This is actually the first time I've been banned for botting in over four years. It happen after running GatherBuddy2 for about three hours on a custom profile. I've always been a heavy multiboxer with my accounts, and I thought I may be able to use that in defense. So, I opened a ticket to Blizzard with this: Of course at the time of 'disconnection' I was actually botting, and not multiboxing. And of course when submitting the ticket I was acting as if I had no idea what happen while trying to pretend that I believed that it was multiboxing that caused the ban. Shortly after submitting my ticket, they responded with this: (a lot of generic 'Blizzard response' text was removed for your convenience) I continued (at this point) to inforce the fact that they had made a mistake. So I responded with this: A new representative responded with more 'lightly' text.
just to help u be careful they repealed the ban but ur ban is still stored next ban = perm ! i had the experience 2x til now. same procedure
