I had ran HB to level 1-90 and was doing way to long of botting sessions and after 90 I used gatherbuddy with random buddy and received a ban shortly after.
Pretty sure ban was caused by player reports.
In my appeal, I admitted fault and explained that I was starting out on wow to play with friends and they had mentioned something about the bot that would lvl me very quickly so I could start playing with them asap.
Said I had learned my lesson and fully accept their decision either way and that I wouldn't use something like HB again to automate anything in game.
Account was unbanned within 72 hours.
