I am no expert at this but have had 9 accounts banned in the last 8 months. I got all 9 back. 3 years ago i used a different bot one i would never use again lost 6 accounts including my main, i could not get any of those accounts back.
so i quit wow for a few years, after playing the MoP expansion and deciding to play again i realized i did not want to play 24/7 and i remembered why i started botting so long ago.
After searching far and wide i found Honorbuddy, but since i knew botting would get me banned i learned to "Babysit" all of my botted accounts.
I start the bots 2-6 of them running at a time and i sit at the computer watching them all.
Sometimes i run dungeons with 5 raf linked accounts "babysitting" some times i do archeology, mining herbing skinning grinding i have used every bot that comes with with HB love them all.
I did NOT bot i BABYSIT!
some of my accounts were scroll of ressarected and some were fresh new accounts.
now the bans-
i received a few 72 hour suspensions. - those acounts i began botting again within 48 after the suspension ended but instead of say questing i ran dungeons or used archeology to level or maybe i would use PB to level proffessions. i changed what those accounts were doing.
when i received a perma ban or aka account closure notice on an account-
the solution was simple. I knew on the druid that i had farmed heroics with dungeon buddy i remember the idiots in the group hated the tank and i had stuck with him, i remembered that i had died several times running into mobs that our group forgot to clear.
on my pali when it was banned i remembered that had been running about 9 hours of gathering and the day before had been been skilling up its fishing.
the hunter it had been running archeology the day before and then had been grinding skins for about 5 hours.
so i knew i had used so many different bots and done so much those days i did the ONLYthing anyone should ever do when they get an account closure notice.
I submitted a ticket asking what was going on and why my accounts were closed but i detailed all the things the "KIDS" had done on the accounts. the heroics or the archeology or the quests or whatever i was specific enough to show i had been actively supervising CHILDREN playing the game.
I asked why they would close my sons account for abuse of economy and my daughters account for hacks when all the kids were doing was trying to enjoy a game and learn several valuable lifes lessons about setting goals and earning their rewards. i told them my son HAD to gather 1,500 stacks of ores and herbs if he was to have enough gold to buy the mount he had wanted, and my daughter had to have 300 tokens from turning in stacks of fish if i was going to buy her the in game pets.
each and every ticket i submitted was specific about what the bots had been doing, the reason a child was playing, and i never begged for the accounts back, i ended everyone of them asking why they would take something from a child who wanted to spend time with their dad/mom. i said the kids were ages 4-9
this worked to get my main that was locked with an authenticator. this has worked for me 9 times out of 9.
I hope this helps some of you get lost accounts back, i wont guarantee that this will work for you, but i guarantee it has worked for me and i have NO doubt at all that it will continue to work for me. it is NOT a violation of the TOS to allow 1 minor child to play an account.
I name all of my accounts and since i have spent several hours "babysitting" i know where they get stuck where they make mistakes. i have observed them doing everything that its easy for me to explain why my 8 year old daughter was running into a wall and backing up and jumping and acting eratic.
my advice is dont let the bot do things you have not seen how it does them. babysit your bots and DO get upset when blizzard takes something from a child do get upset when you spend soo much time and money teaching a child to gather herbs ores skins whatever, but do not allow that child to play any game for 24/7.
we got the mage account back after it was account closed for doing bgs all day. same thing and the 8 year old boy was trying to pvp why close his account.
be creative but dont allow the kids to play more than a kid could play.
