***Notice of Account Closure***
Account Name: ********************
Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy
This account was closed because one or more characters were identified exchanging, or contributing to the exchange of, in-game property (items or gold) for "real-world" currency. This exchange process negatively impacts the World of Warcraft game environment by detracting from the value of the in-game economy.
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 behaviour 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: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/services/anti-gold/

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/So, a few conclusions I can make from this "test":
- I've 100% NEVER been player reported. (Never missed a single in-game whisper)
- I've helped people do quests, had chats in-game frequently etc.
- This account is about 8-9 days old. (it's like 1 year old but I ressed it, didnt have any chars on it tho).
- I've bought 1 month RaF playtime about 3 days ago, but with paypal so no in-game transactions.
- There were about 5 other obvious botters in Uldum, they've dissapeared (they were non-stop also) so we can conclude bans come in "mini-waves" (Instead of 10-15 ppl in uldum all the time there are only 3 now, the others were 100% botters because bot-hunters were spamming their names in general chat etc etc)
- I've NEVER sold gold yet. (Only leveled 80 -> 85, done archeology, done bg's, did some herbing/mining in different zones all the time - got 30k gold only).
- I was selling most of my herbs through CoD with in-game mail.
- This is also my first INSTA ban on this account, never had a warning or anything before.
So, this is an auto-ban, non-player report related, using a couple of filters most likely:
- How long I've been online within a week. (Long on this account)
- That I've had AH transactions. (Not an excessive ammount, 100~ish per day isn't that extreme imo)
- That I've had mail transactions? (A lot of in-between mailing, a lot of CoD sales)
- That I looted a lot of the same items?
I actually didn't bot last night, because I had a bad feeling about it, and this morning at 11:00~ish the mail was in my mailbox (hadn't been online for 10 hours already).
Edit; So I got unbanned within 10 mins after contacting them, definately an auto-ban.
