13 accounts banned : abuse of economy

Hello

As said in topic i lost 13 cata accounts yesterday around 9pm
Even 3 of my main accounts got banned, which was never botted on or anything like that.

Sadly i dont have ID for the most valuable account of them all ... and they wont unban it if i dont get an ID -.-

I botted PVP on 1 computer, was manually running ZA on other.
Got banned on all online and offline accounts. Just 1 account was left online and its still botting pvp lol.

 

already appealed? chances are high to get some of the accounts back as the "abuse of the economy"-bans seem to be often triggered by a script.

 

This was an IP ban imo. because all just not 1 account got banned. 13 Cata, 8 TBC 1 Wotlk everything is gone

And yes i appealed already, got 4 back and the rest is gone forever because i can't provide IDs for them.

1. I'm not really good with PS lol
2. Isn't providing fake IDs against the law ?

 

In fact providing fake id is against the law and I don't think kick told you to PS ID's.. was just putting it out there as an option.

 

I know

 

i would never

 

hmm all of 13 accs work on one computer or... and if u have 2 comps its connected with a router and have same ip ?

 

I had 2 computers running, about 5 or 6 accounts were online at he ban time. all just not 1 got banned. All the offline accounts got also banned.

 

btw i get banned around 15 accs last 4 months for abuse economy. but no one get unban. maybe i saying something wrong in my appeal ? how did u do that guys ? =)

 

Technically, in the USA, isn't botting against the law?

 

Nothing is against the law unless you get caught

 

Botting is NOT against the law in the US - it IS against the TOS of Blizzard. That is why they can ban you.

Kiyumi, the obvious questions come to mind for those of us that are reading this. About how many hours a day did you bot on each account? How many were being run on the same computer? And... did you sell gold?

Judging from the # of accounts you mentioned, it sounds to me like you are selling gold, which is a much higher risk situation than using it for personal use. Also, if you were selling, was it being done to private buyers?

I'm just asking in the hopes that it could be used as a learning experience for others...

 

and if u were using a vanilla account to sell gold???, if u was selling

 

Blizzard does NOT ban IPs.... How many times does it have to be said....?

 

so why he get banned? Abuse of botting?

 

by IP ban she means that all accounts was related to one physical IP adress and due to this they were banned .

 

it could be that the WOW.exe that is installed in your PC has a unique ID no matter how many WOWs you have running or are offline. If you used the same WOW.exe to run your multiple WOW accounts that maybe how they can trace and ban all of them.

 

If that was the case we would know it by now, there are people creating hacks just based on packets sent from-client-to-client.
