Hello XXXXXXXXXXX,I wanted to give a quick follow up on the situation. It seems as if the actions made on your account were in error. We do apologize for this situation, as our intention is to clean up the rampant win trading going on, we did encounter a few mistakes along the way. Unfortunately your team was filtered through association, and was tracked and actioned due to an error in judgment. I apologize for that.
The items removed from your character have been restored and should be in your mailbox. Your points should also be returned as well.
However, Blizzard still stands firmly against disturbing the essence of World of Warcraft. Your account will not be reopened under any circumstances.
Furthermore, any activities not intended by game design which affect the economy, the client, player characters or the world itself have a tremendous negative impact on the potential enjoyment for all players. The effects of these activities take many forms including a bloated game economy, server instability, and allowing unauthorized access to accounts, computers, and player data.
