Okey so, i was banned just a week ago and figured after laying low for 7 days i would try again. Setted up the bot and viewed it for 20minutes until i got a DC. I knew i was banned. The mail i got from them they didnt even state which character was involved. So, to the real question even though it's "only" 72 hours. Would it be possible to get the ban appealed seeing as im an active raider and really, im not sure they even have evidence for the ban. 1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account? GB2 2)If so, when was the last time?: Had just started it, gathering in twilight highlands. 3)What profile were you using?: 1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account? HB+GB2 so I guess both. 2)If so, when was the last time?: Today, several hours ago. 3)What profile were you using?: w00tsTwilightHiglandsMining091811 4)What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname: Default - DK 5)What plugins are you using?: None 6)How many hours per day did you bot for?: 6-7h 6.5)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot? set to respond, only to warn of whispers) around 50% (botted during night) 7)How many auctions per day did you have?: 30-40, Sold like 100 stacks to a guy through mail though. 8)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods? Nope 9)Was your account involved in gold selling? Yes. 10)EU or US realm? EU. This is what I got: World of Warcraft -- Account suspended(72h) -- Type of Violation: Exploitation Category of Violation: Third Party Program "While we regret to take this type of action, we have determined it to be in the best interests of the World of Warcraft community as a whole, and for the integrity of the game. Please note that should any further violations of our Rules and Policies occur, this incident will be taken into consideration when determining the consequences for your account. This could include further warnings, account suspension or account termination."
Well, this ban might have been just because of the trading of in-game property with real currency.. Anyways, I wouldn't suggest denying botting, 72 hours are better than further investigating and most likely end up at the same 72 hours or more..
read next time before you post coz its says Type of Violation: Exploitation Category of Violation: Third Party Program nothing to do with gold! they have detect some logic of HB and they have start banning ppl!
boom 2 more acc's got banned! both on different server but using skinning profiles! 1 was farming rugged leathers for lvling LW and the other was farming Savage Leather at Deepholme with private profile.... 3 more acc's farming honor at BG's with no problem! 1 of them are on the same Bnet with teh one that got banned while skinning!
I can clearly see that. But still, it might have been the reason for the ban. I was caught botting mithril.. Ended up with this mail: "This account was closed because one or more characters were identified exchanging, or contributing to the exchange of, in-game property (items or gold) for "real-world" currency. This exchange process negatively impacts the World of Warcraft game environment by detracting from the value of the in-game economy."
Did You disconnected those 3 BG accounts immiedietly after other were banned, or still running them ?
Well i tried appealing it, they pretty much said "case closed" since they had evidence. Just thought i put it out here for those trying to appeal their 72 hour suspension!
