Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’m posting this on behalf of a RL friend and guildie who has been permanently banned.

Account name: Bunster.7053
Incident: 121219-000434
Submitted: 12/18/2012 09:39 PM

The account has been suspected for transacting in gold for RL money. This has not been the case. The account user has only bought gems from Arenanet. Exchanged said gems for gold on the Trading Post and emailed said gold to only one other person and that is me, Kombu.4952, as a birthday present. My birthday actually falls on the day before the above ticket was submitted. Proof can be submitted upon request. If this is grounds for a ban, it’s an honest mistake. Do kindly let us know the reason for the ban though, just so we (and the rest of our guild) know not to repeat what, in our opinion, is an act of gifting.

I, Kombu.4952, still have the gold I received for my birthday from Bunster.7053. I can always mail him back the gold if that is what it takes to get his account reinstated. Kindly advice.

Thank you for your kind attention.

EDIT. My guildie has been reinstated. Thank you Anet for working through the holidays.

To whom who knows the answer. If I purchased gems at the TP, then exchanged the gems for gold at the TP, then mail my RL friend the gold as a present (i.e. Christmas or birthday). This is ground for a ban?
