To appeal or not to appeal?

Hey guys I've been using honor buddy for about a week now keeping the hours to what I've done for the past 5 years of playing wow ( about 4-6 hours a day ) I was running kicks profile in deepholme and questing I monitored it every hour or so and as far as I'm aware it ran Into no problems. Yesterday I received an email with a ban for 72 hours for as they put it hacking, I hadn't botted that day at all and used it the previous day my ban runs out Friday at 14:00 my question is, is it worth ever appealing these bans or should I just accept it and wait it out?

I'd say be grateful they didn't perm-ban you straight away and wait it out.

A full ban is always worth the effort to appeal .. I wouldn't risk a full account investigation just because I can't play for a few days.

Depends on how much the account is worth to you. I got a 72 hour ban, appealed, ban and warning was lifted, got a perm ban afew weeks later, had it overturned into a 72 hour ban. On another account where I didn't appeal the first 72 hours the perm ban stuck. In the end it all comes down to the game master that's on your case, but having no previous ban & warning (i.e. a full overturn via appeal) always looks better than doing nothing.

well I've never been banned or had any previous warning, this is the first time i've ever been caught so should i appeal and if so what is a right response to say, do i say i have not botted or used any cheats at all and try to deny it all or do i just sit through the ban which could make me look more guilty because lets be honest if anyone not using a bot got a 72 hour ban they would appeal straight away so its a tough one do i make myself look guilty by not appealing or do i appeal and deny everything?

You're communicating with a person, so it very much depends on that persons mood. There is no definitive answer to your question. Make the decision yourself, we can only give you input on how it went down on our side.
Personally, I would appeal everything. But then again I don't really care about the accounts - if I loose it, Ill bot another one up...
