I have been using HB for almost 2 years. Never had any problems. I always said to myself that I will never get caught. I always try to be around when I run HB but that day, I let my GB2 run all night to level my pet with pok?buddy....I didnt think it would get caught, since90% of the times, it fight battlepet..but when I woke up on saturday morning, I had an email saying my account has been perma banned for use of 3rd sofware or something like that.. I got the account back on my second Appeal.

I really would like to know how they caught me..

Oh well...i did some mistake : like having auction on the AH. Played more than 14-15 hours that day...was not supervising my account when they banned me...

What should I do now ? Stop using HB ? Stop using GB2 ? Any advice...I usually run HB to do the boring stuff in wow...leveling my pet, doing some achievements, farming for my mats to level profession or transmute. Anyway...

Thanks

Nvm, didnt see pokebuddy.

yeah but with the pok?buddy pluggin, it can take a day before the bot to reach the end of his path since it's fighting all the battle pet on the ground...and sometimes there are like 4-5 battle pet together.

You are right anyway...it was a bad mistake :\

what did you say in your appeal to get your account back? Like most im terrified of the dreadful day I get banned although it seems like there is atleast a chance to get your account back compared to back in the day it was gone, period. I'd like to think my odds are even better considering the faltering population these days and the fact I am on an empty server.
Either way, I'm just trying to feel out what the best approach to take is. What did you tell them them during the 1st appeal? the 2nd? What made the difference between the two that convinced them to reinstate?

 

[Manihack]

First Appeal : I told them that they have made a mistake
Response : Nooooooooo

Second Appeal : But I didnt get any warning or notice
Response : Ok sorry. You can play your account again

 

[klepp0906]

seriously? so you didn't deny it? you just said sorry and u weren't even warned? LOL. I mean, this is kinda important because if someone reads this and takes your approach and its total BS and they get perma canned >.< I always thought I would deny it till I was blue in the face.

Either way, I think as long as you aren't trafficking in huge amounts of gold, and just using it for personal use (like I do) they are a lot more lenient these days considering the massive population hit they've taken. Or is this just in my head?

 

[FliX]

I used the same way, but i never got my account back.

You had luck.

 

[klepp0906]

ughgh not compelling >.<
perhaps its luck of the draw ie: who gets the file on their desk that day and the mood their in? Unless there is like 1 or 2 guys who's job it is to handle this and they do all of them. Then perhaps its more of a case by case basis?

 

[Manihack]

Well I didnt say I was botting. I just said that I didnt get any warning....lol its almost the same thing but I didnt want to say directly that I botted.

Anyway....the game is not the same without HB :\
