hello,

ye i heard about it

i was sending about 25 mails / day of whiptail to my main acc. probably why i was flaggged.

but someone says thats not dangerous with ingame Mail / Auctions. I dont know how to avoid it without " Guildbank " or own Bags.

 

[Nyvelle]

You got banned for abuse of the economy, not for using a third party program.

Strange, as you said you have no auctions nor involved with gold selling trades.

 

[Gigglebyte]

It's not strange tbh. Blizzard throw out random ban reasons

 

[Redberet9912]

Got unbanned. Safe to bot again or wait a few days? Anyone have this happen and know?

 

[Jvidia]

Leave it a few days!

Play normal

 

[Altoids]

I would say play normal but try to do some of the same type of things he was doing before... aka, since you were gathering, do some gathering so this way it doesn't look like a huge change in behavior for the toon.
