so i just reactivated my account a few days ago to bot up some gold to sell when i recieved a perma ban this morning. botting maybe 12 hours a day for about the last 4 days since reupping the account so i got hit fast. heres the email: ***NOTICE OF LICENSE TERMINATION*** Account: WOW3 Offense: Use of Bots or Third-Party Automation Software Blizzard has terminated this World of Warcraft license after identifying the usage of bots or other cheat software. These programs (commonly called cheats, bots, and hacks) automate certain aspects of gameplay, or provide unintended advantages and abilities to the player.

I just got an email saying my account has been closed. I was hoping to start playing again next month once school dies down and am not sure what happened with my account. Was i hacked? Im scanning my computer as we speak for any viruses. Hopefully i can get the issue resolved. Please look into it and reverse the ban so i can continue to play after this semester about an hour later, my ticket was resolved and changed to a 3 day suspension!
