Yes but your hardware ID is unique.
Even the wow client gets it for crash reporting

I have to say thay I've also been there.
Gatherbuddy to gather minerals these days is really risky I've also lost my account by using gatherbuddy with custom farming profiles of my own.
Forge of Souls & Pit of Saron - I read one thread that GM is sometimes manually checking these instances because running them you can get good profit.

not only ip they can track hardware ip/mac adress don't think they do ip/bans I've got lots of tickets and live chat from them after loosing my 11 accounts. The only way to do this safe - using different computers to bot on + change ip so it doesn't look suspicious or VMware + ***** = best protection.

i Appealed the ban for my main account yesterday, because it seemed strange that they would ban me 5 months after doing something.

The GM replied:

I'm sorry to hear of this situation. It looks like your account was banned for using third party programs to bot but I've completed a review of the account and found that to be incorrect.

I've unbanned the account now, if it's still showing as banned please complete a password reset and it should update.
