Got Banned In WoW and don't understand the reasons

I got banned in WoW. I opened a Ticket but as usual this takes many days and I hope maybe someone here in the Forum can explain to me, why I got banned.

I received 3 E-mails. I’m German, and the e-mails were also in German, I translated the subjects for this.

  1. E-mail: Inappropriate name:
    my account name is “Tunichtgut”. My played characters are “Lanayanter” ; “Kerstinaris”. I only speak German and English, if any of those Names are inappropriate in another Language, I’m sorry. But can anyone tell me which of those Names is not allowed? I used them for many Years in WoW and other Blizzard Games.

  2. E-Mail: Inappropriate behavior in chat.
    I have not used public chat this entire Year and as far as I can remember i only 2 times used direct messages. Both times I answered friendly to questions of other players directed to me. Even if both reported me, how could that result in a Ban without warning or example of wrong behavior?

  3. E-Mail: Abuse of the In game economics
    I have not received or send any Items or Gold by Mail this entire Year. If there is direct player trade, I also have not used this feature at all. All my trades were over Auction House. I use the Trade Addon TSM and can see all my Transactions. I did 303 Auctions this Year. 200+ of them were farmed Crafting Materials. I did trades totaling 175 282 Gold. My 5 Biggest Trades were (Design: Elusive Blasphemite 19.000; Design: Elusive Blasphemite 19.000; Technique: Inscribed Rolling Pin 4.750: Duskweave Bag 4.750; Duskweave Bag 4.750;).
    Did I do too many Auctions or did I price my items unfair? What exactly have I done wrong? How could this result into a Ban?

I play only from one Computer with no one having Access to the PC and I also use 2 Factor Authenticator, so I’m pretty sure I’m not hacked.

I feel like I got Banned randomly or for some completely different reason, and they just checked some random checkboxes to inform me^^

Im sorry for ur sitiuastion. But im not werry acouitned with German so cant say i know how those names should be.

Maybe that the once that reeported u" missclicked or they gunning" for U by some unfamiliar reason.

Since there are 3 refrances to, it might or might not be some misdeminours in all 3 that ur not aweare of.

But if where u i would ask for the a better explanation as to why ur accoutn got banned. Did u get all the e-mail at once? There are defently some question i feel u have a right to know, and i would alsow demand that u should defently have a better insight, then whats been given so far

Received the emails at 18:45; 18:47; 20:37;
I also noticed the first E-mail banned me a few hours. The 2. E-mail banned me 7 days and only the 3rd one banned me forever ^^

Already have a ticket open, but I expect it to take weeks …

Hey similar story here… got a perma ban on my second account… its been more then 7 days since the GM told me I will get a seperate Email within the next few hours or days. After opening a new ticket the next GM told me to not spam… Great support.

I was also banned for 7 days, it’s unclear why, I wrote only about creating items in the Trade chat

Apparently, my Account was hacked. I had an Authenticator, but some unknown phone number was already attached to my account for who know how long. Now everything resolved again.

Congratulations, at least you got an answer.)))

Wow, it was a game that I really wanted to play but never found the time. Years later, I found the opportunity and bought a 12-month membership with the new package. I was so excited. I entered the game and tried to understand and learn the game. Task etc. Things felt complicated, but I still enjoyed it. But after 3-4 days of starting the game, my account was banned. It says something like disrupting the game economy as the reason for banning. Now I’m asking the authorities: While I don’t know how any purchases and purchases are made in the game, as someone who has never used AH, has never bought or sold anything worth 1 coin (I think you can see this very easily by looking at the records, if you really look at it), How could I have harmed the game economy? Can someone explain this to me?
