Do you have any observations about the event you'd like to share?
i feel like this is a wierd suspension considering i had a prior offense on the account and being this is a 48 hour and i was suspended for using 3rd party programs as refrenced in the email. some things to note i only used bg buddy i never quested or did anything other than farm honor/conquest for cap on alts. i was previously banned for botting archeology that was the 72 hour and i never posted about it. at this particular time i was probably botting bgs for a minimum 6 hour period although i cannot be sure when i started the bot but i was banned approx 1130 pacific time. over the past month or so since coming back i had been botting some occasions for 24-48 hours strait doing bgs only stopping to switch characters in cases longer than 20 hours due to conquest capping one toon and swapping to another. i feel extremely lucky that i am only suspended for 2 days, its curious so i am wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar behavior from blizzard as of recently. i do have an account that is permanently banned on a second offense on a diferent battle.net account first offense was archeology... youd think i would learn right... second offense was bg buddy and it was permanently banned at the end of mist of pandaria.
