Action: Final Warning, 72 Hour Suspension Violation: Unapproved Third Party Software Blizzard will take action against any players using third party programs, which operate outside the World of Warcraft software, to gain an advantage in the game. This software may include increasing movement or teleportation hacks, automating gameplay, or other changes that subvert the mechanics or design of the game. This can also include programs that obtain information not normally available to the regular player, or that transmit or modify any of the game files. Normally, this classification does not include UI modifications or addons, except those UIs that require an external application to function. This is a final warning that all violations of the World of Warcraft Code of Conduct and Terms of Use must stop immediately (Blizzard Entertainment: World of Warcraft Terms of Use). In addition to this final warning, your game license has been issued a suspension as detailed above. Your game license will not be available for play during this time. As the account holder, you are responsible for the activity associated with this game license. The next violation of the World of Warcraft Code of Conduct or Terms of Use will result in permanent license closure.

Launched the bot like an hour ago in mixed mode using: [H] [Medium Gear] Timeless Coin and Epoch Stone Grind V1.4 / Bg bot AV/SOTA. Just sat down to check on it when i got dced, and got my suspension. Used to bot ALOT before my 6 month break. So i got kinda shocked by how little it took to trigger it this time.

this x2. Actually you are safe, as long as you dont follow the usual bot train, which with bgbuddy is inevitable, so, if you wanna gear fast, instead pay some arena carry for 100-150g per win, which converts to 1000g per the cheap 550ilvl items, like neck, rings and cloak, 1500g per medium like belt/gloves/trinkets and 2000g per the expensive ones like head/chest/legs etc. If you are relaxed about gearing up, simply queue for the LFR wings, once you meet the requirements: 460/470 for the entry ones, 480 for TOT and 496ilvl for SOO. When you queue as dps, you can do it as 99% afk, and dont tick the leader flag in LFR dialog too!
