Selling Hacker Farmed Goods

[voyevoda]

I was hacked yesterday, and subsequently had my account restored today after a phone call and a ticket (in no more than 3 hours, nice going Blizz :D

Everything I've seen about it is you can just keep it and sell it. Consider it a bonus for the agony of going through the hack :(

THIS.

I had a friend who's account was hacked. When all was said and done, he found that his mining bag was filled with stacks of titanium ore. He did ask a GM and they told him he was free to do whatever he wanted with it.

Keep and sell it as some small repayment for the frustration and effort you had to go through. I've had friends with similar tales, of hackers levelling their miners to cap and them getting ore which was still on the toon when the hacker was kicked off. I suspect Blizzard lets people keep the goods as some small recompense.

Keep it!

When I was hacked (and multiple personal storage gbanks hacked) they stripped anything that had real value but I had SO MUCH FREAKING GOLD on one of my characters that was obviously meant for transfer. They'd taken it from the others, but that one had it.

That toon also had a bunch of Choppers and Primordial Saronite.

All of my items and gear and old gold were restored, but the extra gold and the choppers were taken away....

But I ended up with some extra stacks of Primordial Saronite.

*_* So much gold. It was lovely.

I rarely, if ever, have above 2000 g so if I can get a bunch from selling this ore? Score! =D

Yeah! If Blizzard doesn't take it away (unless they somehow left you with 100k extra gold or something) you can keep it and do whatever you want!

Echoing the above comments. Consider it a "gift" of sorts.
