      Dear Sir or ******** game in this company is: World of Warcraft Blizzard Account:**************** Recently, my gaming account was banned by **********************. I have not done anything wrong, citing the misuse of gaming mechanisms. I spent a lot of money on my account, spending $300 to purchase gaming services. Blizzard banned my account without any reason, which was a mistake. Blizzard should treat every consumer correctly. Virtual property also belongs to personal property. I haven't committed any violations, why did I receive a prohibited punishment. Please provide evidence from Blizzard, I don't want robots to reply. Blizzard always doesn't care about consumers, and they don't solve this problem. Both robots respond to consumers. Please quickly get my account ***********.

      Dear Sir or Madam.My game in this company is: World of Warcraft Blizzard Account:**************** Recently, my account was banned by **********************. Because I have just arrived at the global server, I am not very familiar with the game rules here. There may have been some confirmed violations of the rules, but I didn't mean to. Because I don't understand the rules here either. I didn't break the game environment, I just used an automatic jump software. I think everyone in the game is using this software. So I used it too. He cannot affect the game. It is to prevent disconnection and prevent the battlefield from being kicked out. I'm going to fight on the battlefield. All robots. Should I be a girl to deal with dozens of robots? I think Blizzard's punishment is unreasonable. Consumers should not be treated in this way. It was Blizzard's game that had a problem with its own environment. We cannot shift the responsibility onto consumers. If Blizzard manages the gaming environment well. Will we still use this software? Am I spending money to buy this game to play with robots? Please carefully consider and hope to restore my account usage
