Offense: Use of Bots or Third-Party Automation Software 1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account? Been using both for about a year without any problems. Was using Quest at the time of perma ban. 2)Which version (and Beta or Release)?: Latest - v2.5.9678.724 3)If so, when was the last time?: Now. 4)What profile were you using?: Naut's pickpocketing. 5)What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname: Rogue. 6)What plugins are you using?: ShutUp AIML + LogMeOut + PimpMyGuild. 7)How many hours per day did you bot for?: On average 3-4 on 2nd account while playing on main account. At the time of ban I had been botting for 5-6 hours on 2 accounts unmonitored. 8)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot? At the time of ban Zero. 9)How many auctions per day did you have?: At the week of ban zero, previous weeks 30-60. 10)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods? At the time of ban I was also running PeerBlock to block B.net. Siegecrafter skip a few times. 11)Was your account involved in gold selling? No 12)EU or US realm? EU 13)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account? Paid account. I was given no 72 hour ban just straight up perma ban. Kinda harsh. It was my first time trying a pickpocketing bot, I ran it 6 hours unsupervised without problems so decided to run it 10 hours unsuperviced today however got permabanned about 5 hours inn. In combination I was also using PimpMyGuild which I think was the primary reason as alot of people seem to report the spam invites. I'm not at home atm, but I assume what happend is this; Excessive reports due to SuperGuildRecruiter + PimpMyGuild. GM Initiates converation while I'm botting unsuperviced (I only do this ~1 day per week) and checks my background processes: Honorbuddy & PeerBlock. I'm not too familiar with this but it's quite surprising that I got straight up perma ban without warning. Honorbuddy addons are setup to shut down if GM initiates conversation however I haven't tested this soooo.. Thoughts?
that's not even a little bit surprising. thats always been the case for gathering / pickpocket bans. it's just that a year or 2 ago they used to always overturn the ban after appeal, now it usually stays and they ignore appeals.
I had two fresh accounts (they were 2 weeks old with multiple 85s from dualbox RAF) perma banned for doing dungeonbuddy and questing. I appealed 3 times all denied and it was first infractions on the account. Depends on who you talk to but now its pretty much always a perma ban then you appeal and hope you get a nice GM that will give you a 72hr change.
