hi, after years of botting (1-2hrs per day), they banned my MAIN account (72h , FINAL) so i decided to create another account only to "experiment" blizzard ban and their replies to complaining; this is result ( it became funny @ 4th post ): ME: Code: [COLOR="#000000"]Hi, i left my account some days ago with 2 characters and this morning i wasn't able to login. I did the password recovery and now I can see my account BUT IS BANNED! What is happening ?!?!?! I want my account BACK! Thanks. G L[/COLOR] BLIZZ: Code: [COLOR="#008080"]Greetings, Your account was suspended due to use of third party programs, which is against the Terms of Use (http://eu.blizzard.com/en-gb/company/about/termsofuse.html), the relevant part of which can be found in this article: http://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/hacks-and-third-party-programs The use of such programs or files is clearly unfair to the World of Warcraft community playing regularly and is not tolerated on our servers.

I pay the game, so I pay the customer service, so I pay someone who presses ALL keys on keyboard and not only "CTRL-C" CTRL-V". Making my "investigations" (my privacy and security can't tell you that i am using google) I can read this is a standard answer you give at EVERYBODY. Please be more HUMAN and less "third party program". Thanks. G L[/COLOR] Code: [COLOR="#008080"]Greetings, we can see that the account that you claimed you did not loggin to was active continously for the last 2 days before the suspension and all from your IP. That suspension is not directed against you but the account which we witnessed for bot using. And in regards to the "payment arguement": You pay for using our servers, nothing more, nothing less. You do not pay cusmtomer service, you do not pay to get a different answer than anyone else we witnessed botting. The sanctions for bottings are always the same, please note that if we find this account to be botted again this account will be closed permanently. Sincerely, Game Master Cromminidus Customer Services Blizzard Entertainment battle.net/support[/COLOR] Code: [COLOR="#000000"]Finally handmade reply. Are you basing the ban on IP ?!?! this is a public ip which serves over 1 thousand of PC in europe... I gave up, i can only think my account have been hacked. Thanks. G L[/COLOR] Code: [COLOR="#008080"]Greetings Your account was not hacked and we do not base our suspensions on IPs, it's just a part of the investigation. Rest assured the investigation was done correctly and there will be no change to the strike. You will be able to play again after 72 hours of the suspension.

nice one, thanks for sharing. Just 2 days thing is not clear to me. You say you did not logged in for 2 days in your ticket and GM says you did? Whats real story behind this?
You don't understand I think. He was botting on a brand new account but was telling Blizzard that he hadn't logged on in 2 days. It is still a pretty tell-tale sign there is a detection of some sort. Whether it is bot, profile, or something else.
Yea i asked if he was indeed botting on this new boting account for these two days or not. As its not clear. In my eyes there is absolutely no point to lie them about this. And for sure login history can't be called detection lol, i mean this is probably most basic information they can see straight away.
Christ, this makes me angry seeing how your treating a bliz rep when its a 72h. Go outside and play. If you knew how many emails they had with people lieing... i sure wouldnt hand type a message.
Ok, it seems that only Demise and a few others understood the meaning of it all. I WANTED THEY DETECT THE BOT! I want understand how they can verify the presence of bot; I tried to tell them that my account was hacked and my ip was public, but they are really SURE that the botting was done from my pc. This seems confirming, the blizz full memory scan (WHICH THEY CANT'T DO!). Oh, I forget another important thing: my account was banned @ 2.15AM, their server was closed from 1.00AM to 11.00AM ....
There is more than just an IP they can look at.. im almost positive (not 100% positive) that they do see your MAC address of the NIC card in your computer. They could tell you that they have you by IP logging into that account, but what they could have meant was that its coming from the same HWID the entire time.. Claiming you were hacked is pretty stupid especially if you know that you weren't.. because they know that you weren't.. there are alot of ways to verify a connection is coming from the same computer or not..
anyway i was banned when accont was frozen for 2 weeks who don't belive me this is the life but is REALLY for ''abuse of economy''
