Hello all,
Just want to say I have been playing this game for 5 years and never once used a bot. Well a friend of mine introduced me to HB so I decided to give it a shot considering I couldn't bear the pain of leveling a 4th character. 1 hour after I started the bot grinding mobs in Outlands, I had my account suspended. Lets just say that I will be sticking with legitimate gameplay from now on. However, I did find HB to be interesting and easy. Also, my friend had his main account and 2 vanilla accounts perma banned. Below is the answer they gave me to my 2nd appeal.
1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account?
HB
2)If so, when was the last time?:
3/23/11
3)What profile were you using?:
H 58-70 Grind
4)What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname:
Amplify Mage
5)What plugins are you using?:
None
6)How many hours per day did you bot for?:
1 hour on the first day
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?
