Just got the email, "Account Name: ******* Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs ("Hacks") This account was closed because one or more characters 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 harms the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and supersede 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 - Shop - 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.

When I did bot on it only gathered never sold gold on or auctions on that account. All stuff was via transfer through guild banks. just to other toons on same server of my own. Never sold gold on any of the other accounts either. Hoping to appeal!

I will definetly shar it but only via PM. In case there are blizzard trolls on here i don't want them to be able to single me out via what i wrote.
You'll usually get your account back on the first ban. It doesn't really matter what you say to them, as long as it isn't, "hey... we both know I bot... just unlock the account, please." Just deny it... they'll give you three strikes for the most part. (Unless it's something they consider serious at the time). They call it the pyramid of punishment or something. lol. Grats on getting the account back. Be careful!
Yea, i had actually gottena three day suspension on this same account a long time back i would say 6-12 months ago from grinding. More than likely i will continue to bot. Will just do a larger array of things. Will still gather just not as long of times and will level more toons on it so it does not seem as werid.
Could you also send your reply to Blizzard in a PM to me? Thanks in advance and congrats on getting your account back! Happy for you
An update on this, I am still botting on my toons. Nothing too crazy right now til everything dies die. Especially with all the people on for the holidays. Also, if you just joined in the past month and have 1 post do not expect me to reply to you in any PM. Pay your dues then you may get a little more information.
