after using http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23824 in said wsg match to get away from about 7 horde cornering me. GM didn't even say anything to me, just dropped me on my head for using my profession. I would love it if every deep thunder warrior got 3 day bans from time to time for excessively stunning enemy players by using their profession's items.

Regrettably, Aliandren, the specific "use" of these boots will only allow one's running speed to increase for approximately 3-5 seconds; according to my records, however, your particular character was observed moving quite quickly for nearly 3 minutes.

I believe there's a bit more to this story than what is being communicated at this point in time.

Regardless, if you feel as though the aforementioned penalty was applied in error, you're welcome to speak with Account Administration, either by email or web form (I've supplied both available avenues of dispute below).

Q u o t e:
The fact that you would accuse me of doing so with such garbage non-descript language as "quite fast" is an insult in itself.

Given that discussions regarding disciplinary actions are patently discouraged on these forums, I possess little to no intention of revealing the specifics--beyond a basic time frame--of this particular action. Facts and data have been purposely omitted, as they are relatively inappropriate in this particular location; if you wish to pursue dispute, Aliandren, please contact Account Administration.
