3 accounts banned permanently. I ran 3 mining bots in 3 different zones 24/7 for about a month. I sold my earnings daily as well. I expected this to happen with how I abused the bot. Thanks for the ride!

 

Well 24/7..

Your kinda asking for it bro.

But still, I feel ya.

 

9)Was your account involved in gold selling? Yes

imho, this

 

I was expecting a ban at any time, and milking it for all it's worth in the meantime. That being said, alas I am not surprised. I am moving on.

BTW if this helps anyone, I sold gold to one buyer the entire time, and when I made my first sale to the new buyer, I was banned in less than an hour. Protip: sell to one buyer.

 

Update

I sent Blizzard a 1-sentence email and all accounts are now unbanned.

 

LOL, their accounts team must be smoking / drinking for the holidays still.

 

WHAT? Doesn't sound like Blizzard to me? What did you say? "Unban me or I will kill you all"?

 

"My battle.net authenticator was removed a couple days ago, and now my accounts are banned. What is going on?"

 

smart move, did you disable the authenticator yourself?

 

Yes.

 

Sometimes they unban by accident I've seen it happen before, quickly reversed though.
