Account Action: 72 Hour Suspension Reason for Action: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized ***** Programs ("Hacks") This suspension happened because one or more characters on this account were identified using an unauthorized ***** program, also known as a "hack.". These programs provide character benefits normally not achievable in the World of Warcraft. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries. Use of these unauthorized programs harm the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and superscede the intended limits of the game. Even if this behavior is the result of a third party accessing the account instead of the registered user (for example, a friend, family member, or leveling service) then the account can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment. We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/antigold.html The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at http://us.blizzard.com/company/legal/index.html. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure.

HB 2)If so, when was the last time?: Several hours ago 3)What profile were you using?: Lectures Violatile Air and Volatile Fire Twillight highlands 4)What combat class were you using? Default Hunter 5)What plugins are you using?: Standard built in ones 6)How many hours per day did you bot for?: Varied, though normally I would get disconnected at some point when I AFK botted. I quit for a couple of weeks, and then started up again for the last 2 days 7)How many auctions per day did you have?: Up until a couple of weeks ago, very few. Then, for 1-2 weeks, I had between 150-200 auctions, and then it went back to very few. 8)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods? No 9)Was your account involved in gold selling? No 10)EU or US realm? US I called blizzard customer support and was told to e-mail them with an appeal. I am wondering if this is worth the effort, or if I should just wait out the 72 hours. I should note, that for several weeks, I was botting HARD for a couple of private buyers (3 weeks ago was the last time)
In most cases for wow it is usually smarter to appeal even if your at fault and blame there computers for making a mistake. That way to blizzard your not sitting and taking the blame... ( GUILTY ) but seeing as this thread is ungodly old... It doesn't really matter know.
