7/7 Bots/mules down

[Gentoo]

1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account?
All account are over a year old, 1 was about 5, so was a little of both over time.

2)If so, when was the last time?
Last day i logged in was approx a week ago. I've moved over to Neverwinter so i was letting these bot's all sit and sub's expire. A few account's i had actually canceled a week or 2 before they all went down. I must of pissed off the wrong GM and he dug pretty deep to find everything i owned.

3)What profile were you using?:
Personal unreleased Mining/Herb

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

5)What plugins are you using?:
LogMeOut
AvoidPlayers

6)How many hours per day did you bot for?:
Actual mining/herb bots didn't spend much time in the air, 3-4 hours max per bot, different zones and time. My Main account did all the Prospecting/Gem making etc.. I never once had that account in the air with GB, the only time i would attach HB was to run allrounder.

6.5)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot?
Never let anything run overnight, I have a huge setup with multi monitors and was usually here when my bots were running.

7)How many auctions per day did you have?:
On bots none. Everything was shuffled through guild banks where it was turned into Gems/Chants/etc and sent to a $5 vanilla account that had a level 30 that played AH whore. The AH toon would list 200-300 Gems/chants a day, Did this for several years.

8)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods?
PQR and Shadowbot

9)Was your account involved in gold selling?
Yes, usually sold weekly with a total of approx 6 hundred thousand to a million a month or so. Been a seller for about 3 years now.

10)EU or US realm?
US
11)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account?
Mix and Match.. i think 2 were actual expansion accounts, the rest were SOR. All accounts over a year old, never had a issue.

Account Action: Account Closed

Offense: Abuse of Game Mechanics

The distinction between exploiting bugs and abusing game mechanics is a fine one. While bug exploitation involves the abuse of what is essentially a programming mistake, the abuse of game mechanics is the act of taking advantage of the limitations of the World of Warcraft game systems. Since the line between the sanctioned use and the abuse of game mechanics is sometimes unclear, we prefer to educate players before taking any action against the account being used. This category includes using/distributing game mechanics in a manner unintended by their design that:

* Damages another character, their gameplay, the service itself and/or its economy

Kind of a weird ban letter, dunno what to make of that..Every account got the same one.

Guys it has been a true honor to have been a part of these forums. With the current Price of gold, and a game that is quickly approaching 10 years old (and i just haven't enjoyed in a long time) i cannot justify rebuilding. Honestly in quiet contemplation i have been hoping this day would come. It has been a very fun and exciting experience, i wouldn't change a thing.

Good luck guys, and thanks for the memories.

Strange ban letter for botting, when my first account got banned the offense was Macroing/Use of third party programs.
