1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account?
I have used a bit of everything from time to time, but most recently I was using Honorbuddy with Questing bot.

2)If so, when was the last time?:
10/15/13 around 9:00am CST, I think.

3)What profile were you using?:
I was using Kick's BC profile ([Fly][H - Quest] BC 58-70 [Kick]) in Hellfire Peninsula. He got kind of buggy at some point and was grinding an area of the same mobs over and over, but I don't believe it was a "grind-to-level" type thing (which I have seen in a Kick profile before, nothing wrong with that) since he was a 62 when I checked and I found him stuck between quests and bags full of a grey item specific to the certain mobs around the area.

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

5)What plugins are you using?:
Autoequip2, ItemForAuraQuestHelper, Talented2.

6)How many hours per day did you bot for?:
Varies, but I guess I'd average about 6 a day, and with the last bot time it was about 4 hours.

6.5)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot?
Again, it varies, but I think that usually it's around 70% of the time, however I wasn't initially watching this bot session.

7)How many auctions per day did you have?:
0

8)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods?
No.

9)Was your account involved in gold selling?
No.

10)EU or US realm?
US

11)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account?
Actual paid account.

I got the seemingly typical email of:

Account Action: 72 Hour Suspension
Reason for Action: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs ("Hacks")

This suspension happened because one or more characters on this account were identified using an unauthorized cheat program, also known as a "hack.". These programs provide character benefits normally not achievable in the World of Warcraft. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries. Use of these unauthorized programs harm the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and superscede the intended limits of the game.

I also had a WoW crash due to HB shortly after the bot was doing it's odd grinding behavior. I am unsure whether or not the crash report actually got sent or not, but HB caused WoW to crash because I was logging into a different character and closed HB...and Wow tends to crash when that happens. I automatically hit the 'Esc' key several times, as it has become force of habit with certain things, and I saw the report come from WoW with the "Send info to Blizz"-type box checked. I'm not certain if it just goes ahead and sends it at that point or what, even though the report was not closed out by traditional means.

So, I don't know if the suspension came from botting, and the potential obviousness of it at the time, and someone reporting me. Or if it came from sending in a crash report to Blizzard on accident.

Either way, I got a 72 hour suspension for it. Sad day..or days rather..
 
Count yourself lucky.. I just got perm banned on a first time offense with this exact profile (alliance version) last night.
