After putting in a ticket -

"I have reviewed your account's action and I have found that the automatic scrips action was correct. You have been using 3rd party programs (botting) to automate farming of herbs and ore on your rogue, *******.

Sadly, we cannot remove the ban this time, as this is the second time your account has been caught botting."

So you already got hit for over-using GB2, and you went ahead and did the same thing for 12 hours a day on a PUBLIC profile?

Essentially you were asking Blizz to ban you...

You can go either way - deny it (in my mind it's pointless to do so because they already know you were doing something wrong), or just be honest and put the halo on your head saying you'll never ever ever bot again. I was honest and said I botted, they reduced it to a 72 hour suspension.

Either way, the first time with GB2 is almost definitely a server-side trigger that happened because you ran the profile too long. If you get caught the second time, you're likely SOL.
