Offense: Use of Bots or Third–Party Automation Software

Blizzard has terminated this World of Warcraft license after identifying the usage of bots or other cheat software.

These programs (commonly called cheats, bots, and hacks) automate certain aspects of gameplay, or provide unintended advantages and abilities to the player. This type of cheating undermines other players' experience and severely upsets the balance of the game environment.

I came back from a 6 month break and started to bot unregular for a few hours.
Got hit for the first time, but I gladly managed to change the perm into a 72h suspension by an appeal ticket.

can you write down, what you wrote on the ticket?

Simply, I just emphasised that I'm a honest, reliable and long-time Player that got wrongfully banned.

I'm still wondering about the fact, that I just botted 3-4 days (ingame) in total and got hit immediately.
The account was frozen for about 6 months and the years before, I never got any suspensions.

i think (maybe wrong) that using public profiles get you banned. i think blizzard surf around those forums and save those public profile into the server ,they then check the coordinates of all players who spend long times farming. if i am blizzard i would do that.

this is my thoughts as well. That, or vigilante players that have observed the paths of some botters and camp a common spot, reporting everyone they see follow the same route. I'm making all my own profiles for WoD, and going to actively monitor the public profiles and change mine to stay different. HB is way more popular than it used to be so bots are flocking.
