This is not the same account so im free of any bans or suspensions. This is merely the person behind it talking. On the morning of today, the 10/01/2010 my other account was suspended for 48 hours. I was accused of scamming, an accusation which is true but I do not call it scamming; in a sense.

The thing I don't get is that why wouldn't people armory my character to see If I was an engineer or even think and wonder why I am selling a mechano-hog so cheap when I obviously wouldn't get any profit from it. It's a scam if you read it yet so many people fell for it. Something that would have helped with this problem would be the engineering link. If the feature was implemented with the characters name on the profession window this problem wouldn't have occured, I blame Blizzard for that.

I scammed atleast 40k gold, on a seperate character I bought a Grand Ice Mammoth, the regular Ice Mammoth, a Battered Hilt, Shroud of Displacement as well as power leveling my enchanting from 310 to 400 and tailoring to 420 from 0. I did all of this and only some of it was removed.

Blizzard then took my Cold Weather and Artisan flying off of my two characters which is 11k right there. Battered Hilt which was bought for 18k, my tailoring was removed which is around 6k and my enchanting down to 289, lower than when I first started the scheme. That there is only about 35k. Most of the other gold went towards repairs, guild bank contributions.

The funny thing is that the flying training on both accounts was bought atleast 3 months before I started this. Blizzard please learn to investigate a problem before you remove gear and items. Give my genuine stuff back and fix the blackspots in your game features that make scamming this easy.
