Washington Post writer gets WoW ban |
Ó
Remember Mike Musgrove? He's the Washington Post writer who paid some people from IGE to do his levelling for him in World of Warcraft. Well, since power-levelling is frowned upon by Blizzard, this new update from Musgrove was to be expected.
In his latest blog post, Musgrove announced that he has been booted from WoW. Just for 72 hours, though. Blizzard sent Musgrove an email informing him of his account's suspension, charging that "the registered user of the account has shared account login information and allowed others to access the account."
Musgrove himself has no idea if the suspension came about because of his write-up or if Blizzard found out about the power-levelling on their own (possibly through the use of high-level incantations and dead livestock). Still, it's good to know that Blizzard is still doing what they can to enforce the terms of use that they've laid down for World of Warcraft players.

All they give for using a powerleveling service is a 72 hour suspension? 3 days?? What's the point of that? That's not going to deter people at all. It should be a permanent ban on the account. Make people feel the loss of the monthly fee, retail purchase, and the cost of using the service. 3 days.. that's pathetic.
No wonder there's so many ad spammers. They probably only get suspensions as well.
