      1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account? Gatherbuddy.

      2)If so, when was the last time?: Tonight.

      3)What profile were you using?: My own private profile / Duck's Double-Zone

      4)What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname: Tauren Druid: Mining/Herbalism

      5)What plugins are you using?: DruidGatherHelper.

      6)How many hours per day did you bot for?: 6-12 total but not in one session.

      6.5)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot? I'm watching my bot 80% of the time, watching series/playing other games on second screen.

      7)How many auctions per day did you have?: I used C.O.D only.

      8)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods? No.

      9)Was your account involved in gold selling? No, not yet

      10)EU or US realm? EU.

      11)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account? Scroll of ress, I've had it for about 2 months without any problems though.

      I've been botting for more about 2 years now, both Pirox and Honorbuddy but this is the first time I'm being banned.

      Should I try appeal and act stupid or? (Recently activated SoR-account, been active for 2 months now)
      Playing on 2 different IP's, botting on schoolcomputer and at home, not sure if Blizzard could see this and if I could pretend someone was using my account or not.

      When I was banned, I was taking out 69K from my guildbank to go down to ratchet and trade for 60 day gamecard. You think Blizzard reacted at me withrawing that amount and then sending to my level 1? (Never traded the seller, was banned just before)

      Not that upset but yeah, any help is appreciated. :)

      EDIT: The appeal worked, I'm unbanned. :)

      Server side scripts seem to be targeting SoR, as they've updated the ban template letter with a question on SoR.

      Abuse of economy bans are almost always overturned. I have had 100% of my abuse of economy bans overturned, 0% of my "hacks" bans overturned.

      Agreed with this post. Abuse of economy bans are easy to overturn. Usually Abuse of economy bans are some sort of tripwire you hit and its always automated. Everytime Id call blizz about them the CSR guy would be like "I dont know why you were banned. I dont see anything wrong" and they just unban you..lol

      I thought phone customer support had nothing to do with account bans, or that what they said to me at least twice when I called them.

      The trigger for your ban was the withdraw from bank and trade with chinese guy.

      never trade with china?s :) thats rule number one :)

      he didn't even get to trade the gold to the chinese guy... so this is one really weird ban.
      What I think happened was, the fact you withdrew money from a guild bank might have flagged you as a chinese who is buying the gold from someone.
      Still doesn't make sense to me though. Should be really fucking easy to appeal to be honest.

      Got it back, I won't probably bot anymore on it but I have put my gold in safe place so it's cool. Thanks for giving me some info, this is the first time I got banned.

      Nothing really special is needed to be said in an appeal for Abuse of Economy. The 1 thats hard to overturn is "hacks"

      Glad to hear that duck, i've been banned last week, botting using gatherbuddy and using your profile :D, but that not the case i think. Blizzard banned a lot people that use GB2 i think, because all my acc that banned were banned when they farmed herb and ore. the other one that levelling is safe.

      and this is nonsense, i've sell hundred times to them..never get any problem

      Yeah I've seen more gather-accounts banned this week. Not talking about a banwave but I think leveling is less risky.

      I didn't even get the time to trade him btw, got banned right before. :)
