tl;dr permaban for Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy --- What to do for appeal? Longer: Finally got the ban hammer. However! I wasn't AFK during the ban, and my account hadn't been recently botted on. (5-7 days). I haven't bought or sold gold on this account, I had been using Tyreal with the Demonic Class Routine, so not much in the AFK department. I don't use the Auction House for selling items. The appeal... First time I have been banned since Glider days, and I was hit with the massive banwave that nailed a big portion of that user base (2005 I think it was)... Anyway, I am unsure of how I should go about the appeal? I see people have been able to get their ban's turned from permanent to 72 hours. Also - I have seen some services on another website that people offer a service for $15-$50 to assist with getting your ban reversed. Has anyone used them? Are they doing something I don't know about? I am basically looking for some assistance with trying to get this ban turned around and getting stuck with a 72hr ban - if it is remotely possible?
