***Notice of Account Closure***

Account Name: SICKLYKUMA

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.


In the past I tried to use vegos profiles to do golden lotus dailys and it bugged out hard sometimes and I had to do something each time, which I believe got my account flagged....

The question is: Should I try to recover it? and how would I go about it, I tried to appeal it by saying I have done nothing wrong and asked why, but they so far said they wont reverse the account

 

[alaerwen]

question is why u got banned because of hacks? this isnt a honorbuddy ban for sure

 

[SicklyKuma]

I can honestly say that I have NEVER used hacks in my life before. I used the following addons: DBM, Postal, Recount.

If it isnt honorbuddy, what was it?

Do a account recovery form. Change password. Then open a ticket saying you got hack blah blah blah and you might have your account back.

The problem here is that i already appealed their decision and they said no to me, so I think it maybe to late to try this, but If you really think it will help?

Guess less people are playing now so the GMs have time to actually investigate people. If you get a ban by a GM there's no way to appeal it, however 99 times out of 100 the GM will slap you with a 72h suspension.

and fyi the best way to appeal is always to call their technical support and have a image of your passport ontop of a newspaper of a current date ready to be mailed to the phone support asap.

Hello friend.

Please don't take this wrongly, I feel for you, but if your WoW account name is the same as your name here on HB (as can be seen above), well ... it's the first thing I would do: google search+honorbuddy (=your profile on HB)....

The same can be said for your in-game toons' names, or your Battle.net account name for WoW, ie WOW1, or GWATE...

Perhaps you changed it for your post, in which case this comment of mine is moot. If however you didn't and create a new account, please make sure that it has NO relevance to anything you do on the HB side.

Don't make it easy for them.

Sorry for your ban.

Odds are you probably got stuck while not supervising your bot and got reported. It's def a good idea to get someone to supervise for you It's something I offer.
