[Cookie799]

Could you post a screenshot of that mail, as I find it very unlikely that they would point out the whole annual pass thingy in a suspension mail.

Yes, would be nice.

[KuRIoS]

STOOOOOOP posting "Agreed" "yes that would be nice etc.. Dont you think he have already seen it?

From blizz FAQ
"Can I use game cards with this promotion?
Any qualifying game time added to the account may apply to the 12-month subscription requirement."
so i dont think so they banned u for adding RAF to acc, they will rather say u that u are gold seller or something like that.
So for others who doing same thing (as I) just buy 2-3 months from RAF, spend money/gold for another 2 months, and again get RAF. It isnt normal for anyone who seeing one acc which referred 12 persons :P

One more thing, thread is posted 2 days ago around 7 pm, so they will be so fast? And banned him for paying for annual pass by RAF? I dont think so. So imo its fake ( no ss no happen) or just he get banned for "selling" gold.

EDIT
Evilzod
In GM eyes he is gold seller cuz sold 210k gold. They dont know what he got for this gold, money, RAF or whatever.

Just read some topic on official forum and RAF method isnt banable.
Just buy each 2 months RAFs from different ppls (to avoid same email and IP) and all should be ok.

He didn't get in trouble for selling gold etc, he got in trouble because the credit card used to buy game time that provided him with his RAF time were charged back. This falls on the shoulders of whoever he purchased the game time from, if it's true. It won't matter if you only buy one month at a time, if they charge back on the credit card used to pay for the account then Blizzard will remove your game time.

I'm curious if OP got this after signing up for the annual pass. That might raise red flags?

Billing issues not handled by game masters, that's what the billing team for. They have a different sig so I call bullshit. Also, these guys gonna have insane amount of buyers due the annual pass, why the hell would they start chargebacking payments. This doesn't make sense at all.

[Incubusssa]

RAF in big amounts has been removed as early as 5 months ago. I can personally testify for that. It's not new, however I think the issue came, because the friend of mine in question was continuously adding more and more months (had over an year worth of RAF game time).

Might be true, but it might simply be the above case with too much RAF Gametime catching their attention somehow. Who knows!

[Jmads]

Where'd the OP go? A pic of the e-mail or something would be nice.

On another note, I could totally see something where Blizz waits until people buy up a years worth of RAF and sign the 1yr contract for the annual pass, and then take all the game time away so you're forced to pay the 'legit' way.(I know that isn't what got the OP supposedly banned, and they did this before he signed up for the annual pass, but just a thought).

Thinking about the above, I just recently bought 1yr4m worth of game time with gold(from 2 people) so now I'm kind of on the fence about signing up for the annual pass.

[portalsola]

Just wondering, are everyone that has been banned for this trading for gold? because i've recently signed up for 12 months for the annual pass i payed with real money thou. Also, how long from purchase ti'll you got banned, im guessing theres an investigation period.

[Goldenstein Inc.]

It's hard to say that this is true, but also you can't say it's not... However, as some people here said, it would be good if you provide some screenshots of mail etc. Let's say that my customers haven't god banned, not any of them. I think that thing with "Annual Pass" and RAF gametime will be fine, but how can u expect that your account will remain safe if you but 12 months of RAF instantly and trade that much ammount of gold?! Come on, people get banned for 20k gold trade, not to mention 210k?! Just think a bit before you rush into something like that, buy 3 by 3 months every week/two, don't go for instant year of wow playtime. I just saw that some people are scary of this, believe me, you shouldn't be, just work smart & safe. That's all, think about it, and don't rush.

There are 3 known RaF seller on this forum, Precious, Medfrog & WoWDealer! Only post if you have been banned after you purchased from these guys and provide proof. Stop scaring people with your bullshit, it's pointless.

[Goldenstein Inc.]

Yeah, as I said, don't sell some story without evidence and don't scare other people that wanna get Diablo 3 same as you.

Im just wondering, is it even possible to earn money this way without chargebacks?

Agreed. You don't need to pay all 12 months you need for Diablo 3 from the start. You agree to play and pay for wow for the next 12 months, with any kind of gametime option. So just don't get 12 months from the start... buy 3... and then wait for those to end... then get 3 more... etc

[mdsniper7]

i bought 12 months raf didnt do the diablo 3 thing does that mean i will get banned I always buy it buy the year

i wonder if anyone else bought 12 months not for diablo and got banned
