This is the replies i got to my tickets :

Greetings,

I have now overturned the closure and placed a 72 hour suspension on your WoW account. It is clear that you have been using illegal software and you have been botting.


Please note that if this continue, we will close down your account completely next time.

Greetings,

You are receiving this message in response to the help petition which you submitted regarding your account currently being locked.


Thank you for your ticket, even under these circumstances and I hope that you are well and good.


I have investigated this for you indepth and unfortunately I am upholding the current strike against your account, but am adjusting it to a 72 hour suspension. We do not tolerate any form of third party bot or character automation programs on the realms.


We have detected and verified such use of programs from your computer, and from actions within the game.


Please be more careful in future, as any further infractions can lead to longer suspensions or even account closure.

Greetings! My name is Game Master ****. I received your Battle.net Support Ticket regarding your account.

Due to missing or incorrect information we need you to give us a few more details. You can do so by clicking the "I still have a problem" button and then entering the following details:


- A scan or digital image of nationally recognised photo ID, such as passport or drivers license (please do not include public transport cards, library cards etc, as these are unsuitable for our needs).
and
- The last 4 numbers of the credit card you are using on this account or a picture of a game card used, if you use those.


If you do not have access to a digital picture you can also send the information by post to:

And the surprising one :

My name is Game Master ********, and I did the Review on your appeal in regards with your account suspension.

And going over the logs again I can see that you were constantly using a 3rd party program to automate your character - ******- actions and movement.


Using such programs is a serious offence against the Terms of Use, such is your case this Permanent Suspension had been modified to a 72 hour Final Warning temporary suspension.


I hope I don't have to explain the gravity of this matter, take it as it is..Final Warning there won't be any more given


If you wish to see the evidences presented in the matter please contact our Legal Department here:

First time i see them willing to provide evidence?!

Going over the logs = time online.

 

[ZoOoOoM]

Going over the logs = time online.

Could be!
Could also be the fact that since they hit 90 they did nothing but farm

In the replies that included the offensive character name, it was the farmer.
So it has nothing to do with auctions from what i can tell.

It's just weird that even though all account were running the same schedule (30 minutes difference in online time Max) and only those got banned.
No whispers ever received on them, so idk... will look further into it and maybe adjust the online time..

 

[Aetheric]

Going over the logs = time online.

I think so too..

The phrase "We have detected and verified such use of programs from your computer, and from actions within the game." is only partially true. I don't think they will be able to "detect" HB on your system.

The last part "from actions within the game" is a more likely reason why you have been banned.

Too much time online and most probably a report or two as well by a "fellow" botter, since especially botters do recognise certain bot-like behaviour.

So you "got back" all of your 4 closed account. I mean they reduced it to only 72h.

Btw if you are going to write to their Legal Dep. for evidences, you might post it there. I think a lot of ppl would be really interested about it.
