So, I got up after a short nap and was greeted a permanent account closure notice after 4 days of botting.

I've not got much to say, I'm just a bit shocked I got banned 4 days after I started this account.
There wasn't much lost, I'm very new to this and I hadn't even made it to level cap yet. I'm just
glad I didn't enter my payment details on the account. I was still on the free month from the battle chest and
after reading

any World of Warcraft account associated with the payment information you have provided, has been permanently disabled

I'm glad I didn't make it past the first month. I would have just used my card without thinking twice about it.
You can see the progress I made here: http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorb...ories/65039-my-first-go-botting-progress.html

I'll be submitting a ticket to appeal this, but for now this is the end for me.
I don't know if this was a spot of particularly bad luck or this was detected, but the experience has soured me.

Thank you all for being so friendly to be in my short time here. I'll be taking a day or two to collect my thoughts and write
a ticket.



EDIT:
I've started to think this is a little fishy, I've obviously received a cookie-cutter email from the:

any World of Warcraft account associated with the payment information you have provided, has been permanently disabled

And having no payment information attached to the account I'm starting to feel this was an automated response.
I'll be sure to report back with how this turns out.

I am sorry mate, but I am 99% sure, you have been kind of scammed.
Your WOW Battlechest license have been charged back, thats why the Billing support have added this line:

any World of Warcraft account associated with the payment information you have provided, has been permanently disabled

And I guess, it is not related to Honorbuddy at all.

They don't perma ban for 1st offense with botting, especially not on fresh accounts without any history.

hmm something is wrong I lvled a pala with 16h/d playing time with kicks profiles got no problems, someone or some botter know that you are botting and reported you

Again, this is no related to gameplay, his payment is rejected/disputed/charged back, so the billing department automatically ban this account and all the accounts, related with the same payment information (read "same credit card" here), till the issue is solved with the CC owner.

 

[rabrams99]

i had 2 accounts permabanned first offense.

 

[Gatherit]

Sounds like you bought a SoR account? I'm no lawyer but that's exactly what it sound like.

this ^^

known scam, same with mounts... code revoked etc etc, payment has been pulled back on card. You got scammed when u bought it.

nothing to do with hb, no one reported you... automated response on a chargeback.

Sorry for the extremely delayed reply. It seems the store I bought the game codes from were at some point sourcing their products from stolen cards. I didn't want to touch it with a 10 ft. pole so I've abandoned that account now.
