I have 2 accounts on the same server, since I played a bit of both factions in phase 1. I am no longer interested in playing my horde toon, so I want to post something on the neutral AH with my main account and buy it with the other to get the gold on my alliance characters.
But I am worried this will trigger the automated rmt detection system. I dont want to eat a 14 day ban.
The issue is if someone report you for X or Y reason (e.g. gold selling) and the system track trading gold between 2 accounts, even if the report is not legit, that could trigger the ban.
I play on Era and we have some ppl banned cause mass reports or non-legit report. Just to let you know how automated the system is. And in some cases the report has not been lifted. On the other hand we have still bots going around (monkatos).
The anti-gdkp system just brought even more chaos cause instead of solving the real issues (bots and gold-seller etc.) they targeted and entire population strating a sort of witch hunt focused on gold trading.
It is wise to avoid gold trading. There are a few post on reddit where ppl have been banned after trading gold (even small amount) between accounts.
Like others have said , u should be fine in any other time .
Rn, chaces are u get banned automaticly because hurr durr gdkp rmt and whatnot ,and blizz for some reason cant make it properly .
If your gold is clean , u will get unbaned after appeal as they will check its not a rmt action or something cuz its same customers gold. This might take some time tho .
Honestly if u arent in a desperste need i wpuld wait till things settle down a bit , or if u can live with few days ban for nothing
Yes, i own and pay for both accounts. But I doubt the automated system checks that before issuing a ban. And I dont want to have to appeal a ban and wait for days for it to be lifted. Maybe I’ll just hold off on this for a while. Its not gamebreaking amounts of gold anyway.
Bnet accounts can only be connected to 1 email at once, if you meant transferring gold between wow accounts on the same Bnet account this will not get flagged (unless it is illegal gold).
Yea so I don’t think you’ll get whacked by anything if they’re in the same name, if they do get flagged you can easily prove they’re owned by yourself, in the same name.
There have been cases however where account A is in real name and account B is in fake but possible real name that you can get in trouble (e.g. not Donald Duck, but for example, Barack Obama.)
