Main Bot Banned

[neal121]

Main Bot Banned (Now --- UNBANNED!)

I am not going to bother to fill out that little form again since I have it almost down by heart now ...

I got my main perm banned and I am annoyed by this. I dont sell gold, I dont bot 24/7, and I only run it like 6 hours max a day in groups of 2-3 hours (so 6 hours total in a day).

I dont get it!

I am gonna try to fight it, see what happens. i have had to fight this before and won last but idk about the same account again...

I just dont get it. I have never had my bots get nailed so fast. I can usually go awhile before I get hit.

Account Name: WOW1

Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy

Here is my ticket I sent them:

Banned again? For what? I didn't do anything wrong! I spent my time flying around, stocking up on mining items for my new guild and now this? I am VERY unhappy with the service I am getting for paying almost $100 to JUST PLAY!

I used to be a huge fan of blizzard (battle.net) products dating back to Diablo 1! But because of this, I feel battle.net no longer trusts its players and just wants to get their money by banning their accounts and then making them to pay again. This is unacceptable.

I don't sell gold, and I do not know what this exploiting the economy means. Is this because I sent the gold I made from the Auction House to a good friend of mine that I play with almost everyday? Is it wrong to help others out in the game? Is it wrong to make anothers player experience fun as well? Is it wrong to have fun altogether? What is wrong with you guys at battle.net? All of this is unacceptable!

I request to have my account unbanned.

Thank you.

EDIT:

I assume I was banned for exploitive activity was cause I sent gold to my main via mail/trading? Thats where a lot of my gold went to - my alts or main.

*SIGH*

I am still waiting on ticket response.


EDIT:

UNBANNED!

Sorry for your loss, however you should not bot on an account "you can't afford/don't want to lose", personal affection and so on.
Also, you shouldn't trade and mail big amounts of money, that's what gbanks and vanilla accs are for. :/

 

[neal121]

Well what if I want to the gold to my main?

I still have my main personal account. I dont bot on that. I am saying I lost my mainbot account (the bot that does all the farming).

 

[MegatoN]

Oh, sorry. Seems I'm a little bit too drowzy.

If you want gold to your main (that I assume is not within the guild), you should withraw from a vanilla acc and then trade/mail it to your main or use the AH method. I mean, there are numerous ways and it's always a risk.

 

[neal121]

So stick something into the AH from my main worth like ... 9000 gold and buy it with the vanilla?

I've seen ban reports for that on here.

How does a vanilla account get over 9000 gold?

 

[neal121]

Use the vanilla to take the gold out of my bots gbank and buy the item that I put in the AH on my main, then the gold is sent to my main.

Exactly, or just F2F trade or mail it, it's all up to you and your sense of security layers or how paranoid you are

Penalty volcano? lul @ blizz jargon. Glad you got your acct back.

From the Blizz email you posted, it looks to me that they feel you botted but since it's a 'long standing account', they are giving it back to you with a strong warning... but if you're caught again, the penalty (perma ban) will likely stick.
