Ban discussions aren’t allowed on the forums as it may fuel hearsay and wrongful speculation.

@Illiasvielle-doomhammer

I would like to formally state that I have never purchased or sold gold, nor have I engaged in any activity involving real-world currency.

Contradicts:

@Illiasvielle-doomhammer

During my time playing on this server, my only in-game economic activity consisted of providing Scarlet Monastery boosting services in exchange for in-game gold, as well as selling the cloth obtained either through the Auction House

@Illiasvielle-doomhammer

To my understanding, these activities are permitted under Blizzard’s Terms of Service and game mechanics.

That is not entirely right, I’ll seperate the two activities for you:

Boosting is an unsupported transaction.
Selling stuff through AH is allowed as long as it’s not suspicious e.g. one cloth for 9999 gold.

So that means if you’ve gained illegal gold through boosting as an example, you’ll be held complicit in gold laundering and be penalised as such.

@Illiasvielle-doomhammer

may have been influenced by coordinated mass reporting rather than by any violation of the Terms of Service on my part.

Mass reporting, unlike what many players think does not happen as often as it occurs and for serious penalties human GM’s make the final determination. Penalties given by actual mass reports, are limited to Squelches/Suspensions until a prioritised GM reviews them according latest news.

@Illiasvielle-doomhammer

I kindly request a thorough and impartial review of my case, including a detailed examination of my account activity and transaction logs

This has already been done as you’ve submitted an appeal. You may continue to submit appeals until they will no longer honor thorough and impartial reviews anymore of your case, as a new GM is always assigned to take a look over it.

It’s either a Permanent ban, or a one week ban, it can’t be both…

Also when you report a player “boosting” - which you say you’ve done a lot of - is one of the options under “Inappropriate Communication”.

[Illiasvielle-doomhammer]

Sorry, im not a native english so maybe it was missunderstood. The ban is permanent, but i received it a week ago. Next, this people that i think they massreported me are from a big organization from the server, spineshatter alliance. There is ton of information about them. And i dont know their language, just googled it. What i did was selling for gold that service, and because of me stealing their clients, they threated me to massreport me. They kept talking in that language, and then after that, the word “report”, so my guests were there. I hope i expressed myself correctly this time

Yea there are people who claim there are but we’ve not seen one verified instance of it being a mass report penalty. We mean with this, not from a player but from an official source or such.

Let’s say your theory is right, what prevents a vigilante group from doing the exact same to this “mafia” by “massreporting” to get them banned? It doesn’t make sense it only works one way, sorry.

Such speculation is not considered proof of anything.

@Jagarde-outland

Boosting is not supported , true, but not an bannable offense. So literally you are good to go to boost.

That is not correct. Boosting is an unsupported transaction, which means you do it at your own risk. It’s not a “free card to go boosting”.

For example in here, this player received gold through exploitative accounts.

@Jagarde-outland

Boosting is not illegal gold.

See. https://eu.support.blizzard.com/en/article/269874

Please do not speculate on these kind of topics and refrain from harassing objective sources of proof.

[Illiasvielle-doomhammer]

Sorry, i already edited the post, i will just try to fight the ban with appealings. Thanks for the information anyways mate.

@Saneko-ragnaros

That is not correct. Boosting is an unsupported transaction, which means you do it at your own risk. It’s not a “free card to go boosting”.

Hence, not supported. But no one is banning you unless you scam, as per your own link you gave above. So it is a free card to go boosting. Blizzard will take actions ONLY if you scam while boosting or hacks etc. But boosting is a free card.

Boosting services are not supported by Blizzard but if you are the victim of a scam, contact us. Customer support cannot restore any of your losses, but will take action against confirmed scammers whenever possible so they won’t scam other players.

@Saneko-ragnaros

For example in here, this player received gold through exploitative accounts.

You can also receive gold from an exploitive account if you sell items or etc without you knowing that and you may still get a ban until you appeal. So your exemple is pure bad.

@Saneko-ragnaros

See. https://eu.support.blizzard.com/en/article/269874

You can buy or sell WoW items and some in-game services for gold.

If you want to buy or sell boosting or carry services:

If you are a seller, you must adhere to [advertising rules]

Literally boosting allowed BY your own link you gave!

GDPK is not.

You can sell boosting services (like dungeon runs for levels/gear) for gold in WoW, especially on Anniversary servers, but you must advertise in the correct “Services” chat channel to avoid getting actioned by Blizzard for spamming Trade/LFG, and be careful accepting “bad gold” from RMT buyers to avoid getting caught in anti-fraud sweeps. While some players find it a good way to make gold and progress, Blizzard discourages other forms of boosting and has banned GDKP on Anniversary realms, focusing on bot control.
