Blizzard /ActivisionBlizzard / World Of Warcraft / Game Master CerrivainBlizzard /ripped me off, ruined my reputation and humiliated me. Irvine California

Please don't take this the wrong way, but here is where you made your major mistake:

(quote from your posting)
"I ask for the post on forums to be removed and for an apology to be posted for the harm to my reputation, in exchange of what I will give her item."

You made a deal with this person to create an item for them. They gave you the materials, you had trouble producing the item (unstandable). But then making a bad situation worse; you failed to deliver the item and instead tried to alter the deal (by demanding the person do something on the forums before you would give them the item).

It wasn't very nice of them to make that forum posting about you, but you should have treated this as a seperate issue by requesting that blizzard remove it.

Ultimately they provided the goods, but you didn't provided the service requested or refund the goods, which means you are a scammer. Honestly I'm glad Blizzard took disciplinary action against you.

"I will not tolerate getting humiliated like this publicly"

Its not Public Its a video game.

"I was asked to make an item for a player. The player gives me the material and I promptly start working on it. The player has a part of the item wrong (you use items to make other items, she didn't have correct item). She asks me to send what I did so far and I say I will buy the missing item on the Auction House. She agrees."

"She whispers me once but I am in an instance, on a boss, unable to reply. I try to contact her a few times but she's offline"

You accept a contract for making the item from said player, you say your going to buy the missing ingredient, then you go to an instance and leave her there without completing the transaction while still having all her items. Nice.

"Sorry, but I should give her the item AND look like the bad guy"

Yes because it takes at the most of couple of minutes to craft an item. Yet you take off in the middle of the transaction to do run an instance which is approx 30 minutes to an hour plus. Also nowhere is your report does it say said item(s) were returned to said player. A lot of people are scammed in this game, yet you seem to blame her for her actions when you need to step up to the fact that what you did was rude, and if the shoe was on the other foot you would have done the same thing she did.

How can you honestly blame her for thinking you were scamming her? If your characters reputation was any good, one forum post is not going to hurt it, your guides will still trust you, anyone who's been a customer of your in the past, etc


"What if police came to you and put you to jail 48h without explanations or even listening to you?"

Well since said item was most likely not returned to the player, because if you if you did it would have made it into your report because it would strengthen your case if said item was returned an hour later or so. So my thoughts are you held on to the item and said "if you change the post, ill give you the item back" which leads up to your 48 hour suspension. The GM did not have to talk to you chat logs are saved, he read your whole conversation and based his decision on that, and quite correctly if i do say so.

If i have a roofing company and you pay me in full to re-shingle your house, and the next day i don't show up to start the work, i took off on a vacation out of the country for 2 months and you could not reach me, would you not think you were scammed? would you not contacted the police and report the fraud/theft?

the fact is its your own impoliteness that caused this problem, and now you blame everyone except yourself.

A better solution would be to have returned the item, plus a bonus item (since your reputation is seemingly worth a lot to you) asap and forget about the post on the forum, it was most likely buried off the first page of the forum in an hour

As a long time player of World of Warcraft I find this story highly suspicious. I have never heard of the in-game CSR's taking action against any player for in-game fraud. Blizzard's policy concerning player to player transactions is carpe diem.

The only actions warranting account suspension or banning are...selling in-game items or cash for real world money, cheating, exploiting, or flagrant harassment of another player.

It's true that Blizzard is tight lipped about specific punishments handed out. However I find it very unlikely that a player was suspended for scamming another in game regardless of what kind of proof was offered.

Beens you didn't really explain I will try and get they jest of what you are saying. You are asked to make something for someone. They gave you the mats, and you say they are missing one. You say you will buy it off the AH, and make it for them anyways. Then you head to an instance? They get mad that you lied to them. They threaten you, you submit a gm ticket, they find you at fault, and your angry?

You where the one that submitted the ticket. You did break the agreement. You where asked to make something, you agreed, then you took off. I would be mad too.

Also how do you know that nothing happened to this other person? Blizzard will not tell you what happens to the other party.

This is not a rip off.

P.S. If I am wrong about the events, please explain it better. Also you can fight it. They send you an email that gives you the chance to respond.
