Before all the spam of "LOL 20h+ you asked for it": I know In no way surprised or shocked that I got suspended. Bit more curious that they gave me 48h, thought they only gave 3h or 72h. I've earned 250k+ in the past few weeks, so botting has almost paid for itself now.

However, is there any sense to appealing the suspension (and is it possible)? A few days break from botting won't hurt me, but will it count positively/negatively to have appealed if I get another suspension/perma?
I'm on vacation at the moment, so only had my current IP for 2 days. Thus, can I claim to have been hacked?

Sorry for all the questions, and thanks in advance for any answers Love HonorBuddy, best thing ever to happen to my gaming.

I always appeal bans. I don't want a record on my account.
What did the e-mail say?

I would most likely try to appeal it. You should be able to pull the "hacked" card.

Keep a low profile on other characters/Accounts because they probably did a I[ bann so keep a low profile

Update: Got my bot acc back, no problem, and havent really been online on my main acc past few days.
Then today, I check my mail (the one linked to my main acc) and find two mails:
- Battle.net Account - Password Reset
- World of Warcraft -- Account Action Notification -- Exploitative Activity Found
Recieved about 5 minutes apart (PW reset first), and when I tried to log on to WoW my password had been changed. Yes, I use an authenticator.
Apparently, I were suspended for 72h for "Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy", even though I've never sold gold or anything.

So: Is it possible to be hacked even when you use an authenticator? And will I be able to reverse the suspension?
Kindof confused right now, thought having an authenticator meant I were safe. *angry*

:EDIT:
I'm stupid, the password reset was done by Blizz when they suspended me. Appealed the suspension, hoping to get it revoked.
"This suspension happened because one or more characters on the account were identified exchanging, or contributing to the exchange of, in-game property (items or gold) for "real-world" currency."
What apart from goldselling could that be for?
