i was playing a dungeon myself, not boting. then i got disconnected. when i try to log back in my password didnt match. i quickly changed it and loged in to the account page. my account was banned. and it turns out i am banned from playing any blizzard games. i submitted an appeal, saying it must have been a mistake. i mean, theres no technical way to truly PROVE it, what they do is check your play history and maybe monitor/spy on you and say "this account plays many hours non-stop, and this toon moves like a bot. its definitely a bot, ban him." but without any tangible proof, right? i maxed 3 toons by healing random dungeons. maybe this got me. i also generally farmed grim batol a lot, made like 100k in total. what a shame, i had this account since day one. ten years. edit: 1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account? Honorbuddy. 2)Which version (and Beta or Release)?: Always the latest 3)If so, when was the last time?: Yesterday, around 00:00 GMT 4)What profile were you using?: DungeonBuddy, at that moment. but i had stoped it and was playing myself. 5)What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname: Default, Resto Shaman. 6)What plugins are you using?: Default ones, like anti-drown and refreshment. 7)How many hours per day did you bot for?: Boted like 10-15 hours, 4 to 5 days a week. 8)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot? Around 25% ?? 9)How many auctions per day did you have?: Around 500 embersilk cloth, once per week. 10)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods? ARelog counts? 11)Was your account involved in gold selling? No. 12)EU or US realm? EU, English, Grim-Batol and Kazzak. 13)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account? Paid, very old account.
you actually botted dungeons and recourses on a 10 year old account... you are either stupid or didnt care at all for this account there is no other explanation and you are wrong there is a technical way to prove it.
my appeal was rejected. they said that there is evidence that proves i was using a bot, but they will not show it to me. that seems so wrong. is there any chance that they will unlock my account when a new expansion comes? cause i had a 3-day-ban "final warning" like 7 years ago. then i had two more "final warnings". so it seems like they dont take their bans so seriously. maybe they will give it back some day?
They're not going to arbitrarily decide to unban your account at some unspecific point in the future, they're going to forget about your account in about 5 minutes and never think of it again.
if you reached the part where they say something like "we wont answer from now on on this matter" its done and your account is lost
At this point, your only positive move is to bench it up for a while, 1-2 months at least. Then act like returning customers, who were away from years or so, and play hacked! But this have to be done from different computer, different IP from your usual etc! Its a must!
Why call him stupid to bot on a 10 year old account? If he didn't care about it? I know many people who are botting on a 8-10 year old acc. and they really have nothing to lose. Never did something special in game, just chilling. No important or rare stuff etc. Maybe OP is in the same situation where he actually doesn't care that much about his acc.? On the other hand what are you guys doing to get banned? I have been botting several almost 100 hours in BGs with default singular routine and I have never had one single warning.
