It's funny they banned only one of two accounts and I think I know why. One account mines 24/7 and deposits directly to guild bank. The account that was banned was using the mail system and CODing to others. I was bringing in like 14k a day. It was also running 24/7 -- ***Notice of Account Closure*** Account Name: **** Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs ("Hacks") This account was closed because one or more characters were identified using an unauthorized cheat program, also known as a "hack." These programs provide character benefits normally not achievable in the World of Warcraft. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries. Use of these unauthorized programs harms the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and supersede the intended limits of the game. Even if this is the result of account sharing, the account owner can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment. We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/services/anti-gold/ The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at http://us.blizzard.com/company/legal/index.html. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure. If you believe your account was compromised, please go to the following website https://us.battle.net/account/support/account-recovery.html. Our support staff will assist you as soon as possible. If you are unable to access your account due to the password being changed, please visit our Login Support site here: https://us.battle.net/account/support/password-reset.html For any disputes of this action or further information on exploitive activity, please visit the Account Administration Overview and contact page here: http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/300515 Regards, Customer Services Blizzard Entertainment http://us.battle.net/wow/en/
I just got the same exact ban... is there any way to get this reversed!? You say, "The account that was banned was using the mail system and CODing to others." How do you know this is why it was banned? Why would this be the reason????? I was banned while using profession buddy though, just finished milling all my herbs and making inks/shoulder enchants, then logged onto my JC to start prospecting then BAM!
I'm wondering the same thing. I lost an account I botted on very seldom last night and it was an automatic closure. No suspension, warning, nothing. I've lost plenty of accounts to what not to do (no excessive auctions, botting for long periods, etc) i spread out my auctions between 3 characters, deposit everything into a guild bank, do lfr, talk in chat, etc. I've had friends in different states/countries log in my accounts, I bot on a pc and laptop and change it up, etc. I'm getting really tired of opening new accounts, I have 2 spares left and if I lose them I think I may be done. The profit I'm making for how little the account stays active just isn't worth it.
One of my accounts was banned also. 1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account? GatherBuddy 2)If so, when was the last time?: Right during the ban 3)What profile were you using?: Pandaria Megaroute(nate8282) 4)What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname: Ret Pally 5)What plugins are you using?: Basic Ones that came 6)How many hours per day did you bot for?: 8-12 6.5)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot? 80% 7)How many auctions per day did you have?: 0 8)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods? Just Honnorbuddy 9)Was your account involved in gold selling? No 10)EU or US realm? US Burning Leagion 11)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account? Paid
Also Gold Prices has got up. Meaning they are finding more way to ban people limiting the market on Gold.
