Banned - Abuse of the Economy

[nahsala]

1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account?
- GatherBuddy

2)If so, when was the last time?:
- Last night.

3)What profile were you using?:
- 1-525 Mining + Herb ( Only mined though )

4)What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname:
- Singular BM hunter

5)What plugins are you using?:
- AlertMe, AutoEquip2

6)How many hours per day did you bot for?:
- I only got to use it for 4 hours yesterday, previous days it's been grinding 85-90 for about 10 hours a day.

6.5)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot?
- 0% using AlertMe for whispers etc.

7)How many auctions per day did you have?:
- This account haven't posted any auctions before using the 1-525 levelling pack where it posts all the ores. So about 200 stacks of low level ore/stones it reached.

8)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods?
- No

9)Was your account involved in gold selling?
- Never

10)EU or US realm?
- EU

So from what I understand I actually got banned for putting up the 200ish stacks of low level ores/stones while levelling Mining? This just seems odd to me since without the bot this would be a possibility to?

My brother in the house botted 10hrs (Fishing, gathering, grinding) a day the last 3 days on the same IP so I guess that might be a factor aswell.

i guess you made only very few quests aswell, so its gonna be nearly the same.
i called blizz after this and talked with the support. he told me that i only had
very few quests done with my char and i said i hate quests, bg leveling is much easier & i love grinding.
i explained i had my char leveld 80-85 with gathering mats so i could make gold.
