Nope mate. We all have acc whit same issue. Just dont grind anymore. Grinding is dangerous. Just farm.

Alright, first, the Arks - Skyshard & Ancient Guo-Lai Cache Key & Mote Farm is one of the riskiest profiles you can use, as everyone is using it and you can see tons of people at the gate farming the mobs, mindlessly exterminating them, running like bots, fighting like bots, acting like bots.

Just find another place with Mogu to farm and make your own farming profile.

Also, 100+ auctions is really condemning. Just, don't, especially on the same account you are using for farming. Get one of those "Black Friday" deals and use that for AH activities, and transfer the mats using Guild Bank. Will help if you use plugins for guild leveling and growth to invite other people in your guild so it won't be just you and your farming toon, as such guilds look very suspicious, but a big guild with 1000 members will serve as a fine shield.

We could help you more if you post your exact ban letter, with GM Name, Realm Name, Your Name and Character name removed from it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help, your post if very usefull, I very much appreciate it! !

Get one of those "Black Friday" deals and use that for...

-You are right, ill propably buy an account - just for botting and like a guild bank. Good tip!

-I already have less than 23 hours left of my suspension, so why should I write them? Actually, I wrote them twice and they always replied something like, that they have a proof, that I used a thrid party programs etc...Or should I write them to close the case in my favor like a prevention for perma ban for the next time?What do you mean?

Unless it's a Final Warning, don't bother them. Considering by the time you read this your ban will have expired, it would be pointless. Typically offenses such as "exploitative activity", "abuse of the economy", "third party software" are better off appealed, because they are added to your record with Blizzard and will make the next action more severe and the next appeal harder, but everything has a time and a place, and it would seem that this one is better off left alone.

OK, thank you one more question: What should I do now? Should I stop botting for a while?

You can continue - but with caution! Avoid grinding profiles for awhile. Lvl a new char, farm some ores/herbs.

I personally grind/farm on a dailey basic, but i follow my own set of rules - because i use my main account.

1. I never bot overnight
2. If im leaving home, i set the bot on and add a system shutdown for 1 hour later.
3. I do breaks. Every 4 hour at least, i take 15-30 min. At this time i swap chars, do a few auctions, chat a bit with people. You know, act like a wow player.

The best tip i can give you, is this:

Do not "play" like a superhuman. Not even superhumans play 18 hours ? day, for 7 days.

I know ALOT of botters has gotten away with botting alot more and aggressive. But i've been botting since glider - and never seen a ban.

Lvl a new char, farm some ores/herbs.

Isn't that risky to use a bot on the same account, immediately after the suspension? Is blizzard going to monitor my acc?

Mate just do what you think you should do.

Well, thats not an answer... I should make a new char on the same acc and lvl it with some gathering profiles, but I do not know if Blizzard is going to monitor me :-/

They dont. I told you before. We all have acc whit same issue. Just do quests whit CombatBot for reputation, dont gridn anymore. Put some gear on char. After 1 week start to gathering. I was do that before 6 month.
