Bought from alotofgold and not banned yet. If you bought after the 24th update last month ban seems to be happening.

After buying gold from g2g via AH. No bans. 1 day has passed.

I didn’t buy a crazy amount of gold - just 20k to buy engravings.

Hmm not sure what it could be then, I bought gold everyday from the 24th patch till now and I'm fine

I am a bit confused today.

Background Info:
- Two mule accounts
- I didn't use a VPN when creating, leveling, or during the transactions
- Both Steam accounts are old (7+ years) and are trusted

Seller Info:
- Gold was purchased from PA
- Seller was reputable but not one of the biggest sellers

Purchases:
- 30k gold on each mule (60k gold total) ; Cost roughly $90 per order ($180 total)

Transaction Info:
- AH in chunks (my request to make it look more natural)

Result:
- 1 mule banned
- 1 mule safe so far

Time Period:
- Banned 2 days after receiving gold

Note: I purchased gold on my main last month but got spooked from all the threads so I did this to test, and be a bit safer. Main was not affected at all.

What do you mean did I buy crystals? Did I buy Royal Crystals with RL money or Blue Crystals with the gold I bought?

Hi mochi should I make 2 mule accounts and buy gold from them and transfer gold to my main via mail or AH got banned on main and don’t want a ban again LOL

I think either way would be fine after your mule is in the clear. I haven't tested that part yet but I will probably go with mail since it's easier.

Did you go with mail or AH when you got the gold on your main (That resulted in a ban)?

Hopefully, your ban was only 3/7 days and not perma.

Sorry what I mean is

1. Did your main account - bought white crystals via STEAM payment ( non-gold )
2. Did your mule account do this too?

The reason for the ask is: I want to know the difference between your mule account and your main account. So I am starting with the question : "Did you buy white crystals via your main account"

Yea, my main account bought royal crystals. My mules did not.

As the comment above stated, pick a decent seller and you're good to go.

Good to know

My main, who bought gold, did not get banned.
My main has also bought items from the shop, including the crystaline aura effect.

I'm surprised that it took that long to get a ban and that it was straight to perma since I've mostly heard about 3/7 day bans but not many perma unless it was a crazy amount of gold (i.e., 1m+). Also, how long ago did you buy on your main?

Ive bought 3million+ worth of gold since launch - No ban ever, my seller is on a personal level though its not via a website thats maybe why, its high quality gold. Im 1460 with a +20 weapon and never been touched by any type of ban.
