Good <3
Creating an account just to spam ads is probably considered a form of Ignore and eventually Silence evasion. People can't even escape this garbage with the ignore feature because these &*!@heads make so many accounts, and that means even silences for advertising where it's not allowed can't stem it either. Good on them to move forward to keep on top of it.When you push this hard to destroy a community, oversight is eventually forced to ban ad hoc just to keep up with it. I don't buy excuses that it's not perfectly laid out in the TOS and that means it's wrong he was banned at all. If you have more than two brain cells to rub together, it should be implicit that evading rules that already exist is rulebreaking in of itself.
i don't care how much gold these people lose. trying to find legitimate groups during some hours is nigh impossible because of the sheer amount of WTS spammers in both trade and the group finder
Should've just ban all their other accounts.

I remember when buying carries was unheard of and liable to make you a laughingstock. I miss those days.I would go as far as to say that gold carries are gutting real groups and making players lazier and lazier, because why knuckle down and go through the effort of pushing content yourself if you can just pay someone to do it for you at a later date? The population in this game is perfectly healthy but somehow LFG is not. Not hard to see where the discrepancy comes from.
If people don't think stuff like this affects them, you clearly didn't get people in your keys that have a huge raider.io score but don't know mechanics of the fights.Boosting is a cancer to the game.If you ever wondered how people from Azralon/Ragnaros servers were so bad yet so geared?You got your answer.Also, don't fool yourselves by thinking there is no real money involved in any of the process, if you think the buyers all get their gold via wow tokens, you're fools.
All these posts about "but but the rule wasn't announced" are symptomatic of the problem - dancing around the rules. Per their ToS, Blizzard can ban you at any time for any (or no) reason. Racketeering on the edge of of a very clearly established line (RMT) comes with risks, and no amount of dishonest word lawyering is going to get you out of it.Don't want to get banned? Don't engage in questionable activities.
If you have an entire account dedicated to nothing but selling runs, you absolutely deserve to be banned. It's about time Blizzard started doing something about.
Good, screw that guy and his spam network.
It currently does NOT have any hold considering there is nothing in the Policy actually saying that. Its only GM's saying that.
Now if only they put in the effort to curb bots with on the spot bans... they've completely gotten out of hand since the Multiboxing change!
Ty Blizz..Now go get the druid bots, like asmondgold streamed about.
