No 9)Was your account involved in gold selling? No 10)EU or US realm? US 11)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account? Paid Account About a week ago my account kept getting locked "Due to an unusual change in your access pattern" it was locked about 4 times over a period of about an hour and I had to change the password each time. I'll mention this in my appeal and I guess could be the reason for the ban? Also, the fact that I just farm gold on this account my toons have crappy gear. Do you think I get a lot of reports because of this? Will Blizzard auto ban someone for too many player reports? My main account that is still active I don't use GB2 on a regular basis but I have used it to level herbalism within the past two months. I also use an AH profile on this account as well but not as much as the banned account. So far no bans or suspensions on this account and I use HB alot more on this account for grinding rep, hunting rares, farming at sunsong ranch, running raids & dungeons, and leveling by questing.
Auto ban, unlikely. Look closely into your account, definitely. It would actually be more promising if they auto banned you. They are almost always overturned.
