Petition: Broxigarr's unfair ban

Recently, my friend Broxigarr recieved a ban for "Account sharing". He recieved no warning, no prior notice, just his account closed, and cut off from anyway of contacting someone. I post this in hopes of getting a serious review of the situation, and save my friends account, for he is a good player and would never do anything deserving of what hes recieved.

Heres what he says about it.

* The first day, i tried to log on my account. Completly out of the blue, it says your account has been closed, go to this link for more info. It told me to check my email, so i did, and nothing was there. So i sent in a message discribing my situation. I had to wait two days, and they send me a premade message telling me more links i have to send stuff to. After browsing for the right one for about an hour, i find the account administration. After finaly figuring out what i was banned for, which is pretty much nothing, i sent a letter saying how i didnt relize it was such a big offense, and that i wouldnt do it again. Instead of describing it, ill just copy paste the message i wrote.

Alright, ive done wrong, but ive learned my lesson. Ive been playing

World of Warcraft for about three years now. Ive made alot of friends,

found a guild of people who care about me, and leveled almost three

characters to 70 on my own. This game is a big part of my life,

and if you truly would like to say you make this game fun for everyone,

please, i beg you, give a guy another chance. Ive been a hardcore

Blizzard game freak since diablo one, and i dont want it to end here.

So im sorry, and i shall never share account info again.

They didnt even read what i wrote, all i got was another automated message, followed by it telling me all i could do was petition to the link i just sent the message to.

Since i cant get in contact with them without having policies thrown in my face by automated messages.
Ive asked my friend to do it on the forums, seeing how they want to completly shut me off from contacting them rather then just spending 10 minutes to discuss it with me.

I do this in hopes of opening someones eyes to the situation. So that i may play with the people i care about. And none of you can honestly say that you havent let your friend or brother or what ever tryout your account once or more times.

And please, if your just going to throw polocies at me, spare your self the trouble, because ive read them all. This is just my way of saying a good player made a mistake, and deserves a seccone chance.*


There you have it.

Please, sign the petition, in hopes of restoring somthing that shouldnt have been lost in the first place.

Given that this thread has devolved into lolcats, I feel that whatever constructive benefit it might have served — and I use the term "constructive" loosely, since it began as a petition — has finally been exhausted. Should your friend wish to contest the prior judgment, Grizbear, he is more than welcome to reopen his dialogue with Account Administration; however, I feel it should be noted that, as the determination has been revisited and subsequently upheld more than once, it is unlikely that the account closure shall be overturned. Nevertheless, I wish him the best.

Q u o t e:
What's wrong with lolcats?


They do little for one's sense of gravitas.
