I'm going to gather a couple of stats on the recent bans and try to compile them to possibly see, what is being targeted by Blizzard right now.
Fill out the Form and I will make sure to combine the results in the first post.

Please don't post in this thread, unless you post about your ban.
Discussion Thread: CLICK ME

1) SoR Account or Paid Account:
2) EU or US:
3) Last time you botted (Be honest!):
4) Hours/Day you botted:
5) Bot used (Gatherbuddy, BGbuddy, Questing):
6) Custom Profile or Public Profile:
7) Have you been selling gold:


Please try to keep your posts as compact as possible, so I can gather the information easier.
Kind regards,
Kjin

SUMMARY
Bans counted: 34 Users (239 Accounts)
Paid: 136 | SoR 103
EU: 237 | US: 2
Gatherbuddy: 236 | Questing: 3 | Grinding: 0 | Dungeons: 0 | Battlegrounds: 0
Custom Profiles: 229 | Public Profiles: 10



Hypothesis 1: All accounts were EU, it doesn't matter wheter it is SoR or Paid, mostly GatherBuddy users were banned.

Hypothesis 2: HonorBuddy is not detected, it is gathering that is somehow being targeted now. EZbot/Crawlerbot users have been banned as well!

Hypothesis 3: Blizzard has been taking very harsh actions against gatherbots during the last week, even long time experienced botters have been hit. => BE CAREFUL ABOUT GATHERBOTTING AT THIS TIME!

*UPDATED* 02.05.2013 (incl post #42)

Ur inaccurate.. you missed one entry where someone was questing.
A few minutes later, someone else posted "questing" as well.

So GB only, as your summary suggests? Nope.
