The ah account that sells the mats is fine no ban
I think you may have missed one deciding factor you could have done nothing wrong it may be as simple as a player report, that's what it seems like to me anyway
Well, they could have investigated further and found other accounts (they were on the same IP weren't they)? I have also lost 5 Battlechest accounts yesterday and also on US server. They barely lasted a week... no much profit as well, ban came when they were offline - i've received e-mails about password reset and few minutes later message about account termination.
It's also possible that your toons tripped the LCP detection thingy on Blizz's end and it's a simple over-gathering ban. If it's the first ban you've had on all of the accounts (I'm guessing so because they're all new), you should easily be able to get the accounts back. You should look into profile randomizers so you're not running the same profile over and over, which is what trips the trigger on the auto ban. Then again, this might be what Stove does.. I'm not familiar with it.
M_M, there is nothing but a conspiracy theory for this LCP detection, please no! Regarding the bans, you have made some small but crucial mistakes here. Never use GB2 for 4 hours straight without single brake, never! You are "earning" a big red flag serverside. Better bot for 1 or 2 hours, and do shorter and frequent brakes! Then implement randomization! A GM once told a human farmer, after removing his suspension, to simply run a single dungeon after his gathering time, to avoid being false-positive flagged as gather bot. That explains alot! Just a single example - I still run a loosy rogue for PP with single profile in the last 3 months, with exactly 12/5 uptime. (Turning off 1 day before/after maintanance) And I just let it PP for 2 hours, then 1hour LFR + 1 hour offline for brake, all these in an infinite loop ... till I get like 10k gold then stop for cashing out then turn on again.
