      ***NOTICE OF LICENSE TERMINATION***

      Account: WOW1
      Offense: Use of Bots or Third-Party Automation Software

      Blizzard has terminated this World of Warcraft license after identifying the usage of bots or other cheat software.



      Suck's but the thing is, account #1 wasnt banned where'as #2/3/4/5 were banned. The only difference? #2/3/4/5 were in pandaria mine/herbing and #1 was skinning and NOT in pandaria. All 6 accounts on same IP and computer. #6 was the one i sell gold on and he's still kickin.

      I'm trying to appeal with the accounts and am hoping by admitting to it and apologizeing i can get all 4 unbanned. I just put 1 month of game time on 2 of the accounts too, which grant the other 2 guy's a month as well.
      EDIT: Appeal denied no matter how hard i tried.

      It seems as if Blizz is monitoring mail now - So trying to mail to other people or alts/diff accounts is monitored just like selling in AH - I've had a few accounts banned recently, and its the only educated guess I have - it is NOT just bad luck.

      NEVER ADMIT - Always play dumb - You will get 1 forgive if you deny all wrong-doing.

      I think this time i can chalk it up to bad luck because account #1 wasnt in pandaria where #2/3/4/5 WERE in panda. If an admin was on patrolling, bad luck. Its the only thing that makes sense.

      All 5 botter's had same schedule type of online/offline and all 5 mailed just as often as the other's so the ONLY difference is what i said above. They most certainly didnt ban based on IP or linked accounts from RaF, etc. since my #1 account and my auction bot (who receives all the items from all 5 botter's) survived.

      Don't say you botted - Mix your bot Activities up never do one thing - And one tip from me DO NOT use Gb2 it looks to botish and WILL get you banned fast than boting other things like dungeons ..

      What else is there for gathering then? Fairly sure GB2 is the best out there, you just aren't supposed to use public profiles lmao, make your own! It's easy to do and you will have your own route no one else will be on!!!

      In my experience, if you bot in pandaria you are MUCH more likely to be banned since that is a botting hotspot, that being said taking breaks while botting is stupid, the breaks wont matter in being banned, if you make an account to gold farm you bot 24/7 until its banned, ive tested it with many accounts in the past and learned that breaks dont matter when the bans go through, ive tried 10 accounts running 10h/day and 10 accounts running 24/7, all of which were banned after 3-4 weeks every time, only difference is the 24/7 accounts made quite a bit more profit. Also farming outside pandaria i have noticed is significantly safer, as long as you do not farm dungeons.

      see ive had the opposite experience. I bot pandaria without any issue (6-12 hours a day) and havent had a single ban happen for months.

      custom profiles are key, though.
