You do realise that Bittrex has frozen over 1000 accounts in the last few days.
People with fully verified accounts can no longer access funds, people with legacy accounts have had withdrawal limits reduced from 1337BTC a day to 3BTC
So yes Bittrex are causing harm as altcoin prices slide and people cannot sell when they want to.
I am well aware of what's going on, but what exactly has this to do with OP? OP doesn't have a verified account, and thus has landed himself into a rather unnecessary annoying situation. Bittrex as it is doesn't allow anyone freshly signing up to withdraw funds without verification. It clearly shows that you have to bump your account verification to at least the basic level in order to be able to withdraw funds, which is 3 BTC worth of whatever crypto currency per day. In this case I still stand by my words -- Bittrex didn't do this user any harm.
