Banned, could a GM look at this again?

[Blackwormz]

I just tried to log on with my account and noticed I have been banned.
I can only assume it has a connection to your latest twitterpost regarding buying and selling gold.

I do not believe this ”Gold Trafikking Ban” is deserved in my case. Although large sums of money have been moved to and from my account I can assure you that everything is 100 % legitimate. The gold I have received are from various members of my guild and other friends and have been going towards the construction of Thunderfury in the future. The gold have been used to buy different kind of materials for the quest, if you check my bank you will notice some of them (around 100 arcanite bars).

I ask you to please review my case once again, for i believe this permaban is undeserved.

Please review my case once again?, i dont understand how i can be gold trafficking.
I have not bought any gold or sold any gold for real life money.
As you can see in my bank i have the mats to make Thunderfury.
So it have been alot of gold going in and out from my character, thats because i have had alot of help from my guild and ingame friends that have lend me items for tanking service, is that not allowed?

Im begging you to look at the case once again since i have spend ALOT of hours on this character, and im 100% sure my actions ingame are not agains the terms of use since i have not bought or sold gold for real life money.

If your guildmates and friends bought any of the gold given to you, or used that gold to buy you mats, that would fall within the gold trafficking ban reason.

[Blackwormz]

But if thats the case, that some of my guild mates or ingame friends that helped me out with getting the 100 arcanite bars (Think the guild bank helped me with around 15 and guildies/friends around 15) and rest is from myself farming and selling stuff on AH / given items to sell on AH for tanking service and the case is that some of those or one of them that helped me with getting it have bought gold or did anything that broke the term of use shouldent i been giving a warning so i could be more carefull? or a 24H ban with a warning?

That can't be it Blackwormz, surely they must belive you purchased most of what you own on the web or are involved in a large gold trafficing heist or something like that.. Having unknowlingly of the dangers recieved help from questionable people with just a few pieces of the Thunderfury mats cannot be the cause of your ban, that would be, excuse my choice of words - fucking stupid.

Since you say you did not buy any gold ever or have had any affiliations with gold trafficing or trafficers(to your knowledge at the time being), as you've told me in confidence, enough grounds for a reasonable permanent ban you cannot exist.
Well yeah, this is a free server and the Devs and Admins can do as they please, close any account they want, but in my opinion they must also recognize a person who invested alot of time and effort into his character and would not risk anything of it with silly gold trafficing to deserve anything like this.
This guy would get the gold or mats for anything he wanted to get from the guild's bank completely free, if he asked for it, which he did whenever he needed something. He would never buy dirty internet crap.

The GM's have made an error here which is a huge blow to our guild, we've been almost unable to raid this past week and had to reschedule alot because our main tank is suddenly suspended
