Banned without even playing lol

Hi all!

I got a 6 month ban in the May banwave and decided not to play WoW anymore although i still have WoW and most probably an older version HB installed on my laptop i have not logged in or anything. I have been looking at my emails at work and noticed i have been given another ban which puzzled me so i thought i'd look at the HB forums in my lunch break and noticed there's been another banwave. I'm not bothered as i didn't have any plans to subscribe or play again just thought i would let you all know if it somehow helps i don't know.

i got also an acc banned which wasnt used for 2 years now lol (wasn active at all - no sub or other things rofl)

I wrote a ticket and the response was that i was caught with the automatic system rofl.

Indeed, we see this time-and-again...
Bliz sometimes 'holds back' accounts from a ban cycle to punish them at a later date. This confuses the heck out of the botting Community. This tactic (along with much other information) is documented in the following article:

Be informed. Don't let them confuse you.

"Two year idle" accounts does seem quite excessive, and silly imho.

cheers,

ok the idle acc was unbanned after 7 tickets lol but they banned the other acc a few moments later for no reason too lol

did not bot at all after the may banwave (the acc was banned in that banwave).
