So after a plea of humanity to Blizzard, I received a 72 hour suspension and a final warning. I will not be botting any longer so thank you so much to the community for all the help I received over the last couple years and all the great scripts!
Just do it smart, and with caution - and do NOT bot on account, you dont wanna loose, aka Main one! With the shared achievments and mounts/pets battlenet account wide, you could bot all the vanity stuff - Achievs/Mounts/Pets with secondary wow licenses in your battlenet, so you will have them on ur main!
How did you manage to get the ban over turned? I got a perma ban for botting.... This was my first ever offence I had never received any warning or bans before this I appealed the ban and they turned me away told me that they would not be removing the ban , If you have any idea what you said to them to make them change their mind and give u a 72 hour ban please let me know Thanks
You just open a ticket and very clearly/calmly explain that you have never botted etc etc. That works 99% of the time for auto bans (player reports,to many auctions etc), but if you got caught by a GM then you're SOL and kiss that account good by. Just keep trying to appeal the ban until they give you a final notice saying they WILL NOT remove the ban and to stop making tickets.
So I can add multiple licenses to my account ,and if one gets banned they wont ban my entire account? "I'd like to appeal my ban and discuss the ability to obtain a suspension/probation as I was never given any kind of warning or previous suspension. I feel that I deserve a second chance as I have paid a lot of money for this game, and all the time I've spent on it. Please let me know if this is possible, or if I have any other options." That is my ticket exactly.
First off, When you get banned. ALL your Wow accounts get banned. They might not do it immediately for whatever reason like not noticing the second one etc, but they WILL all get banned. Period. On your submitted ticket to appeal your ban, I would have gone more along the lines of "I never botted etc". You're pretty much admitting guilt and asking for a second chance. I would have just done the "Not Guilty Card" and it works 99% of the time unless it's rather 1) You got caught by a GM. or 2) It wasn't your first offense in which case you deserve to be perm banned for your ignorance. 100-200 auctions a day and botting for 8+ hours a day is kind of asking for a ban. Regardless of the outcome, take this as a serious lesson learned and bot smarter next time. Open a second account for botting if you're going to bot that much.
I just feel like I hear people botting much more than I did, and not to mention I dont really feel like 200 actions a day is very much considering most were trillium bars and living steal which I was selling in stacks of 1. But I guess I was wrong
Its not the auction house i think. Its that you have gotten reported alot of times, so i dont think you should worry about the 200 auctions
As this was asked many times... No, they only ban license (WoW account) on the battle.net account that has done "anything bad".
inaccurate. have 5 accounts attached to my wow account. one was banned in 2010 and one in 2011. my main accounts always been on the same bnet account as those 2. never even had a warning.
