"Account Name: WOW1

Account Action: 72 Hour Suspension
Reason for Action: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized ***** Programs ("Hacks")

This suspension happened because one or more characters on this account were identified using an unauthorized ***** program, also known as a "hack.". These programs provide character benefits normally not achievable in the World of Warcraft. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries. Use of these unauthorized programs harm the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and superscede the intended limits of the game.

Even if this is the result of account sharing, the account owner can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.

We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=25455

The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at http://us.blizzard.com/company/legal/index.html. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure.

If you believe your account was compromised, please submit an in-game petition or fill the contact email form at http://us.blizzard.com/support/webform.xml?locale=en_US. Our support staff will assist you as soon as possible. If you are unable to access your account due to the password being changed, please visit our Login Support site here: https://us.battle.net/account/support/password-reset.html

For any disputes of this action or further information on Exploitive Activity, please visit the Exploitative Activity FAQ and contact page here: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/exploitfaq

ATM I think you just need to fill out the form and they are almost auto-unbanning
 
I think the point here is you have to be reply real fast so they can know that you are still there, monitoring your toon. There was no form I had to fill, I just drop them an email ask that why they banned me. Thats all. And I think this is the interesting part

THE FIRST TIME I MINIMIZE HB, AFTER 2MINS I GOT BANNED

do you thinking what am thinking? If you do, well its exactly how it detect botter :D
 
what so because you minimized hb you got banned? I've minimized it loads (by accident) and nothing has happened
I also did a few time accidentally and no problem
but just wait for a while, and try your luck :D
 
ok so here is what I think
if you minimize HB for a while (it will appear in the right tray called notification area), the thing call Warden can somehow detect HB then it will log u off and automatically ban you. And if you contact support fast enough, you got your account back
personally, I dont think there were any human-action involved in this, just some sort of machine-automatically action
So to be undetectable (at least by a machine), never minimize HB in THE NOTIFICATION AREA.

You give Blizz too much credit. Just because something minimizes into your system tray doesn't make it any more or less hidden to other processes on your computer. If blizzard was watching your machine, they'd have much easier ways to do it.

I don't believe his point was "minimizing it to the system tray hides it from Warden".

I believe the point was "you can't legitimately be playing a game that is minimized." This is something Warden could easily detect, and report: "The player's game has been minimized for 2 mins, yet he is still moving about the world and killing mobs".

Technically, you shouldn't even be moving in WoW if the client is minimized. The window no longer has focus to accept your keystrokes/mouseclicks.

Not saying Warden actually does this, but is most certainly possible.

Technically, HB will not allow you to minimize WoW, just move other windows to focus in front of it ;)

But their statement was regarding minimizing HB (not WoW) to the tray, which I'd have to agree with Protease on. It wouldnt make it any more or less detectable.

My bad--I obviously was reading "WoW" when "HB" was clearly stated. Sometimes, my mind just gets wrapped around the axle. :D

Thanks for pointing it out, Mizzy.

umm its just my opinion, it actually sound quite nut for me also but can it be a coincidence ?
well...can some one try to minimize HB and bot for a while ? :D
just for testing...you know =))

Mine is ALWAYS minimized , other wise I will have 9 HB windows and 9 WoW windows open at the same time which really clutters shit up. Anyways , no bans due to it being minimized. 18-22 hours daily on my farmers. 24/7 on questers.

Experiment done, I'm fucked.
