This is the e-mail i got! i was logged out for hours gone on family issues! had my laptop in my car with me! so im on hold waiting to get an answer on when this happened and what info they have! Account Action: 72 Hour Suspension Reason for Action: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs ("Hacks") This suspension happened because one or more characters on this account were identified using an unauthorized cheat 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 is the result of account sharing, the account owner 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: Impact of Buying Gold - Services - World of Warcraft 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 Blizzard Entertainment:Blizzard Legal Documentation.

looks to me you got reported while questing... though it's very rare+not very likely to get caught while questing as you're on the move pretty much all the time.. looks like you was in the wrong place in the wrong time.. even if the bot got stuck behind a tree or crates or anything objects for 10 seconds and an other player was in the area then reported you for cheating blizzard would look into it.. also US you play.... I have seen alot of people getting banned in US.. never seen someone getting banned using the questing profile's specially kicks profiles. I have levelled many chars to 85, and many low levels like 40+ never got banned before I'm EU so looks to me you just got unlucky..
im thinking there may be more to it... as my buddy got one as well... while using the same profile in a different area and lvl
well, only profiles I have ever used is kick's questing profiles... I remember when I woke up and he was walking into walls for hours on end.. and stuck at a quest giver trying to accept the quest for ages and stuck at the flightpath... no ban till this day... maybe you're just unlucky?
i Did get my account back. with the typical e-mail. May or may not have been a hacker but change your PW and dont do it again! lol (Botting right now) also... just a note: i transferred my 85 rogue and 85 sham (both botted 1-85) to my main account i dont bot on (besides arch)
