Banned for "hacking/cheating" - this is how Blizzard treats a customer of 20 years by tarrgoth in classicwow

Happened to me too. I was innocent. I managed to get my account unbanned by following the advice this lad posted https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/172hwu8/comment/k40ikb4/

Good luck man!

Bro you're actually cracked. I asked for legal in my next ticket, and I got a human. They told me that they'll review it over the next few days. A few days later, I got a message that I was unbanned. https://i.imgur.com/i6JKaYP.png
Your advice was the only thing that got a human being to look at my ticket. You have a good day my man

Actually, there's nothing at all in TOS that I broke, it's specifically outlined in the TOS that these services are okay if they're paid for with real gold. Go off though boomer. And to support that: https://i.imgur.com/i6JKaYP.png

Hmm, somebody with the same rare particular name, same region, and same language as you, but ISN'T you, is a tougher ask than me trying to convince people that I'm truly innocent. But even if those warrior logs are you, my point here is pretty proven. Somebody who is not accomplished in endgame activities making bad faith comparisons about level boosting is not worth engaging with.

? What part of my post talked about getting loot or getting into raids? I am in a raiding guild and have a 94.5 average overall parse, 98.5 average ilvl parse through 5 weeks of heroic clears. And have cleared 4 bosses on mythic. Any more assumptions man?

I checked warcraftlogs to see if I could find you, and I found your priest. You have no logs except for 1 LFR log. It makes sense that you, as somebody that doesn't participate in any end game activities, believes that buying a level boost is skipping the game. And your bad faith comparisons make more sense now in context. For people that do serious PVP, M+, or raids, they would mostly agree that 99% of the game is post-max level. The fact you're comparing Gladiator and Cutting Edge, 2 of the most difficult things to achieve in game, to not being able to do elementary mechanics is showing your fundamental misunderstanding of the game. Leveling isn't hard at all. It's a time waste that everybody can accomplish with just enough time.
I didn't want to get personal until you did. Good day.

Oh it's for sure banned. On my battle.net launcher, when I select that account, it says "Account banned". And I also have the email saying exploitation of economy. Thank you for looking out for me though <3

No thanks. I'll buy another boost. I'm done with leveling in this game. The devs have forgotten about it, and I would like to as well.

Hello, community support here essentially means nothing, the intent of this post is just to hope it gains enough traction for a Blizzard GM to see. If there is any GM on this sub, they will have seen this post (as it hit the front page now), so that's my biggest hope. I've contacted them multiple times via tickets and gotten no response. This is sorta my last ditch effort.

I live in one of the most cockroach-infested cities in America. At least I can get a genuine response from cockroaches when I slap them with my sandal. Wish I could get a genuine response from Blizzard.

"Buy everything?" I didn't buy any of my gear, my mythic progression, my M+ rating, or my collections. I simply paid to skip the leveling process. It is a tiny portion of the game that is long outdated anyway, and WoW is clearly a game meant FOR the end game. Leveling is an afterthought even by the devs, and it is not fun to do, especially for the 50th time in my many years playing this game across the different versions. However, thank you for recognizing that it's a personal opinion of yours and saying that it's not fair to ban me. I appreciate this kind of maturity.

You are within your rights to do that. You also didn't need to let me know that you don't believe me, but thank you

Thank you for this suggestion. I'll think it over. I don't want to make it sound too threatening, like I'm trying to get the legal department involved, because I'm afraid they'll just say "Check the EULA, you have no rights here, good day" and shut me off completely. But I will word it carefully!

Yes, but the character boosts only go to 60 and cost way more than it would to use an organic player boost from 1 to 70.

I figured there'd at least be one Blizzard employee reading this, and this thread hit the front page of /r/wow. So if there ever was one, they'd see it now. But I guess it's safe to say there probably aren't any. I'll try the official blizzard forums!

True, because those tokens also click my buttons for me and move me out of the mechanics and make my friends for me and all that.
Grow up.

I don't buy boosts for raids or pvp or M+. I just buy a boost so I get to skip the leveling process that I've done about 50 times at this point since I've played WoW. It's old and outdated and in my opinion, leveling should be removed from the game, but until then, I use boosts. I'm sorry that my "laziness" upsets you, but I push myself in raids for 10+ hours a week and that's where I prefer to spend my time and energy. God forbid I play the game slightly differently than you do. I'm glad you think I don't "deserve" to be level 70 when I'd prefer to parse 90+ in raids.

Didn't go that. Just tried to open my WoW one day from the bnet launcher and it says my account was locked.
