Banned for hacking? Does that seem right?

[mouse18]

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

This account was closed because one or more characters were identified using an unauthorized cheat 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.

Doesnt matter what they call it, botting is a violation of the TOS. You're not going to get off on technicality like false charges, WHERE IS THE LEGAL SYSTEM WHEN YOU NEED IT
