Reactivate froze account under same battle.net with same IP adress wil get me banned?

[Pierlala]

Hello,

I currently have 2 accounts banned. I have 3 in total, but one of them is frozen and not upgraded to WoD yet. I wonder if I activate that account and use HB or whatever sort of bot on it. Would that be suspicious? Will they look into my account and perhaps ban me again? And even if I wouldn't bot, will they assume I am using a bot and shut it down immidiatly?

Another question is, what if I start botting on this reactivated account and they ban me. Does that mean that my current bans (6 months) will turn into permanent bans?

many players have reported getting banned after logging in after resubbing.

its rumored that you are a tiny bit more likely to be banned when starting a new account on a bnet that has a banned account attached. but the chance is so small , i cant even acknowledge that it exists.

yes, sure, they can suspect you of botting and ban you, but that is every day, not just now. one more ban should not affect an existing ban.

-these are my opinions and not facts. there is a difference.

Yea, you would never be sure, but the former practice from Blizzard do proved, that when you are botting, only the caught licence get actioned.

The non-participating accounts in the botting activity do get actioned, only if you get caught into severe exploitation like Massive Gold-selling, duping, etc.

And again, usually they do not monitor non-flagged licenses, aka these never involved into exploitative activities.

So you are perfectly safe, as long as you do not cross the border on this battle.net. (And crossing border means, if you bot on another 10 accounts from the same machine, too)

I asked a GM a similar question and got this response No you will not get banend on that account, if you havent botted on it ofc.

Asked if i transfer the lisence on the banned account to my legit account if my legit would be banned.

This is the latest response from Customer Support:
Greetings xxxxx,

That kind of depends on what specifically you trying to do. A WoW Account can never be merged with another wow account. But if you have a wow account on a different battle.net account under the same name that could be moved into your battle.net account here. The "moved" account would no longer have access to the mounts/pets/achievements of the old battle.net account but it would not be affected by the ban.

Account penalties are always specific to one WoW Account and dont affect other wow accounts.

Transferring game licenses is something we can help with in some special cases, though we must refuse a lot of these requests to eliminate account sharing, trading and selling as much as possible.

Ok there are pretty helpful reactions atleast. I'm temtped to start botting again...leveling alts was the only thing I used the bot for and also some garrison stuff.

I don't think I can play WoW anymore without botting. Atleast leveling alts. There is no freaking way I will pay 50 bucks to boost a toon up to 90 even...I love alts. But I don't have the time to sit and spend half my life leveling them. If this game keeps exsisting for another 10 years. Blizzard will have to find a different way to skip a big part of the levling content. Cause I doubt that there are many out there that will lay down 50 bucks for a boost.

Botting was the only thing that kept me playing. Without botting this game is dead to me.

Btw, off-topic question. But how is it even possible to run 10 WoW accounts on the same computer? Mine wouldn't even be able to handle that. I already have issues with 2. That's why I used my laptop and PC.
