      Less than 1 hour ago, was disconnected when I came back from making my lunch.

      4)What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname:

      Warlock, Alternating between Prince of Darkness and Singular, But mostly Prince of Darkness.

      12-16.

      6.5)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot?

      10)EU or US realm?
      EU


      Heres a copy of the email:
      Code:
      Account Name: WOW1
      
      Account Action: 72 Hour Suspension
      Reason for Action: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy
      
      This suspension happened because one or more characters on the account were identified exchanging, or contributing to the exchange of, in-game property (items or gold) for "real-world" currency. This exchange process negatively impacts the World of Warcraft game environment by detracting from the value of the in-game economy.
      
      Even if this behavior is the result of a third party accessing the account instead of the registered user (for example, a friend, family member, or leveling service) then the account 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: http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/faq/antigoldselling.html
      
      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 http://eu.blizzard.com/company/legal/index.html. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure.
      
      For any disputes of this action or further information on Exploitive Activity, please visit the Exploitative Activity FAQ and contact page here:

      Sold to much to the vendor when running it for that long and made to much gold to fast. Just make a " My account been hacked " petition on the website this happend to me about 5days ago when running the same profile for 24 hours.

      Took 15min and the ban was lifted after I sent in the complain to blizz.

      Yea, hopefully it doesn't turn into a perm ban.. That'd suck, Although I've only spent ?10 towards that account so far so I probably got off lightly.

      Funny thing is my other accounts are still active which I use to farm gold, so *shrug*

      How is this even possible?

      So you can have your account banned even if you botted once on it a few years back? :/
