Account Action: 72 Hour Suspension
Reason for Action: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized ***** Programs ("Hacks")
This suspension happened because one or more characters on this account were identified using an unauthorized ***** 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 harm the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and superscede the intended limits of the game.
Even if this is the result of account sharing, the account owner can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.
We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article: Blizzard Support

The suspension happened at a very strange time. I was on my main running arenas, logged off it to swap to an alt I was grind botting and was disconnected at the character screen. I get dced all the time when switching characters so I thought nothing of it. When logging back in it said my account was suspended. I checked my email and nothing was there. 3 hours later I come back from going out to dinner and I have mail. 72 hours for my first ever infraction. I just think it was very strange that the suspension did not come into effect until I had logged off my toon, which I had been on for a good 6 hours playing by hand.
Is this something worth fighting or do I just accept that I broke the rules and got caught? Even while botting today I was at my desk doing homework and babysitting it for 90% of the time and saw no other players.
