He’s also had all the purchased gold removed and most likely had all the items bought with gold removed too.
Thought you’d all like some good news in the sea of pessimism that usually consumes this board. ^^

I say 2 weeks is too light, I’d like to see 4 weeks minimum

Sorry for your guildy, one of the unlucky few in a sea of thousands banned by Bliztard so they come over as caring and doing the right thing, but in reality they don’t and will never ban enough bots/gold buyers to make a noticeable difference because they are padding their pockets which is what they love most.
Don’t be, it was his fault. We’ve all been laughing at him for it.

I wonder what ban the seller got?
2 week ban for buying gold.
Meanwhile bots (the few that get banned) get what, 6 month ban?
3-6 Month ban for both. /Clueless but clever clown
A ban doesn’t affect a bot because they simply recreate the bot, where it does affect the goldbuyer because they were buying gold to play their toon, and a ban means they can’t play their toon.
And the removal of purchased goods means my guildy lost out on however much 60k gold cost him. The bot loses sod all and still gains the RL currency that was exchanged for the gold.
TL;DNR: Banning gold seller bots doesn’t actually do much, unless they’re banned rapidly instead of in a wave every year.

Wow addicts that buy Gold, I think they might have enough irl coin to get another account and keep having their fun
Just a theory
3 Month ban for all
Exactly this. I have reported at least a million bots (or so…
) and nothing has been done. Weeks after my first report, the same bots are still there .Yet, Blizz takes the time to ban one gold buyer. Priorities…

People hating on gold buyers are people that are either broke and cant even afford to buy or dont know where to buy it from.Either way ,guys make a second account and just buy gold from there, dont risk it and buy it from your main account.

Yea it happens now and then. had guildies doing the same and getting banned.
Normal people don’t like grinding gold forever or waiting months before they see any kind of loot .

God damn 60k?! No wonder he got banned. That transaction must have lit up the Blizz systems for detecting such things like a bonfire.
Not saying he should have bought less, but that he’s an idiot for thinking this would stay under the radar.
You are so naive and gullible its insane.If you order a big amount like that, they do not sent all of it right away.They sent in small batches to avoid flags like that.The OP is either lying about the amount or i wouldnt be surprised he made this whole story up to get attention.Do not be stupid and believe everything you read lol
It’s in incriments of 15k. To order more than 15k a month, he’d have to have his address registered to the website and he wasn’t willing to do that.
Essentially he’d been buying gold for about 4 months before getting banned. And no, he definitely wasn’t smart. Most gold buyers use a “burner” account.
Or perhaps Papachad isn’t as big a chad as he thinks and isn’t able to correctly read words?
Follow your own advice.
Those of us hating on gold buyers are the people that see our game getting flooded with bots simply because the market for gold is so high. Blizzard wont do anything about bots, but they also wouldn’t exist were there not a market for gold.

Call BS all you want; nobody cares about your opinion. Like, at all. How do you even function during the day with an IQ as low as your character level?
Yeah, nice name.
Go home Papachad, stick to one toon.

Not sure why you are replying to people that have like 10 posts, but your guildy must bereally proud of you,creating a thread just for him,so you can tell everyone he bought gold and got banned.Truth be told,you seem to know an awful lot about his gold buying tendencies.
So let me get this straight.Your guildy goes in so much detail to explain how he buys gold and you post this on forums?Doesn’t really add up.I guess i am an alt as well.

Not quite, he’s one of those people that talks A LOT. Bragged about getting banned, we all laughed at him. I posted here so people know that some gold buyers do eventually get banned.
The details are because guildies obviously asked. As people do when something out of the ordinary happens.
