team according to appeal. Anyone know how long that typically takes?
No, they have their own time table and can’t be reached by tickets. They’d be done when they’re done.
Several days at least. There is no way to really tell. You just have to wait it out.
As long as it takes, including waiting in line after other appeals that came in before yours.
Not one second less. But also not one second longer.
This is looking more promising, Conducta. It has been reviewed, but there is still work to be done. I don’t believe this will remain a ban - but you may very well get your wish and it may be suspended for a short time.
One thing that is crucial for anyone involved in GDKP runs - you never really know where the gold comes from - nor can you ever be absolutely sure where some of the gold may be going.
Both ends of that equation can come back to bite folks involved.
I do thank you for your patience, I’d keep an eye on your email over the next day or so.
Thank you for your help. Have a wonderful blizzcon weekend.
You will want to rethink doing GDKP runs, Could help prevent problems like this.
Believe me. If I get my account back im done with them.
