      I've Been using HB for 2 Years now and this is my first ban. I botted 8 toons to level 85 then never ran HB on that account again. Still Play it as my main account .

      For the last year I have been botting on a second account. I botted a pally to 85 then botted him a full pvp set. He is a Herbalist an miner.

      I have him mine an herb from 6 - 12 hours per day. Rotating profiles from Vash, Uldum, an Twighlight. In his stats he has picked an mined over 60,000 nodes of each. He sends everything to another level 1 Character on the botting account. That then deposits everything into my guild bank.

      My main account has one toon in this Guild bank that withdraws the materials. I have fellow guild mates use the materials to make flask an such, which I then AH.

      My botting account only logs in from my laptop. I steal wifi from someone else on this
      My main account only logs in from my desktop. I use my home internet on this one.

      Never, Not once has the other account been logged in on the wrong computers. Each has there own and there own internet connection.

      I finally got a ban yesterday.

      ***Notice of Account Closure***

      Account Name: WOW1

      Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy

      This account was closed because one or more characters 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.

      Won't paste the rest of the email. Its all standard copy an paste ban email.


      So I went to battle.net and wrote them an email stating pretty much. This is BS. How can you ban an account thats playing your game like it was intended. I mine an herb only and was busting my butt to complete achievments that you yourself setup. Just to ban me for achieving. The Cauldron for guild achiev and the min/herb guild achiev. I was putting all my items in the G-bank for guildies to make flask and gems to get these achievs for my guild.

      They unbanned the account and I am right back to botting away :)

      Wonder how long until they ban my bot account again

      Oh, I should probobly add that my guild bank only has 3 members in it. My 2 botting account toons and the one character from my main account that is guild master. Prob not a good thing to do. But I am to lazy to get more people in it. Also My botting account is a refer a friend from my main account.
