No. 12)EU or US realm? US 13)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account? Paid account. CONTEXT: My MAIN account was banned for ASSOCIATING with my bot accounts... this is a first for me. I have had many bot accounts get banned over the years, but my main account has always been safe. My bot would deposit items in the guild bank, and my main account would do the auctioning. This has been fine for me in the past, I have no idea why my main account gets flagged suddenly. I googled the reason for the ban and got ZERO hits on google: "Terms of Use Violation - Association to Exploitative licenses". Has anyone else ever had this happen? My main account is extremely valuable, seven level 90's (I NEVER bot my main account), and my main is ilvl 570, 9/14H atm, GM of a guild. I'm pretty fucked if I can't get this account back. I tried appealing through their ticket system 3 times so far, no luck. I'm going to call in a few hours and see if I can speak to someone.
just be truthful, and say I never bot on my main account because it is too important, please can you inspect the account and you'll see that I've never botted on this account although I did bot on another account, as per the agreements that I signed the account that wasn't botted on should not be treated as the either connect to or the same as the account that infringed on the agreement.
I tried being truthful twice, no dice. My first ticket: First response: Second ticket: Second response: As you can see, I'm pretty fucked. I submitted a third ticket as a last resort, saying my bnet and email got hacked, no luck w/that either. The first two e-mails were REALLY truthful, I was really hoping that would work.
What do you expect? If someone robs a bank and your are "only" the driver you are still fucked. Same in this case. Only because you didn't directly botted on this account, doesn't protect it in any single way. I would never ever interact with a main account in any other way than some gold trading from time to time. I mean, of course they will see the connection if you sell the botted stuff every day?!
This is your fault that you are being banned. You said you where GUILTY but SORRY. Your excuse should be IDK WTF Your talking about Blizz, I have NEVER Cheated, This is Bullshit Please look into this I'm a Vanilla subscriber.
lol @ "be truthful". never ever worked for anyone lol As for email template - this is new template for old "Account under review", which made no sence since there was no review whatsoever and in this kind of ban they could also purge your guilds and characters across linked accounts. You had to contact gm's after unban to restore your guild/characters back lol. I only was able to restore one account with ban of this kind. Also, this is manual ban. You cant dodge it if ur on same hardware and network. Good thing it happens rarely.
Sorry for you loss, dude. Your mistake was to auction with your main the material gathered by the bot. You should have only handled the gold with your main, but for your sell activity they condemn you in the chain. The imba seller will always fall.
Welcome to the club! Lost a few thousand of $ worth account that way:, Multiple CE, Scarab Lord and tons of titles and mounts against the Association to Exploitative licenses. Wish you a good luck with the appeals, since its one of the hardest bans to fight with, because its always manual, and usually signed with some Senior GM, indeed. I personally gave up after over a year of appeals, mails, unban services, phonecalls etc. The best I could dig about it, was from the phone support, which honestly told me, that she can do nothing about it, but nicely explained me some of the reasons - The licence received tons of mats got by botting, and character from it was GM of a guild (which was indirectly used for goldselling), so thats why it received that curse "Association to Exploitative licenses."
Sweet jesus, they used to never associate non-botted accounts to botted accounts. Now I'm definitely scared
The multiple bans on botted accounts linked to the same bnet account or IP probably flagged your main for investigation. A GM who is versed in using a guild as a front for botting activity and transfer of gold/items probably reviewed the logs, then put two and two together. That really sucks, I'm really sorry to hear it. Did you take any steps to mask the IP of your botting accounts prior to all of this?
I had alot of accounts and ALL got banned too for same reason , MAIN ACCOUNT ( very good one ) + other NEVER BOTED , they not even on same bnet account also they not even on same realm = NEVER transfered gold , mats , ect ...ALL GOT BANNED related to this association , so its quite simple they check ip of the account you botted then they MUST have a search function by ip and they check ALL accounts that had been loged by same IP and simple ban all , keep in mind i NEVER boted and played on other account at SAME time , the thing is if you use account to sell gold to those freaking cheap ass chineses like precious and others you are FUCKED no matter what ...is just a matter of time. They are using new detection systems by sure and im quite sure there are way less automated bans and more manual bans and those are bye bye account for sure , you can say you can give them 1000 excuses but belive me it WONT work , let me spam a bit so you understand what i mean. Greetings, Following the full investigation that was promised to you earlier I have come the following conclusion with regards to the following accounts : xxxxx ACCOUNT BANNED - He was banned for excessive Guild Bank withdrawals 2013/10/28 from a domestic IP and directed towards the supply of gold farmers/sellers or third party services. xxxxx ACCOUNT BANNED - Closed due to multiple third party software violations xxxxx ACCOUNT BANNED - Account was closed for supplying gold to farmers/sellers on 2012/12/05 xxxxxx ACCOUNT BANNED - Account was closed for supplying gold to farmers/sellers on 2012/12/05 xxxxxx ACCOUNT BANNED - Account was closed for multiple offences with regards to third party software. xxxxx ACCOUNT BANNED - Account was closed on 2009/04/27, for repeated account sharing/trading. xxxxxx ACCOUNT LOCKED - Does not appear to be your account. Account created under an alternate name. Address originally registered on the Account is from an alternate country. Merged without any indication of compromise. xxxxxx ACCOUNT LOCKED - Does not appear to be your account. Account created under an alternate name. Address originally registered on the Account is from an alternate country. Merged without any indication of compromise. That bnet account had several years , as you all know they repeat the same email over and over again with the " this penalty as been upheld" bla bla , i sent alot of tickets on last years about the accounts but after the last ban i had on ALL my accounts like i explaing above i tryed the " IM GONNA SUICIDE " TACTIC , spoke with GM online and he said he would check it and would send me email with all the info so this matter would be closed for good , (unban or keep banned ) , belive me ...they got alll logs and they check IP adress , so you cant botther to LIE them saying you got hacked and IP didnt changed at all and they know it. Also this shit that locks account once you change IP screws the hacked excuse , not to mention the MAC ADDRESS. I boted on more than 200 accounts over the years and made alot of $ of it , the bot is what it is and i know there is risks involved obviously and i dont blame the bot on NOTHING , you can bot for 20 mins and get banned and you can bot for 1 year and nothing happens . My advice is stay away of gatherbuddy. Im very sorry for my bad english. Take care all and happy boting
