Quoting people doesn't make you clever, in fact, it makes you all the more stupid for not bothering to read the quotes you post in the first place.
Er no, actually they are the same thing. Breaking the law, (or rules) either in a game or by ripping off music an videos is exactly the same thing... you can't condone/support one and not the other.

So murder is the same as stealing a peice of gum when you are 5 that is is interesting. The fact is the originial post chose to break the rules, and got caught. Once again dont; do the crime if you can't do the time.

No they're not. The law and the rules of a game, even though they appear similar are actually not the same thing.Er no, actually they are the same thing.

It's actually against the rules to share an account to be specific, but anyway...
In what way did you think buying honour points is different to buying gold or levelling??? you're paying someone else to give you an unfair advantage. and don't say "oh, but i have a LIFE!" cause that just doesn't cut it. you don't NEED to play 24/7 to rack up a few honour points, and nobody's going to come along and kill your family if you don't have 5000 honour in 2 days.
The game's designed to play at your own pace and have fun at it. you broke the rules, you whined about it and tried to look so hard done, but at the end of the day, other people with lives still get the same achievements themselves. all you did was give more custom to the farmers, meaning one more day they'll be able to afford to keep spamming their services in game. if nothing else, that alone is unforgivable. thanks a load for the extra spam, hope you keep away from those now.

Well I will say Im still waiting on World Of Warcraft to either re-instate the account or not... maybe ots the whole limbo thing that has gotton me down... I undertand they are swamped 24/7 to look at each case and to decide if the account is warrented enough to be banned for ever.. Luckily for me the third party site did nothing to my account except try to log into it and the red flag came out.. I went and bought Fix-it utilities and found no such viruses. that would harm nor do aything to the WOW servers.. but i also did buy a product called PCtool spyware doctor... Which i highly recommend and going through that long process I did find a keylogger that was placed in the background deep inside my machine.... So whether this keylogger came from the thrid party site or not.. Im greatful for Blizzard for taking actions at this time.. Again if i lose my char over this, maybe it was for the best... At least some good came out of this and that keylogger is now been cleared.. so maybe in a strnge way this mught be a Blessing in disguise..
I would warn people do not trust these sites... their intentions may not be all they are cracked up to be... To comprehend my account is one thing to comrehend my banking or other personal stuff is another...
So lesson learned...... wont be dealing with anyone from third party sites/ nor ebay.. for fear of these things now...
I probably will not get my char in-stated so i will start over again... hate to do the time... but from everything I learned ( and not from the jealous people on here who couldnt afford it to level) I will start fresh...
I had a long conversation (with wow employee over the phone) about what islegal and waht isnt and basically he told me thing s that I could do that was legal and in the spirit of WOW playing... And he also asked me to maybe buy a product to see if there was a keylogger attached to my account... I did and there it was...
SO to everyone of you even the ones that claim tohate me for what I did,..... Hear me out Some websites do in fact do put a keylogger in your system to track you .. luckily for me nothing was comprimised... So I will say Please forget the first quote I did... and learn from what Im telling you now...IT IS NOT WORTH GOING THROUGH 3RD PARTIES.. THEY COULD BE OUT TO DO MORE THAN LEVEL YOUR CHAR AND STEAL YOUR IDENITY..
And so i close this as to say Thank you World of Warcraft for at least catching somehtin i would have never known about..
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE !!!! And enjoy the game the way it is supposed to be played!!
Fair and honest....
Why did you make this post, OP?
You don't want sympathy, you don't want pity party, what do you want?
You break the rules, you pay a price. That's pretty much how life works.
Sue Blizzard. I dont remember signing up for anything when I bought WoW and it only after when I purchase the game and subscribe to WoW is I had to agree to the agreement. I dont think you can get your money back after you subscribe to wow and returning the game back to the store because you disagree with the agreement. That is bs because i dont think your on any obligation to do anything after you purchase the game too play WoW. It like buying a house. What if you bought a house, and after the transaction was made, you were told that you were under the Homeowners Association.
Then you descided you wanted to get help, have someone take care of your lawn. However that against the Homeowners Association agreement. So they flag you and say if you keep hiring gardeners to take care of your lawn well kick you from your house. However they really cant to that because you didnt sign any contract to be a member of the Homeowners Associaction and it was after when you bought the house that they said you where under Homeowners Associaation, which means nothing.
Samething goes here, you paid for the game, they give you agreement after you paid for it, which doesnt mean anything. That like purchasing a DvD and you read on the screen that by watching it, you agree that you cant make copies of it (It doesnt say this, just using this as for example) but you do make copies, and not distribute it. The people who add the bs aggrement to the dvd cant do anything if they wanted too because you arent breaking any laws. But if you sign a contract aggreeing to buy house with the homeowner association or DvD that you cant make copies of it or Buy WoW agree to what ever contract they gave you, then you have to follow the contract.
In any case, purchasing an online game and then complaining that they won't let you cheat is just ludicrous. Would you sign up for a golf tournament, and then demand your money back because they won't let Tiger Woods play in your stead? It's a stupid argument, and the OP is stupid for coming here to argue it.
It depends, if you sign up for a golf tournament do you have to sign any type of papers or agreement?!? And if you didnt couldnt you let Tiger Woods have the Golf Tournament Ticket to play and you sponsor him?
Allowing anyone but yourself access your account is breaking a rule according to Blizzard. Hayevery1 is just venting and argueing with anyone who disagrees with his viewpoint.
LoL, your telling if I buy WoW, I cant let my little brothers to play? What if I didnt have enought free time, and I telll one of my brothers that Ill pay him 20 dollars if he level my charactor or farm honor for me, well I get flag?!? You guys consider that cheating?!? I Wrolf on your old code of gaming justice. LOL.

Yes. It is stated in the Terms of Service. Take time to read it, and understand it. Also, get a spellchecker.
So basically your advising people who like to cheat and exploit the game not to play it? Or people who like to harass and use explicatives in general chat every sentence they type?
Not having the general common sense that this was a major bannable offense is no excuse....you got what you deserved. Then to post that you have no common sense, well......just shows you lack in that department apparently.
How about you show me, since you can tell im bad with english. I kind of stop reading when it says blizzard can cancel your account for any reason and dont have to tell you why.
This is actually NOT about you gaining an advantage over other players. Well, at least not onl because of it. The other reason is that you're trading real world currency for in game gain. It's kinda like...um...let me think of a good example...
[quote]Lets say you went out and rent a DVD from Blockbuster or something. You paid Blockbuster some amount of cash (say, $10) to rent it, then you rent this DVD to another person for $15. In return, you gained $5. Of course Blockbuster won't be happy about it.[/quote]
It's same thing here. Paying an subscription fee to Blizzard is like renting DVD from Blockbuster. You don't actually OWN the game, you're simply renting it and it doesn't make it yours. So technically, everything in WoW is OWNED by Blizzard and you have no right to sell or do anything to have a commercial gain. In this case, it is the website that sell service that's having a commercial gain, but you're the one that's assisting it.
This is the same as piracy. It's not only the fault that the one that pirate things to blame, but also the one that actually buy the pirated version.
Your not making any sense.
So I pay subscription fee = renting DvD from blockbuster, got ya. Rent DvD to other for $15 dollars = buy service from WoW, dont got you. First off I dont think rent dvd for 10 dollars then rent to others for $15 dollars is against the law. You might look at the person rent the dvd for $15 as a dummy, but if he loses it, who responsible for the dvd to blockbuster, you are. But still that doesnt = to buying service for WoW. However I you can compare that to rent a place. Say u have 3 bedrooms and your rent is 200 dollars. Then you rent the other rooms for 400 dollars, is that against the law?!?
WoW, how does this = piracy now? Piracy deals with the unauthorized reproduction or use of a copyrighted book, recording, television program, patented invention, trademarked product, etc. The point above isnt piracy, because that DVD authorize to be disrubted. It when you make copies of that copy right material and disrubted to other who dont have that copy right material.
