1) Were you using DemonBuddy on the account at the same time the ban/suspension occurred? (Kicked offline due to being Banned)

Yes, I was actually playing myself, through VMWare, this time not on my V-P-N.

2) If not, when was the last time?:


3) If using a public profile please name it here:

I was using Pure Alkaizer Profile 2.5O.5 by Gnomegawd

4) How did you level your characters? Please give some details

Actually, all my characters were hand-leveled this summer. I took time off from July to November at which point I returned.

5) What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname:

Giles Combat Routine

6) What plugins are you using?:

RadsAtom, GilesTrinity

7) How many hours per day did you bot for?:

This was variable, to be honest. I started out pretty modest - 10 - 12 hours a day. Towards the end, I was going for about 16+, but only once did I accidentally pull a 24 hour one.

7.5) What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot?

Probably about 30 - 50% of the time. I am a student, so I spend a fair amount of time away from my desktop.

8) How many auctions per day did you have?:

6 - 10

8.5) Did you use the Real Money Auction House (RMAH)?

No.

9) Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, Mods, or Exploits?

No.

10) Was your account involved in gold selling?

No.

11) What server region where you connected to (The Americas, Europe or Asia)?

The Americas.

Here is a question - I know some people have been banned for using VMWare and V-P-N. However, my use of a V-P-N is actually for school - in order to academic journals, scholarly articles and the like, for free, I set up a V-P-N through my university's medical school, so I can obtain all of these articles for free. Most of the time, I simply leave it on without thinking otherwise. That being said, my V-P-N is only located 5 or so miles from my actual location, so this may not be a good enough excuse.

Another thing, much of the required software that is available out there from the big name companies that my professors require me to have, work solely on Windows OS, which means I needed to make a partition on VMWare to run these things. Could I make a case here? These are really unique circumstances, but they are 100% accurate and true, just like the fact I was botting. ;)

Either way, thought I would ask. For the time being, however, I am banned! No big deal.

Also, I submitted a ticket stating the aforementioned (made it nice and fluffy, as I had my WoW account unbanned previously by fluffing it up appropriately), so we will see where that gets me.

The one sad thing here is that I lost my Collector's Edition. :(
 
Hope you get unbanned, they should focus on the bigger fish out there

Appreciate the support - As much as I would agree with this, I suppose it is nonetheless battling the "issue". Here's to hoping I fluffed them up well enough! :D
 
I had a similar issue and you didnt get banned for botting you got banned for using a V-P-N. When you connect through a V-P-N your account gets automatically flagged by blizzards automatic server thingy that detects an ip change and what not. if you just explain that you use a v-p-n because of school the ban will be lifted but just dont use a v-p-n again i made that mistake and got another account banned.

So, you are saying that you had this happen, you explained why you were using a V-P-N and the ban was lifted? I have already submitted a ticket stating this, but I was uncertain as to whether or not this was the case. In any regard, I will keep you updated as to the outcome of my ticket.

Thanks!
