EMAIL #2 Greetings, * * * NOTICE OF FINAL WARNING * * * Account Name: ------- Realm: ----------- Character Name: ---------- The actions detailed below have been deemed inappropriate for World of Warcraft by the In-Game Support staff of Blizzard Entertainment. Based on a review of the information presented, this World of Warcraft account has been given a final warning and a 72 hour account suspension, in addition to any previous warnings issued. Until the suspension has been lifted, the account will not be accessible. Offense: Unapproved Third Party Software A third party program is any file or program that is not a part of the World of Warcraft software, but is used to gain an advantage in the game, such as increasing your movement speed or teleporting from one place to another beyond what is allowed by game design. It also includes any programs that obtain information from the game that is 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, except those UIs that require an external application to function. Any external applications that are used in conjunction with World of Warcraft can cause quite a few unwanted side effects. Some of the major possible results of the use of third party programs can be instability of the game to the point that a player "crashes" from the game quite often. External programs can also be used to transmit viruses, spyware, and other unwanted programs into a player's computer. Third party programs can also be used to obtain information from the player's computer, such as account, password, and personal information.

It seems fairly cut an dry to me... Someone reported your character name as inappropriate. Player reports are investigated by GMs. A GM looked at the account and recognized that you were botting and issued a ban. With that said, I would be thankful that it is only a 72 hour ban though.
^^ i think the gm just send the wrong email first... Where real people are working mistakes just happens... But good to know that blizz dont use bots to investigate the tickets...
