    You could create a new battle.net account to transfer your characters to. Sure thats costly but you'd still have all your toons and on a nice new account without any previous bans.

    I'm assuming that since its only happening to one battle.net account then it cant be addons or programs running on your computer, that account must be flagged as one to watch. Was the original ban for something or was it a mistake as well?

    The problem with that is that Blizzard made all exclusive mounts to be bound to battle.net account and no longer character bound. So if i move to another battle.net account i lose all my mounts etc, sadly.

    It was the same, accused me for selling gold for real money. Third time now it happends in last month, each time they lifted the ban after having me running rampage at them, lol

    I think if you move the actual wow account over, not just 1 character, the mounts xfer over.

    Would like confirmation on this...

    That's a no, it's bound to battle.net account, not WoW account.
    I have the same mounts on WoW 2,3,4,5 etc. as i do on WoW1. At least that's what they told me on customer support.
    They also said that originally it was bound to both character and battle.net account, but this was used for exploitive behavior and they were forced to remove the bound to character part..

    I guess too many people had a friend / paid someone to move their character to their account, logged on, benefit from all achievements and mounts, moved the character back..

    If you move a character from one account to another, all of the achievements, mounts, and pets stay with the character - who then shares them with every character on the new account.

    False, did a transfer and this is in fact not the case, rather what i wrote earlier in this thread remains true.

    You could simply consider a battle.net account as a character where you earned all achievements, titles and mounts.
    If you move within this battle.net account, i.e moving a character from WoW1 at Bob@bob.com to WoW2 at BoB@bob.com you keep your achievements, mounts and titles.
    If you however, move a character from WoW1 at Bob@bob.com to WoW2 at Kim@kim.com then you will not have any related achievements, mounts nor titles, not even if it was originally earned on that specific character.

    In short, consider your battle.net account as 1 character that earned the stuff, it stays to that battle.net account.

    This was also what Blizzard customer support informed me. Originally you could move characters that earned achievements to other battle.net accounts and they would then earn all that characters stuff, but this was being used for exploits where friends had friends moving back and fourth earning massive amount of achievements, titles and mounts they never really got.


    Hello,

    Thank you for the phone call today, it was a pleasure to talk to you.

    As you now know, the Battlenet is the one that has the mounts and achievements added to it, not the characters.

    So if you move away from the battlenet, you will not take the mounts and titles with you any more. You can move from World of Warcraft account to World of Warcraft account on the same battlenet with no problem though.

    Hope that makese sense to you. If you have any other issues you feel we can help you with, feel free to ask for our help and have an AWESOME game

    Kind regards,

    This is exactly what was happening, but some people who transferred stuff around early enough in the expansion got to take advantage of the bug/feature/exploit (however you want to look at it).

    Btw ontopic here, called account support earlier and spoke to a really nice person who, luckily enough also work as a gm on account security normally.

    Told me the reason i was banned last time was that i withdrew 700 gold from my guildbank(!).
    He also told me that this was most likely because the accounts are only a couple of months old and that the system is A LOT more picky then, compared to old accounts, which makes sense, i can imagine goldsellers opening a lot of accounts on a regular basis.
    On a good note he also added a note to my account that i am multiboxing and was quite assured, seeing what it says on my account already from the account management that this will not happend again, and spoke to his supervisor, and gave me 4 additional days of gametime!

    All in all, a good day!
