Account Closed? Why?

by fatbruh » Fri Mar 18, 2016 8:23 pm

Hello,

I was just AFKing in Ironforge a few minutes ago while surfing the web. I was eventually disconnected, and when I tried to log back in, I saw the "This account has been closed and is no longer available for use" message...

I have a feeling this ban is because of all the recent gold trafficking issues, but it's absolutely ridiculous because I've probably traded gold with another player less than ~5 times EVER, and I've never dealt with more than 65g at a time. Almost all of the gold in my account's lifetime has been made through vendor trash and selling things on the AH.

My recent transactions: I did buy an Onyxia Scale Cloak from another player just yesterday (or 2 days ago) for 65g. I purchased it from a low level (level 1-10) Gnome in Ironforge - I didn't think much of it until now. Besides that, all of my gold activity from the past few weeks has just been from selling vendor trash and assorted items on the AH (green items, leather, runecloth, etc).

Again, I've never sent or received major amounts of gold. I've barely even traded gold with another player. I've never used any external clients/hacks/bots/etc. I wasn't involved in any in-game harassment or bug abuse..and to my knowledge, I've never been hacked or anything of the sort.


I also can't log in on the main Nostalrius website. It keeps saying "Bad Credentials".

All I want to do is get my account back so I can start raiding with the new guild I joined just last week...My main character was Fatbruh, 60 NE Rogue, PVP server. Please let me know if you need more information.

Will do man.

I was also able to login to the main Nostalrius page after changing my password. All it says is that I've been permanently banned, without giving a reason.

Thank you. Please let me know if you need any other information regarding my recent gold activity.

Again, my biggest player to player gold transaction EVER was buying an Onyxia Scale Cloak from a low level Gnome in Ironforge for 65g, a day or two before my ban. I also bought a Sword of Zeal from another player for ˜50g a few months ago. Otherwise, I've rarely ever traded gold with other players, except when I tip them for enchants, or when they tip me for unlocking lockboxes. 99.9% of my lifetime gold has been made through vendoring items or selling things on the AH.
