Both Honorbuddy and Gatherbuddy 2)If so, when was the last time?: 7/16/2013 3)What profile were you using?: mostly Zuabros megaroute Kalimdor, Outlands, Northrend.

Virtually 100% of the time with sporadic afk for bio breaks and drink runs. 7)How many auctions per day did you have?: On the banned account, zero. All herbs and ore were deposited into a mule guildbank. 8)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods? No 9)Was your account involved in gold selling? Never, just used gold for progressing my characters only. 10)EU or US realm? US 11)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account? Paid with 60 day time card. I was extra careful with this botted account because I was banned previously on two main accounts about 5 months ago, accounts I have had since 2005. I appealed those tenaciously without it being reversed, no warning, no 3 day, just straight perma ban and no reversal. So I created this bot account using a new name, new bnet account, using game card so it wouldn't be connected to my credit card. I alternated zones when I was farming, the last zone I was in before I got banned was Northrend. Smelted all the ore into bars, logged off and 14 hours later, got the error 202 when I tried to log in. Submitted a ticket saying I didn't use any 3rd party program and would like proof of any wrongdoing and the perma ban got reduced to #203 72 hour suspension. I'm going to assume they will be monitoring me now on this new bnet account as well as the old one. Shame really, I like playing WoW, just hate the grinding aspect which is unavoidable if you want to stay competitive. P.S. This account was only about a month and a half old and I was using Gatherbuddy for only 2 weeks before I got hit with the banhammer.
Tried changing IP, NSA knocked on my door and asked what's up, so I had to change it back. The answer is no.
Its not about the GB2 only - using bgbuddy and gb2 together could accumulate reports too fast, im afraid, and lead to autoban, just like the one you received :<
