      All were paid accounts.

      14)Additional information?

      These bans have occurred on 4 separate occasions over the last 8 weeks, losing 3-8 accounts in each occurrance, presumably through a MAC or IP ban, hitting all accounts currently logged in, instead of the one reported account, or through readable memory detection via Warden or other means.

      ALL bans were given the reason, "Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy," and upheld each time despite trying different methods of appeals. In one live chat session, I was directed to this page because "that reason is used for a number of different things":

      Also, I received this interesting response in one of the appeals that didn't have a copy/paste response:

      Does this mean more should be done to hide HB from readable memory? Should you require at least a renaming of the .exe?
