before I get started I would like to point that out that I am not in a good mood. And also that I pay my $30 a year to gamespot and I'm not posting on page 151 of the wow thread because no one will ever read it.

Twice last year my inactive wow account was disabled. Yes, thats right my INACTIVE account was disabled because I was "caught" using exploits. Yes, you see its the newest thing...exploiting wow without even having to have it installed on your computer or paying for a subscription. I double checked and indeed it was inactive and had been since I cancelled the subscription. After many e-mails (for each time I was banned) I finally managed to get those blizz reps to deviate from their standard pre-written garbage and actually read what I was saying. So they unbanned me without explanation of anything. Now that I have started up again, it has happened again. Banned for "using exploits". I don't even know what exploits I'm accused of using. I have nothing except the titan toolbar and I don't see how thats an exploit, especially since blizz has a button for add-ons at the char screen. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any suggestions? Hopefully we can compile some info useful to other players.

From the liscence agreement it says something like "Blizzard reserve this right to close accounts with or without warning or reason." Something like that.

Anyway, although I player the game a lot Blizzard do piss me off a lot. Almost as much as the players.

i don't get it, how was your "inactive" was banned? Not to mention, if your account was infact inactive, why do you care that it was banned? Something sounds fishy. I don't think we are getting all the info here...

It's a joke. And if you really prefer GW over WoW, may I ask you why? I've played over 200 hours of GW and there's really no way I'd ever play it again, the community and the general behaviour of the players are even worse than in WoW, and there's not nearly as much depth and content in it as in WoW. The best part of GW is the lack of subscription fees.

Nah I wont.

Its just that it was such a lame statement. And well I dont really see the joke, but oh well.

Its just like someone choosing to buy a Honda over a Pontiac, I choose Pontiac (yes I drive one).

In the case of WoW and GW, I tried them both and I've chosen GW and I dont regret it one bit. And as far as community yes there are some real jerks, but I mainly play with my guild, and when you play with total strangers, will you never know what you're gonna get, and that is true with any online community I dont care what you say.

And for the record I have nothing bad to say about WoW, if you like it, then that is all that matters, just dont end up on the Tara Banks show LOL! :)

You have to love how every topic asking for help on either of these MMOs turns into a "gw is better" "no wow is better" topic..../sigh

As far as being banned for no reason, I've never heard of that happening to anyone. Are you sure you didnt maybe do something against the ToS? You could've done it months ago and they could ban you now for it.
