Blizzard won't give me back my money

A couple days ago i bought a 2 month gamecard for my World of Warcraft account & yesterday I got perma banned because of messing around in Trade Chat. And guess what... That 2 month gamecard that is Worth over 30$ is now gone and i wont get any of it refunded. Do you Think this is bad service? I used to Think Blizzard was very supportive and understanding but now I'm not so sure anymore.

Yeah that's pretty bad.

Ok.

That's rip off. I would consider it a crime lol

But there are rules you got to follow. To put it in a different view: you wouldn't call it unfair if you were thrown put of a football game when you would do something inappropriate, right? As you already paid for it.. I guess

I talked with the G2A staff where i bought the gamecard and they told me they will give me a refund! (YES)

Blizzards always had a double standard with customers. People who genuinely cheat don't get banned, and they're great at alienating long standing customers. I'd blame Activision for hat

No. You violated the terms and got banned according to the rules, something you accepted when making your purchase. You are not entitled to a refund.

Whether or not your ban was justified or not is a different matter.

Agreed.

You did something wrong so you got kicked out they don't owe you anything.

The reason Blizzard has a tenuous history with cheaters is because a lot of the times the "cheating" was due to bugged boss encounters

The most famous example is Insidia's world first kill of the Lich King. Long story short using engineering items allowed the raid to ignore a a key mechanic. But Insidia didn't know why this was happening - the engineering items were simply a regular part of the dps rotation. Or at least they claimed so. BlizzArd allowed them to keep their accounts but their world first was taken away and they got a 72h ban.

A different example

There was this guild in vanilla who was deep into Naxx. They only needed loot from Cthun who was the last boss of aq40 - the previois raid tier. Aq40 is enormous and it took forever to clear. The guild didn't want to waste time so they altered the game files and allowed them too fall through the floor to the last boss chamber. They were permanently banned.

They argued it wasn't just because they were capable of clearing the raid they just didn't want to waste the time. But altering game files is pretty bad.

Your case in the other hands is different. Your situation deals with trolling and probably player harassment. Thats much more cut and dry. Its 2016 - mmos don't tolerate that

Hell in FFXIV square enix will ban people who give people shit with dps meters.

I miss playing WoW so much

This.

I didn't accept any contract when i bought the gamecard that said anytihng like that

@taquie: Merely signing up for an account usually includes a list of rules/guidelines to follow.

Oh, entitled youth.

You clicked "yes" on a terms of service contract in order to play.

QFT.

Permabanned for messing around in trade chat?

Hmm... yeah, don't really believe that it was that simple.

This thread is silly, why is it on CV?

@bruxae: agree
