Banned!

I logged in to complete my neitherwing dailies. I couldn't get in.

I check my email and...

" ***Notice of Account Closure***

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

Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy

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."

I can only presume that someone thinks I am a bot or something. I have a HUGE portion of the AH market for scrolls and I regularly list almost every scroll twice a day on my banker alt. Because of this, I also buy huge quantities of mats. I'll regularly buy out entire stocks of items.

I've emailed them, but I think calling is going to be my best bet. This is really irritating.

    Yup, this happens more and more for my banker account. Either their new botting algorithym's are jacked or my competition is complaining again. Hopefully this doesn't mess up your timeline. But if it does, at least take heart in the fact that you are making enough gold to abuse the wow economy! :D

    Good to know, thank you :)

    It's strange, but when you get punished for something, you go back and think "maybe I DID do something wrong..."

    Hopefully I can get through to them today from work.

Remember to Share (300 Toys)!

This one has taken a while. I finally picked up 300 toys (and thus the mount for the achievement) after starting to seriously work on my Archaeology achievements for the first time. I've been doing the fortnightly Legion archaeology quests for a while (and thus had 800 skill) but I completely ignored this profession in earlier expansions as it seemed seriously boring. With some knowledge and a good addon, it's much better however. Some tips if you're just starting to work on archaeology: 1. Download the "Archy" addon. This addon does several things: first, it shows you the location and completion status of all digsites in the current continent. Second, it automatically sets the closes one as a waypoint for TomTom. Third, it indicates when it's possible to solve an artifact with and without a keystone, so you don't have to constantly check your archaeology screen. On top of that, the distance indicator shows when you are in the correct range from your ...

A Song of Wind and Water

I've been working on Oracles and Ogri'la rep every day and have about four days to go. One thing I've noticed about these older daily quests is that there is little provision for high-level players that one-shot everything. Two quests in particular stand out as being annoying until you learn the high-level trick. The first is Banish More Demons in Blade's Edge. This involves placing a portal on the ground then killing demons within a few feet of the portal. The portal has a one-minute cooldown and you need fifteen demons. It was a slow exercise in frustration because kiting further-away demons was difficult sue to all my abilities one-shotting them before they got near. In the end, I learned to use the Shaman's "Purge" ability to aggro mobs without killing them and pull them close to the portal. The second, and more annoying, quest that isn't scaled for high-level players is the Ogri-la's Song of Wind and Water .  This involves weakening ...
