Got this mail: ***NOTICE OF LICENCE TERMINATION*** Account: WOW1 Offense: Use of Bots or Third-Party Automation Software Blizzard Entertainment has terminated this World of Warcraft license after identifying the usage of bots or other cheat software. These programs (commonly called cheats, bots, and hacks) automate certain aspects of gameplay, or provide unintended advantages and abilities to the player. This type of cheating undermines other players' experience and severely upsets the balance of the game environment. Blizzard Entertainment reserves the right to terminate access for conduct of this nature, with or without warning, as noted in the World of Warcraft Terms of Use: Blizzard Entertainment:World of Warcraft Terms of Use This page contains details on how suspensions are appealed and reviewed: http://www.battle.net/support/article/6741 Regards, Blizzard Entertainment --------- How do you see the chances to get a 72h suspension instead, or atleast getting it lifted because I was 'hacked'?
do not use the hacked excuse becasue they look at IP's and will say you werent hacked.. just say you didn't do anything and that you love to play the game
This is the latest response from Customer Support: Your account was suspended for 72 hours due to use of third party programs, which is against the Terms of Use: Blizzard Entertainment: World of Warcraft Terms of Use When running, the World of Warcraft client may monitor your computer's random access memory (ram) and/or cpu processes for unauthorized third party programs running concurrently with World of Warcraft. An unauthorized third party program as used herein shall be defined as any third party software, including without limitation any addon or mod, that in Blizzard Entertainment's sole determination: I. enables or facilitates cheating of any type; II. allows users to modify or hack the World of Warcraft interface, environment, and/or experience in any way not expressly authorized by Blizzard Entertainment; or III. intercepts, mines, or otherwise collects information from or through World of Warcraft. In the event that World of Warcraft detects an unauthorized third party program, Blizzard may a) communicate information back to blizzard entertainment, including without limitation your account name, details about the unauthorized third party program detected, and the time and date the unauthorized third party program was detected; and/or b) exercise any or all of its rights under section 6 of this agreement, with or without prior notice to the user.

Regards, The Customer Support Team Blizzard Entertainment ------------ Ehm they reversed it to a 72hr ban instead? Or was it only 72hr in the first place? It is from the mail I got from them after appealing
You were banned because a player reported you, because singular is incredibly obvious in battlegrounds. Like BUGGY and blatantly obvious that you're botting. You cannot appeal a ban saying you were hacked as they will compare the logs with you IP and it's a slam dunk. You should have used a custom combat class.. this is 'lazy botting'.
That is 100% not true. There is no evidence whatsoever to support your position that a Custom Class would have prevented a ban instead of Singular. Perhaps if you took up the position that "botting in Battlegrounds is not very safe", then maybe I could have taken you seriously. You can appeal any ban for whatever reason. I have had numerous bans on many accounts for 'hacks', and I have won appeals for some of them using 'I was hacked' as the reason. Don't spread false information. Cheers, XtO
It is 'lazy reading', as I wrote "PRIVATE HALLS OF LIGHTNING PROFILE" never used BGbuddy, so how should I be banned for that?
Also, appealed, and got a second mail which I copied above stated I was banned for 72hr, I just dont get why they didnt say that in the first mail
Instance botting is very dangerous, private profile or not. There are simply too many mass Scroll of Resurrection accounts that are involved in it. XtO
