Made a trial account a few days ago and have been playing it without botting. Upgraded it today from trial to MOP using pay pal. Started the new release of HB = Banned after an hour. Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy WTF Abuse of Economy. May not be HB, as iam thinking my paypal might be red flagged from the banwave......who knows
Heres an interesting response i got regarding this "Abuse of Economy" ban i got. From Blizzard. Hi there. The actions in which were penalized on your account have been deemed inappropriate for World of Warcraft. Due to the accumulation of our previous findings, this World of Warcraft license was reviewed for closure. This license has now been reviewed and we support our initial findings after one or more characters on the license were found to be using an unauthorized cheat program. These programs provide character benefits that are not achievable in the World of Warcraft through normal means. Such benefits include character automation (also known as "botting") either with skill rotation or gathering professions, increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls or boundaries. These types of programs offer an unfair advantage over other players and supersede the intended limits of the game. If what they say is true then everyone would be getting banned right? I was using the latest HB and quested for an hour or less. BANNED ><
Righto got one out of five accounts unbanned. But i wouldnt be so sure im in the clear yet. Odd because i didnt get a response or email saying it was overturned, instead the opposite, told i would never be unbanned. They deleted my 2nd ticket about the ban as well (i have email to prove it, made it but it is no longer found when i use the link). And the Account is unbanned, i just logged in and moved around to org.......
For the record, im more than glad to give my login details to any HB staff to check out my statements above and post here to say its no fake bs. I aint gonna post a screen shot or a video for all to see including the good guys over at blizzard.
