Everyone was speeding officer. I don't know why I got pulled over. Its not fair.

You got caught. They didn't. You broke the rules, just as they did. If you know who is doing it, report it. You getting caught changes nothing about the fact that you broke the rules

You're lucky it's only a suspension. Clearly you broke the rules and you got caught.

[Amaterasu65]

See you in Shadowlands boi.

[Temp name]

So I was using the trick to dupe gold that everyone is doing that spread on reddit.

Yes, 100% deserved. Don't cheat.

[Nevcairiel]

You cheated. You got caught. You do the time. That is all. Other people do not factor into it.

If your dad is any serious lawyer, he'll laugh you out of his office, or living room, or whatever.

My Dad's a lawyer and I think I can sue them. What do you think?

Thanks for the morning laugh.

You just answered your own question.

Any one can support a bug report here: us.battle.net/support/en/article/15043

NO ONE IS DOING THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE BUG. It is just me they are picking on.

[Cosmic Janitor]

There are exploits that hardly matter, like leveling your 285th alt a bit faster and then there are exploits that ruin parts of the game, duping gold is the later. You should be glad they didn't outright delete your account. Mr. 3 post fresh account.

I never felt the need to make an account before because I never complain about Blizzard, they are a great company. But this is so unfair.

Very presumptuous you thinking only YOU got banned, and no one else...

[mojusk]

Doing something illegal without getting caught doesnt make it legal.
Be glad you learned this lesson in a game and not irl.

I swear officer, you're just picking on me! You can scan anyone's car, you're just pointing at me and only me to pick on me!

You got caught. Period. Don't cheat. You reap what you sow. You certainly can report others for doing it if you're certain. Most people aren't dumb enough to do it because 1) its obvious 2) we've seen people get perma banned for this and 3) they will round up everyone who did it in time.

Go find something else to do until tomorrow.

No, it's just that ur dumber than the rest and got caught.

[Azerox]

But the bank was already being robbed officer.

[cardwalp]

No, it's just that ur dumber than the rest and got caught.

HOW AM I DUMBER THAN THE REST I JUST MADE ENOUGH FOR A NICE MOUNT, PEOPLE ARE MAKING MILLIONS OF GOLD FROM THIS!!!!

I bet all of you criticising are using it right now.

[Frozenbeef]

I'm glad you got banned, shame it wasn't permanent.

That's like robbing a bank and being confused why the police arrest you....just because you can do something doesn't mean you should...

I can guarantee you we're not.
