Vial of the Sands Raffle, the ToS and you.

I will be raffling off the [Vial of the Sands] tonight at 5:30pm CST/Server on Sargeras (Alliance). This has been a pretty weird campaign for me. I have been raffling off items for five years. I have never been suspended (until yesterday). This really upset me. I could care less about not being able to log in. However I was upset that the effort I was putting in to try and make my server and community more fun was ruined by two or three people literally spam reporting me for "scamming" and "harassment."

The tickets are 500g, here is a list of current and past recent mount raffle's that I have done: www.tinyurl.com/vialraffle

Here is my OP on the CS forums: Giving away gold and raffling items...wrong? - Forums - World of Warcraft

A server discussion: Your support and honesty would be appreciated - Forums - World of Warcraft

An example of me giving away gold for fun, which is not against the ToS: [A] Giving away 2,000g/day for 7 days. - Forums - World of Warcraft

I guess I won't be advertising raffles anymore. Tread lightly others who do the same. I'm pretty upset for Blizzards stance on this however, I know that I cannot be an exception to the rules.

I really wish Blizzard would spend some time and effort rewarding servers, promoting prizes other than beer steins and t-shirts.
