The aweful dad who got his son perma-banned

ok well I will start at the start of this... my son’s birthday was coming up and I didn’t know what to buy him... so I thought to myself "he loves wow he has got 3 toons to 80 so far and he’s only 13 years old" so I thought I will get him a powerleveled toon to 80 so he will have 4 80s so I found a great site ([Removed].com) and went ahead with my birthday surprise... then today a week after giving him his power leveling I get a email from blizzard...

***Notice of Account Closure***

Account Name: ***********

Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs (""Hacks"")

This account was closed because one or more characters were identified using an unauthorized cheat program, also known as a ""hack."" These programs provide character benefits normally not achievable in the World of Warcraft. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries. Use of these unauthorized programs harm the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and supersede the intended limits of the game.

Even if this behavior is the result of a third party accessing the account instead of the registered user (for example, a friend, family member, or leveling service) then the account can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.

We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/antigold.html

The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure.

For any disputes of this action or further information on Exploitive Activity, please visit the Exploitative Activity FAQ and contact page here: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/exploitfaq
