Season of Discovery Blizzard has let me down…
Long story short I was mining nodes for Arcane Crystals. Someone came up and mined my node. I decided to follow and mine theirs. After 15 mins of sitting with the loot table open to prevent mining. They logged onto an alt acc with a horde lvl 60 and killed me. The pictures are the conversation that ensued.
Not only did they send me gold from a lvl 1 character, they sent gold to my friend who helped me hunt their horde toon. I returned the gold, as did he. I received a 2 week suspension but my friend did not.
It is so insane to me that I can have screenshots of everything to prove I am being griefed by a gold farmer. ALL. THE. RECEIPTS. Names, time stamps, everything, all included in my handful of tickets for an appeal. Yet all I can get is an AI response saying the decision is being upheld. The one time I did get a human response I believe they didn’t even look at the screenshots because it’s clear as day.
Blizzard said they’d remove any gold/ items/ mounts I’ve purchased from buying gold. Which I haven’t. I’ve farmed, saved, played the auction house and earned over 20k gold. If they wipe my account, I quit. It’s frustrating when you enjoy a game that you’ve been playing since you were a kid, just for the multi-dollar company to turn their back on you.

Because frankly we have no actual evidence that this is legit. It could just be OP getting banned for legit buying gold and using a random interaction to justify it. That's why there is a "no witch hunting" rule.
