Don't forget them trying not to act suspicious by awkwardly pretending to kiss in a dark alley while exchanging the packages, with one cursing 'No tongue!' and the other ignoring that instruction vigorously...Commander Jack Rankin said:

WOW! That's fantastic! I was going to post something like this, but this is just too good to try to beat.thethingthatlurks said:
Actually, Blizzard should have gotten some employee do this, get the cash, and not unban him. Hey, easy $1000.
So.. during a banhammering of archaeology bots... you got banned. But you dont think its deserved because... gold farm/sell? but used an archaeology bot?
Hi. I'd like to introduce to you a concept called cause and effect. You used a bot. Cause. You got banned. EFFECT.
END. OF. STORY.
What is this warped sense of entitlement that people have that makes them do this? "Oh but I'm special and thus should be exempt from this. I didnt gold sell blah de blah de blah."
Am I the only person that thinks Blizzard should seriously capitalize on this?
Let me put it this way... Reset his Archeology. Let the kid pay x ammount of dollars, put him on probation.
Tons of WoW accounts get banned for stupid reasons, some of which cannot be over-turned. And Im willing to bet a hefty ammount of people would be willing to pay the money to over-turn their bans. Thats just more money for Blizzard.
A formal petition would be more acceptable than, say, envolope in a tree. But yeah...

You know what, it sounds like a guy who put a lot of effort into completion, and since he has to pee sometime, he botted the worst secondary. All the sudden, BANhammer and all his hard work is down the tube. When you invest SO much time into an online identity, paying 1000 bucks to get it back may seem like a good idea.
Especially since there aren't very many fun MMORPGs out there anyway, since WoW kills them all.
As far as botting goes, I don't condone it, but I know a lot of players might be tempted and a permaban really sucks.

It isn't a real dropoff unless you're meeting with a smoking man in a very poorly lit parking garage.FortheLegion said:
OT: I'd take the money and use it to buy him a new account, then point out the place in the contract where it says that I had to procure *A* account. What is he going to do, sue?
Hello new forehead shaped dent in my desk.. I almost wish blizzard would dignify this with a response just to see what they have to say.
They should take the money and throw a pizza party for all employees! Hell, if he wants to spend $1000 to get his account back, why object?mew4ever23 said:
"Waaaaah, it wasn't my fault that I got banned! It's your fault for making a boring activity in your game! What was I supposed to do, actually put in the effort if I wanted the reward? QQ"
Get out of my face.
I don't necessarily agree that enough accounts get banned unfairly to warrant a petition, too. Sure, some accounts get banned unfairly, but Blizzard doesn't really hand bans out like candy. You usually get several suspensions for minor offenses before they're inclined to pull out the hammer.

I think Blizzard is in a good enough position financially that 1000 is pocket change, and they can afford to say "You know what, you've broken our trust, and we don't want you to play our game anymore."Uber Waddles said:

Okay okay wait, just to make sure, are you defending his actions?Galliam said:

But this especially baffles me. If it's worth that much to him, why did he do something banworthy in the first place?
