How do you undo what? Reported for using *****s doesnt help much. Is it a 72 hour suspension or a perma ban? We need more info.

Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized ***** Programs ("Hacks")

This account was closed because one or more characters were identified using an unauthorized ***** 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 harms the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and supersede the intended limits of the game.

Even if this is the result of account sharing, the account owner can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.

We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article: Blizzard Support

The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at Blizzard Entertainment: Blizzard Legal Documentation. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure.

If you believe your account was compromised, please submit a Customer Support Ticket via Battle.net: https://us.battle.net/support/ticket/submit.

Was using Grind Bot, and Quest bot in Outlands for max 6 hours

 

[Pearl1219]

Do you use anything else besides Honorbuddy or Gatherbuddy?

 

[restodruid]

Much better. I can't believe you got a perma ban for that. I got a 72 hour ban for that and got it back within 30 minutes. All I did was log into my Battle.net account and submitted a ticket from there asking them to review my account suspension/ban. If they have you banned for botting and not gold selling then you should be able to get it back. Thats what I would do anyhow.

 

[K4M]

no thats it, i think someone reported the character.. i havent had any issues for the last 2 weeks

 

[Pearl1219]

Usually GB or HB is banned with the e-mail of Automated Software I believe. Phone up blizz and tell them you were questing or whatever and your account is now saying it is locked. I don't believe this is the correct ban for the rules you have broken, therefore, Blizz may not have a lot on you and it could easily be overturned.

 

[K4M]

Account unbanned within 1 hour of submitting ticket on battlenet

Thanks for the support dudes

 

[munkeewrench]

I have similar issue, what did you say in your ticket so they unban you??

 

[tumbum]

Dont Grind!

 

[K4M]

I have similar issue, what did you say in your ticket so they unban you??

I said I have been a long time subscriber (since Beta) and that it was ridiculous that my account was closed with no warning, and that i had done nothing wrong.

 

[K4M]

It's simple, don't grind. If you grind you're basically asking for a ban fella, just use Kick's questing profiles.

Yea i looked at the poll after this happened and saw the result's of grinding being above Selling gold, and felt like a tool lol, well now i know

 

[zuabros]

I have used kick's grind + instancebuddy (mixed mode) to level my chars. Works fine.... entering dungeons makes blizz automated grind ban reset, I think

This makes sense since i had dont dungeon Powerleveling with my main, and then finished off the leveling with grinding, and was soon banned..

well now i just need to learn to make my own profiles and add to the gold making community

 

[Kisovec]

I do not grind after 72h ban (that is like 2y ago or so?)
As buddies said >> grind is almost a call for ban <<
