WoW Lawyer Question and Answer

[elliotthehobo]

I have some questions about scamming
1) Is it better to delete the toon that you scammed with or to just leave him on your account?

2) Could having special characters that look like normal letters (e.g. i and ì) reduce your chance in getting banned, like if they reported your name as being minion and it was actually minìon would that reduce the chance Blizzard would have of catching you?

3) Would it be better to scam several smaller amounts or one large sum (e.g. 5 500s or a 2500)

4) For getting gold to your main account, would it be more effective to mail, trade or buy something expensive out of the auction house put in by your main?

5) I have two accounts, on different credit cards, emails and with different last names, addresses and phone numbers. How likely is it that they could both get banned via an IP trace and when are IP traces used and how often?

6) How "bad" on the scale is the CoD scam, and could you use the plea of something along the lines of "I had a stack of 20 and a stack of 1 in my inventory and I must have clicked the wrong stack" or something like that or would Blizz see through it?

7) Would deleting your toon directly after you got the money+transfered it be better than waiting?

Thanks in advance for your help, and I think what your doing is great

No, it doesn't make a difference.

2) Could having special characters that look like normal letters (e.g. i and ì) reduce your chance in getting banned, like if they reported your name as being minion and it was actually minìon would that reduce the chance Blizzard would have of catching you?

It could decrease your chances of getting reported, if someone were lazy. But then, you only need to shift+click their name into a petition.

3) Would it be better to scam several smaller amounts or one large sum (e.g. 5 500s or a 2500)

That's very hard to say. That's really up to the AA employee who reviews you.

4) For getting gold to your main account, would it be more effective to mail, trade or buy something expensive out of the auction house put in by your main?

Although no method is completley safe, the AH method appears to be the safest. I have still seen people get banned after doing the AH method, though.

5) I have two accounts, on different credit cards, emails and with different last names, addresses and phone numbers. How likely is it that they could both get banned via an IP trace and when are IP traces used and how often?

As long as they weren't registered with the same credit card, then the chances of them IP banning any of your accounts are very unlikely if you're just doing in-game scams. IP traces are typically only used in cases of big-time account "hackers."

6) How "bad" on the scale is the CoD scam, and could you use the plea of something along the lines of "I had a stack of 20 and a stack of 1 in my inventory and I must have clicked the wrong stack" or something like that or would Blizz see through it?

It's just as bad as any other scam. And no, that plea would never work, especially considering that you seem to be doing this scam more than once.

7) Would deleting your toon directly after you got the money+transfered it be better than waiting?

Deleting it at any time wouldn't help.

Sure, no problem.

hehe I recently got banned for powerleveling:/ thats why its time to bring up some questions
1) I noticed this in the messesage

Account access is the responsibility of the account owner and account sharing is against our Terms of Use (World of Warcraft Europe -> Legal Documents -> Terms of Use). Therefore, should you believe someone other than yourself (the account owner) has committed this violation of the Terms of Use with your account, these sanctions would still apply, as our action is taken against the account, not the individual.

does that mean that I should go for the my acc was hacked method
2)What are my chances of getting the account back
3)How bout calling them and saying that I was on vacations in china but I was dead bored and decided to play wow:P
4)And how bout saying I used proxy?
5)If thats not good enough, what is?
6)How to protect your account from getting banned while getting powerleveled
7) Any spelling mistakes and w/e are not my fault since im drunk, Im trying my best not to stick a big picture of a cock here

TIA

1. The only way to get an account unbanned is the "I got hacked" method.

2. Fairly high, if you write a good email and follow my tips. My tips being: act like a real hack victim. Do not mention the ban at all until the very end. If you start out an email with "please unban me I got hacked," it makes you look guilty. Just talk about how you were hacked, and say when you came home, you checked your email and you found an account closure letter and you don't know what to do.

3. This won't work for 2 reasons. One, because they do not have an AA phone number. Their only phone lines are Billing Support and Tech Support, and neither of them will deal with bans in any way. And two...just don't say that. Say you were hacked. And email it.

4. Don't bother.

5. Saying you got hacked. That's all you say. Explain it in detail, including where you were gone, what happened when you came back, the name of the keylogger, etc.

6. The only thing you can do is get powerleveling from someone you know lives in your country, like a friend or someone on MMOwned. Getting Chinese powerleveling greatly increases the chances of getting banned. You can get banned no matter where they live, but the chances are definitely higher if there's a Chinese IP on the account.

7. Okay...

GMs constantly tell you to delete your WTF and Cache folders because it completely resets your interface to original Blizzard standards. This is because addons and things can screw up your interface, corrupt it, and generally just cause problems to occur. Believe it or not, deleting those 2 folders often fix a lot of people's problems.

Blizzard wont reply to my emails anymore what should I do?

You're saying you've sent them multiple emails to try and get unbanned, and they've denied them all? If so, then just give up. You're not going to get your account back. Sorry.

[swankboss]

No, not denied them, just wont answer.

[Verye]

No, not denied them, just wont answer.

You're saying, they haven't responded to any email you've sent them, ever?

[[email protected]]

If you constantly e-mail blizzard after you are banned asking for them to unban you and whatnot. they eventually put you on an ignore list and stop responding. This happened to me, is it now IMPOSSIBLE to get my account unbanned?
