Received an email from Blizzard: Account Action: 72 Hour Suspension Reason for Action: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs ("Hacks") This suspension happened because one or more characters on this account 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 harm the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and superscede the intended limits of the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have exactly followed HB rules, bot 6-8 hours, stop 8 hours, but my account has been banned while using kicks profile to level up my alt by questing. My concern is that the email saying it is a hack, what does that mean? someone hacked my account or what? I have been told if only use HB to questing which is very safe, but ban still happened, any sugguestion for not get banned in the future, I just want to level up my alt. Please some one provide answers for my two questions. Thanks a lot.

If you started botting on fresh account since day one, that had triggered autoban, indeed. There is enough threads about it here, and I have "tested" it the bad way too :< Had enough accounts closed simply because I started with 6+ hours botting - raf dungeons or kicks since day one :< Yes, they turn them back to 72h after appeal, but still, that way I "use" my 1st offence, and any other offence would be usually closure.
I can only think of that some1 reported you for being stuck or something or your bot was acting weird. Any other suggestions?
