after a long string of bans starting back in the middle of November, i've decided to take it easy for a bit. i've been leveling a pally, couple hours a day. finally got a good routine for running dungeonbuddy. i hit 60 and decided to level my professions a couple levels. somewhere around 50ish, i shut down and went to bed. didn't play any yesterday but woke up bright and early this morning [6:30] the time i usually start the WoW day. i started Arelog and popped my toon back to org to empty the mailbox. after emptying the mail, i started professionbuddy with the same 1-600 flying profile that comes packed with the botbase. the bot took me south to farm moar copper, not a problem. i go to fill my cup with juice, gone maybe 2 minutes, and come back to the computer to find my toon flying spastic circles in uldum. WTF BLIZZ, so i shut the bot down but my toon is still doing crazy flips and circles up in the sky. i try to move, but nothing, cant dismount, cant cast to force a dismount. so i count it down to a bug and shut everything down. now its noon and i decide to pick up a few levels. i open Arelog and click my toon but sadly, that account is no longer available for play.

Account Action: Account Closed Offense: Abuse of Game Mechanics The distinction between exploiting bugs and abusing game mechanics is a fine one. While bug exploitation involves the abuse of what is essentially a programming mistake, the abuse of game mechanics is the act of taking advantage of the limitations of the World of Warcraft game systems. Since the line between the sanctioned use and the abuse of game mechanics is sometimes unclear, we prefer to educate players before taking any action against the account being used.

Although i did spend from level 45-60 doing dungeons, but 100 percent supervised, even making a point to talk to each group i ran with. i made sure i had a good routine so my dps wouldnt be real bad. did all the right stuff as far as need/greed. there was only one instance where the tank was pulling like a madman and everyone verbally shit on him. but i cant see him reporting me for something.
