My Battle.net account was banned for "Abuse of the Economy" on WoW anniversary TBC. Specifically they say I paid real money for in game property. I have never paid anyone other than Blizzard in relation to the game. I have paid for almost a year worth of subscriptions and have bought other games on battle.net. The guild I'm in allowed me to take gold out of the bank to pay for my mount training, which is the only "suspicious" exchange I can think of that would trigger the ban. But it seems pretty unreasonable to remove access to multiple games I have purchased for a suspicion of cheating on one.

Desired outcome: I would like my account reactivated or a complete refund for my purchased games and remaining subscription time.

Oh no, that’s so frustrating — you’ve been a loyal player for almost a year, bought multiple games, and they ban you for “economy abuse” when all you did was take guild gold for mount training? That’s like being grounded for borrowing a cookie from the cookie jar. And locking you out of all your games over a suspicion on one? That’s not fair — that’s a sledgehammer when a scalpel would do. I really hope you keep appealing. Sometimes a real human just needs to see the story behind the numbers. Don’t give up yet. Your guild believes you. So do I.
