I've had this account about a 3-4 weeks. No warnings, just a perma ban today. It's a RAF account referred from one of my main accounts. I have a few accounts that date back to launch of WoW that I never bot on. The account that got banned had 1 character that I leveled by hand (with RAF bonus) until about level 65 then for the most part I leveled via gatherbuddy2 and bgbuddy. I think I ran 1 dungeon instance with dungeonbuddy just to try it out. At most I bot 4-5 hours in a single session. Wondering what the best response to the GM is in an attempt to try to salvage the account. I'm not new to botting having used Glider, Pocket Gnome etc back in the day, and have had a couple of accounts banned over the years. Not the end of the world if I can't get this account back but figure i'd like to give it the old college try. 1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account? Both 2)Which version (and Beta or Release)?: Release 3)If so, when was the last time?: Daily. Was actually botting when the email came in. 4)What profile were you using?: Deepholm Long H+M superman 5)What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname: Druid using Singular 6)What plugins are you using?: Refreshment Detection AutoEquip2 7)How many hours per day did you bot for?: Total 8-14. No more than 4 hours in a stretch. 8)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot? 30% 9)How many auctions per day did you have?: None 10)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods? I use Jambaa, ISBoxer and InnerSpace when I play the accounts manually. 11)Was your account involved in gold selling? No 12)EU or US realm? US 13)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account? Paid. It was a RAF account I intended to use for botting/gathering mats. I had applied a 2 month game card on the account. Thanks! Here's the email. Any guess as if this is an auto ban or an actual investigation? Looks automated to me. ***NOTICE OF LICENSE TERMINATION*** Account: -------------------- 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.
