I know for a fact that blizzard knows your moms middle name, how many cats you own and where you work, how many times you masturbate (oh trust me they know some here spend more money on baby whipes then wow acounts).
This together makes a maths summary x / y * Z and when that gets over 9000 you will get banned.
Truth
(Blizzard could do much more then they do, they have GM?s only GM?s really know how GM?s work, not all GM?s use the same system, GM?s are humans, they work as any human would. think more like "What would you do if you where a GM?" a GM do most likely do just that, within a sertain set off rules ofc as they do not want to break laws.
Diferent countries has diferent laws!
Some countries might allow blizzard to scan outside wow memory, some does not, would you if you wherea huge industry risk breaking laws to catch boters?
Blizzard, wow or any simple program running on your computer can get much information.
Do they se your ip? Yes.
Do they ban you for a sertain ip? Most likely No, but one can never know for sure.
Do they investigate accounts connecting from a sertain ip more closely? well would you if you where a GM? i would if i did se an ip verry often, maybe not after just 1-2 reports or bans but when i have banned accounts from a specific ip more then X times i might look more closely how many accounts connecting from it, maybe make a red flag ip or something, but one can never know for sure, what we do know is that when bans shit happens to one off your account it seems to soon get worse. but not always.
