Just got banned while playing, looks like the 24h account suspension but no email received yet.
(EU Server fished in Hyal with Levitate and Uldum, mailed stuff to an alt)
Edit: got mail, 24H xD

When I logged in today got mail from blizzard and my fishes have been deleted. Well at least I didn't get ban
I still have my stuff but all this "my stuff is gone" is killing me D=
Got banned today forYet I haven't fished in nearly a week now so it seems they are catching up with people.Offense: Entered and gained goods in a forbidden area
Details: Accessed expansion content through abuse use of game mechanics. All goods gained from these areas have been removed from the characters involved.
1 question I have though, although they said they have remove my items, I have made nearly 13k gold selling these items and since I can't log into the game atm can anyone tell me if they will be removing my gold earned via selling these fish??
I'm just hoping that if I do get banned, it comes sooner than later, as I'd hate to be banned when Cata comes out...
From what I can tell, if you've fished Cata fish there's a good/high chance of a 24H ban (provided its your 1st ban, could be longer or permenant) and if you've brought these items or handled them in anyway (traded, mailed, etc..) there's a smaller chance, but very much so still a good chance of a ban. Bare in mind it took them about 5-6 days after I last fished and about 2 weeks from when I first fished to recieve my ban. So for eg. if you first fished these up 3 days ago you could still be waiting 11 days before you get a ban, unless your lucky enough to not recieve any ban
Good luck to you guys, learned my lesson and like "LeetHaxor" says, better you get a ban now rather than when Cata goes live.
The items deleted were in READ mail on my alt. However, I can confirm that Cata fish inside READ mail with a different subject name were not deleted. Example: put a stack of Frostweave Cloth in 1st so the subject is changed to "Frostweave Cloth", then add your Cata fish. Read the mail, but leave it in the mailbox. These should be safe.During a recent investigation regarding exploitation, we discovered that one of your characters had received item(s) that had been obtained in exploitive activities regarding zones involved in the Cataclysm expansion. Unfortunately, the item(s) that originated from this exploitation have been removed at this time.
Our current policies regarding exploitive items or money apply to players who knowingly or unknowingly receive money or items from a player that had been committing exploitive activities. If the character in possession of these items was found to have assisted with perpetuating the exploitation, they may receive an account penalty up to and including account closure. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have been caused.
I received no ban, but almost all fish were taken away.
Not saying you're wrong, but I don't see why they would wait 2 weeks after you first fished, if it was that way, you could carry the fish into cata and still get server first cooking or w/e, and then the fish would actually be available anyway. I'm sure they could tell if you got it before cata, but it would seem silly to ban someone for obtaining something earlier (and making no profit) that would be available to everyone. But I suppose it still makes sense as you obtained it before it was available.
Does anyone know where we can train the new fishing skill to 525? Where can we find the trainer when cata goes live?
