PAID ***Notice of Account Closure*** Account Name: WOW1 Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs ("Hacks") This account was closed because one or more characters were identified using an unauthorized cheat program, also known as a "hack." These programs provide character benefits normally not achievable in the World of Warcraft. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries. Use of these unauthorized programs harms the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and supersede the intended limits of the game. Even if this is the result of account sharing, the account owner 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://us.battle.net/wow/en/services/anti-gold/ 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://us.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.

I got the same thing using a different gathering profile in the different zones, after 5 days of gathering, it got banned, same response. When I appealed it and said I didnt use hacks, a GM responded to the appeal with the same response but added botting to the lists of benefits. So I'm guessing their watching gathering pretty hard.
My other account got banned this morning and I am fighting it. I very rarely botted on the account anymore and if I did I was right there. The email I got from them was really weird though. I will post it when I have fought my batter at 1pm est. It's on like Donkey Kong! BTW I think its pretty obvious what they are doing. Banning while a sale is on... I wonder....
