LOL WTF WoW

***Notice of Account Closure***

Account Name: ***********

Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy

This account was closed because one or more characters were identified exchanging, or contributing to the exchange of, in-game property (items or gold) for "real-world" currency. This exchange process negatively impacts the World of Warcraft game environment by detracting from the value of the in-game economy.

Even if this is the result of account sharing, the account owner can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.

We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/services/anti-gold/

The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at http://us.blizzard.com/company/legal/index.html. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure.

I have not used this account in quite some time, and the last time that I used it, I was using a free trial that I had been sent by WoW, inviting me back to the game. How could I have been banned for buying or selling or even doing anything if I wasn't able to even log in because I was not subscribed? I have never done anything against the terms of use policy, nor have I ever bought or sold gold. If my account was compromised then I need to know about it, But if battle.net is accusing me of exchanging in game currency for real life money, then you guys better get your facts strait. I know what kind of impact currency trading has on a games economy, I watched it happen over a 10 year period with Star Wars Galaxies. I will simply leave it at this, If this account remains banned or even has the slightest negative mark on it because of someone else's actions, then you and all of the companies that you are affiliated with will have permanently lost not just one customer, but several, since my friends will stand by my decision and follow suit.

I'll use the account if you wont <3
