Nov. 6 -- 2/2 terminated (GB, AA, Quest)

1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account? On one account, just gatherbuddy. On the other--questing, auto-angler, GB.

2)Which version (and Beta or Release)?: .754 test release

3)If so, when was the last time?: Was running fine this afternoon, then was banned 30 minutes ago at the same time.

4)What profile were you using?: At the moment it happened, GB-Spiid's Trillium(dread wastes+townlong). Questing-Cava's profiles(hellfire peninsula)

5)What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname: Singular default GB-demonology warlock. Questing-lvl60 beastmaster hunter

6)What plugins are you using?: Default refreshment and cava plugin

7)How many hours per day did you bot for?: 8-12

8)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot? 25%

9)How many auctions per day did you have?: 300?

10)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods? Just honorbuddy

11)Was your account involved in gold selling? Nope

12)EU or US realm?
US

13)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account?
Both were actually paid accounts.

I've been running cava's questing profiles for the past 2 weeks, was leveling the 5th character through hellfire peninsula when I got the ban. I did notice it doing something very sketchy just hours before, flying in a tight circle, trying to land but getting stuck on a catapult. This went on for idk how long and I got a whisper asking if I "found any". Luckily, I came back from afk 2 minutes later and gave some basic reply. But I could have been reported as a bot by then. I also ran gatherbuddy on the other characters and autoangler on my main. Autoangler was never running longer than it took to catch nat pagle fish though, so I doubt that was suspicious. The other account was just gathering, I gathered about 8 hours per day with it in pandaria. The two accounts are linked to the same battlenet. The email was the generic:
***NOTICE OF LICENSE TERMINATION***

Account: xxxxxxx
Offense: Use of Bots or Third-Party Automation Software

How do I go about disputing the license termination to get it reduced to a 72hr? What do I say as my excuse? The main account is from burning crusade days and survived months of botting in 2011. I don't think it's ever gotten a ban before so would hate to see it gone for good.

just open a ticket, i don't think it matters what you write. they often get it down to 72

and never use GB2 on a main account. if you use it all, it has to be a lot less than 8-12 hours per day.

It seems these people were not able to bullshit their way out of it. I can make something up; I've been through the process before. But what did other people say recently that got it reduced to 72hr? Back in my day, "I got hacked" was a plausible bluff--but it seems they're prepared to pull up IP's and be tougher about it now. A lot of people report it getting reduced, but the obvious missing crucial detail is how. What's the cookie cutter excuse for Offense: Use of Bots or Third-Party Automation Software these days?

It seems there's direct detection happening with all these bans at once. Or were we all from accumulated player reports that were saved for a ban wave? Are they equipped to prove it if I just deny using any 3rd party programs?

GMs are not retards, they already know what you have done, the moment they check the logs.

Just play stupid, and appeal, they always give 2nd chance on 1st offence.

Dont look other botters, everyone have their own story.

Was that a whisper from a random player? I think you where watched and found guilty by a ghost gm, my hunch. Always watch your account man always. As for what you should do, i agree with imtakinusrs, dont give them B.S. best of luck on appeal.

not sure, very scary ideas.
 
Appealed
Hello. I was disconnected while playing today and got a message that my account had been closed! I checked my email and it said my license was terminated for "Offense: Use of Bots or Third-Party Automation Software". I don't use bots or any third-party automation, so I'd like to appeal the termination.

My friend and I just got back into the game a couple weeks ago after the free pandaria push. We've been playing as much as we can, trying to complete pandaria and get ready for WoD. I looked on the forums and it seems way too common that innocent players are auto-tagged as botters just for how much they play. What really surprises me is that you guys are permanently terminating people's licenses; right off the bat, without any reason. With the exception of MoP, I've been a customer of WoW and blizzard since I was a child. My account hasn't ever been banned before and it's ridiculous that I would waste my career account on some bot. I asked my roomie and he also said he hasn't been using any 3rd party software.

What happened to this game? Isn't there any staff at blizzard with a conscious soul, or is blizz all just bots churning accounts and money? I paid a lot between subscription and service fees to arrange for my roomie and I to play together this upcoming year. I want a real GM to respond and reverse the termination of the two accounts, XXXXXXX and XXXXXXXX. My roomie doesn't even understand that this can happen to wow players, he's never played before. He's lost like $70 because of this... thank god he didn't decide on WoD yet.

Please look into this issue. We'd still like to play; just less, I guess.


Reduced to 72hr
The actions previously detailed about the situation has been deemed inappropriate for World of Warcraft. After review, we have determined that the World of Warcraft license will not be closed though. A 72 hour suspension would've been in placed, but about 24 hours has passed since the banning.

Any further infractions of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use may result in permanent termination of the account. Please review the World of Warcraft Policy section at https://battle.net/support/article/100644.

Thank you for your patience and understanding with these two accounts.

Pretty vague reply :shrug: I guess imtakinusrs is right, they seem to know... but look the other way if you feed a sob story.

yep thats the correct response. NEVER admit to botting.

used to be they reduced ALL permabans to 72 hours after one ticket. i got replies in 5 min lol. now it's harder. but i dont think you need a big special story, i always just wrote "hey i cant login what does it mean "botting" did i get hacked or something please help" and it worked fine.
