LOL! I botted like 24/7 in Pandaria, all mining a few weeks with breaks of 1 hour or so to do some leveling on alts.
Strange thing is, I stopped the mining for a week or so and I got the ban just now.. Lol.

Do you use any cheats and hacks in addition to Honorbuddy and did you allow WoW to "Send a Crash Report" if it has crashed recently ?

What exactly happened ? Can you elaborate more ?

Type of Violation: Exploitation
Category of Violation: Third Party Program

This type of thing doesn't refer to botting, it means you are suspected of using a program, which changes the mechanics of the game, aka a "cheat" which Honorbuddy is not, and the fact it comes a week after you've stopped using HB means it is probably not referring to HB.

Circumventing normal game mechanics has a negative impact on the game experience of other customers.

Somebody complained you are using something to bypass game mechanics, things such as flying without being able to fly, walking through walls, climbing walls, lagging yourself too much at too convenient times in a Battleground to achieve an objective easily, etc.

Better ask them for more info on the subject and pretend you have no idea what this is about, because this will stick and considering it's a "final warning", it means next time you may face a permaban if it remains on your record.

Account Action: Suspension (72 Hours, Final Warning)

This means Blizzard are not sure if you did or did not really hack their game, but the accuser was convincing enough to get them to act. Read it as "you looked really suspicious". You could still appeal to get it off your record, considering you are also botting and are at high risk of reports.

Here is a sample letter, of what you should say. Please don't just copy-paste it, as copy-pasting a text from this forum directly is probably the worst thing after reporting yourself while botting.

Hello, I have no idea what game mechanic I have violated or bypassed. I was just leveling my character when I suddenly got disconnected and received this notice. Could you elaborate what I have done to piss people off so much so I can avoid it in the future ? Only third-party programs I use are some addons from Curse and WoWInterface and I am ready to remove anything you find is against your ToS or is annoying others as I care about my account and don't want to lose it over some stupid crap.

Best Regards,
Your Name
