Blizzard Started Banning for RAF gametime. READ PLEASE!

[empty_skillz]

So the last months Blizzard has removed Recruit a friend gametime few times for most of us(I assume) and few days ago
i got disconnected and found myself trying to login into my account only to get the message "Account is temporarly Disabled"

and i made an seemingly noobish ticket on battle.net about it "Asking why i was banned due to the fact i did not recieve any emaila bout it"

and after a few hours they came back with the response of me needing to send in Id and answer the standard questions, and then another 12hours later (already had my account unbanned but still unable to login"

i asked them What was wrong and why i still were unable to login, and i got THIS response and it got me thinking

So i decided to try fish for abit more info acting noobish and i ended up geting this response, and its actually bit to serious, seeing its a FORUM represant answering it
i also few minutes after this one i had 1 other everyday forum game master answering the ticket aswell. giving THIS RESPONSE [/FONT]

i dont know but it seems like they are geting serious and actually taking more and more drastic actions towards RAF gametime.

anyone else had this issue?



EDIT: This was all on my Farming account on separate BATTLE NET!

I got it removed and can no longer use RAF it seems (when I send them out they never arrive)

i had that issue on my main account, after 1 removal and now im stuck with the normal recurring ;/ on that one, but my others work so far

Well the thing is you are costing them a small amount of money every time you do RAF. I dont know why they have not banned people for this long.... I think they will start to see the number of active players drop if they start banning people for RAF... We will see :| To them you are playing for free and costing them a small amount of money..

well then they should not have raf at all.

well then they should not have raf at all.

that is just silly. in theory (how its supposed to work) blizzard will always make money off of RAF, because to receive any rewards for the RAF the new player has to purchase game time (and probably expansions if they want to get anywhere). the problem is that the subscriptions that are supposed to be paid for are just being charged back after the referring account receives the bonuses. blizzard loses this way.
