Oh hi there, i'd like to ask a GM why my friend was perma banned for this reason.

"This account was closed because one or more characters were identified exchanging, or contributing to the exchange of, in-game property (items or gold) for ""real-world"" currency. This exchange process negatively impacts the World of Warcraft game environment by detracting from the value of the in-game economy."

He is Winterchild of the realm Jubei-thos, Apprently he's been buying gold? He has been making gold from selling glyphs not buying it -_-

Well, we really cannot discuss another's account with a third party, but your friend should have contact information in that email on how to appeal.

He will want to email Account Administration and ask this be reviewed. They can be reached at [email protected].

If they were actually checking the logs. they would see the gold came from the AH not a player?


You are making presumptions.

You are also making presumptions on someone else's account.

Both probably aren't for the best.

Just have your friend call Bliz.
They are very open minded and would rather help then turn there backs.

Tell him to do it fast, weekends are closed I think.


The phones are open on weekends, but this is an Account Administration matter.

Calling won't help when an action needs reviewed.
