Blizzard recently announced that they closed 105 000 WoW account and removed 12 000 000 gold from the game just during the month of November. The affected accounts were in USA, Europe and Korea.

The 12 million gold isn’t really that much… Considering there are 7-8 million WoW accounts, that’s like 1.5 gold per account. Nevertheless, some gold buyers won’t be doing that again.

As for the closed accounts, 105 000 seems like a pretty significant number during one month. Let’s say 10% (yes, it may be that much, or even more) are cheating in WoW, then there are 800 000 that should be banned from the game. Banning 105 000 of those in one single month is actually GJ Blizzard!

This shows that there’s a huge risk involved in cheating. I’d hate to have an account with even 1 level 60 banned. Imagine the pain to restore that, by purchasing a new account and start leveling again etc. 

You can rest assured that the guides featured on this site don’t advocate exploits or cheats and everything is within the game mechanics, so you don’t risk getting banned.
