Hello,
My character name is Rylus, a level 60 warrior. I tried to log on to my account today to find that I have been banned for an alleged "Forbidden gold transaction."
I do not, nor have I ever, exchanged real currency for in-game gold.
First, I have no reason to buy gold. I make all my gold using auctioneer. Simply buying and reselling items at a markup. I make plenty of gold doing this. Supplementing this tactic with herbalism has always been sufficient for my needs.
Second, I don't need any more gold. I have plenty. I purchased my epic mount months ago. I have all the enchants I could want. I only log on for the occasional arathi basin pvp or to pug mc. I would not buy gold, because I just don't have a need or desire for it.
If there is any evidence to the fact that I conducted a "Forbidden gold transaction" please share it. I would be happy to explain any transaction that may have caught the GM's eye for being potentially illegitimate.
Thank you.
