- Blizzard closed my account and said I exploited something???

I don't see why mmorpg companies have a problem with gold buying because it's not like you're generating cash from nowhere, it's not breaking the economy because it already exists in the game, if they made money making more fun then people wouldn't buy it.
It totally screws up the economy in-game. Items that should realistically be priced at a couple hundred gold end up costing thousands. Sellers rely on people to want their stuff bad enough to go to the gold farmers and purchase more money in-game than they are normally able to obtain.
Add to that the fact that someone in the real world is literally making thousands of dollars a month (or week!) by playing the game, and the makers get pretty ticked off.

Access to this account has been permanently disabled for exploitation of the World of Warcraft economy or for being associated to accounts which have been closed for intended exploitation. While we try to be as lenient as possible in our assessments of the results of exploitation investigations, exploitative endeavors on your accounts have ultimately lead to their closure. The recurring subscription on the account has been disabled to prevent further charges.
I am a very casual player and would not know how to exploit anything in WOW. I dont inderstand how I could have been shut off I have barely even touched the game for weeks.
You got canned for buying gold online and getting caught, whether they saw you directly or logged your trade with a gold farmer's account is not apparent in the letter. Either way, game over.
