So I just got my first ban ever, I don't now nor have I ever sold gold. I don't even farm gold, I just use HonorBuddy for lazy raider and BG/questing. I decided I wanted to go from just botting 1 account to 3 and so I bought a couple new accounts yesterday and started questing on them separately using Kicks.

I've been monitoring them about 60-70% of the time and haven't seen any issues. Been working great... anyways I was actually staring at the screen when wow crashed and had been monitoring non stop for about a hour before being booted because I was playing in a BG on the same monitor but diff client, nothing was stuck or anything, I was in the middle of a quest when I crashed. When I attempted to log back in I got the message saying my account has been suspended. I then got this email shortly after and here's the weird thing, it says hacks detected? :


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.

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 athttp://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.

If you believe your account was compromised, please go to the following website https://us.battle.net/account/support/account-recovery.html. Our support staff will assist you as soon as possible. If you are unable to access your account due to the password being changed, please visit our Login Support site here:https://us.battle.net/account/support/password-reset.html

For any disputes of this action or further information on exploitive activity, please visit the Account Administration Overview and contact page here:http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/300515




Think I should appeal this or just let it slide?

 

And now not 2 minutes after I posted this the other account I created and starting questing on has been banned ( diff battlenet) , I haven't even played that account since yesterday when I first bought it and leveled the character to like 15....

 

Bad luck, I have 3 leveling right now. All are at 68.

 

surely there will be blizz devs registered to this site & stripped hb down to the bone, recently had a 72h ban as well on 2 accounts. Any suggestions from dev side?

 

Appealed both of them, already heard back on 1 and it's been unbanned
