WoW guild bank ninga gets owned!

This is a post that was made recently in the customer support forums. We've all been victims of hackers at some stage or another, or at least had a friend or guild member fall victim. It's great to see Blizzard taking a stand in not letting these guys get away with it. Even simple things, like ripping off a guild bank, which isn't necessarily hacking but abusing privileges given in game, should be dealt with. People who do this type of thing spoil the gaming experience which is WoW. I got a giggle out of reading this reply from Blizzard to this unhappy camper who ripped off his old guild:

Part 1:
I’m sorry for confusion, however my records show that you currently have Expert Riding (Skill 225), Wakeandbaké, but do not currently have Artisan Riding (Skill 300). If you desire to ride an epic mount, you are going to need to purchase epic flying to do so.

Q u o t e:Wakeandbaké the Ninja:
like no error pops up it njust wont let me buy epic flyers and i cant use the ones in my bank not my carpet or drake or gryphon as u can see on my armory i got exalted reps that requir it and i dont have it when i go tot he vendor it says i gtta buy it i dont understand why


Part 2
Wakeandbaké , do you remember the guild you were previously in by any chance? It was roughly a month ago, and appears you went by a different name in those days. Well, according to my records you were found guilty of looting a substantial amount of their Guild Bank and taking off. This was then reported, and the situation looked into.

The findings of that investigation were that you were to repay the items due to your previous guild – unfortunately for you, the sum of the amount taken was no longer in your possession, so we were left to find another way for reclamation. In the e-mail that was sent to you on 6-26 you should see that 2,500 Gold, Cold Weather Flying and Riding 300 (Epic Flying) were stripped from your character. This was found to be the exact sum equal to that which was taken from your previous guild.

All in all, you are going to need to get in touch with our Account Administration department, Wakeandbaké. They can be reached by way of e-mail at wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com or by filling out their webform, which can be found here: (http://us.blizzard.com/support/webform.xml?locale=en_US).

It's good to see this brought out in the open. It brings me great joy to watch people like this get owned. Stealing from a guild bank that you were entrusted to have access to is the lowest of lows.
