This World of Warcraft license has been closed and is no longer available for use

[Sharpmaxim]

Well, I was botting today's noon while sitting behind the PC and minding my own business, when BANG! - the WoW client crashed and I was thrown into the desktop with the error message. Ok, nevermind, I launch the game again - and at the login stage a happy window pops out "error #202 This World of Warcraft license has been closed and is no longer available for use...".
Funny thing is that I've only been botting this account for 2 weeks, only managed to get my toon to 90 about 5 days ago and only used GB for 5 days. Looks like they got me, and damn, it's pretty fast. I only earned like 20k gold by using the AH, so the account didm't even pay off...
Also have no e-mail from Blizzard, the account management page only says the account is closed due to sanctions.
But anyways that was still a great experience. Besides, I purchased this acc. on the official site with Paypal, so once they confirm I am permabanned, I'll just open dispute with paypal and try to get my refund.

Sorry for your lose - next time try to reduce that heavy 10hours daily to something more human, and you will avoid the autoflagging for months!

10hrs is reasonable to a heavy gamer that plays by hand. What puts you in the open is the same path taken over and over again. When I play for that long I usually have my times on just staying idle and AFK.

Sorry about your luck mate, next time mix it up, don't stay in a zone longer then 2 hours without stopping the bot for a reasonable time. Bots don't need sleep and can preform just as fresh at 1 hour as they do at hour 8. Appeal the ban, I can confirm that they check ip activity.

sorry for your lose man, next time try doing 3 sessions 3 hours each with breaks in between. Never use the same path more than once per session.

Ok, got the confirmation from Blizz. The account is permabanned, I will not even argue and ask to restore it. Some useful information for you guys:
One day before account closure I received a whisper in the Jade forest claiming that I am a bot and he will report me. I responded immediately to that whisper with a joke. However, later that evening I had 3 or 4 WoW client crashes. And 2 times the system window on the desktop popped up asking my Admin's privileges to allow battle.net make some changes into my PC. I declined, saind no, I am not allowing the b.net to make changes to my PC.
The next day (i.e. the day I was banned) I just started GB2 and went Jade Forest. During the botting time I also received another b.net admin authorization window. Don't remember if I allowed or declined to make changes to my PC. After that, some hour or two later, my WoW client crashed yet another time. When I launched WoW again and tried to login - I couldn't login due to account being closed.
These crashes could be anything, of cause, as I run multiple programs on my botting PC, some of the programs I use for my freelance work and they load the CPU, so that might cause the crash. However I have never exerienced a single WoW crach in the previous 2 weeks of active using. So, I am not quite sure it's coincidence. Just so you know that if WoW susspiciously crashes couple of times in a row, and you also get b.net authorization request to make changes in the PC - you may be threatened and it's best to lay low or even play manually for a day or two.

If a player wispers me and tells me that i'm botting, I would stop botting for a while.

I tell him/her to fuck off, odds are it's another botter.

What prog were you using to see it wanted to make changes? Zone Alarm?

Really wonder what on earth it was trying to do... authorization request... hmm
