TWO WoW US Account Action Notification -- Exploitative Activity Found

[Phones]

Account Name: WOW2

Account Action: 72 Hour Suspension
Reason for Action: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs ("Hacks")

This suspension happened because one or more characters on this account were identified using an unauthorized cheat program, also known as a "hack.". These programs provide character benefits normally not achievable in the World of Warcraft. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries. Use of these unauthorized programs harm the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and superscede the intended limits of the game.

Even if this is the result of account sharing, the account owner can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.

We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously.

wait the 72 hours ALWAYS WAIT. you dont want an actual human looking at what your account is doing, because its going to be completely obvious what your doing, and get the 72 hour ban changed to a perma ban, all because you couldnt wait a few day.

This seems so odd. I bot with 3 accounts the same amount of time & realm and only 2 got it. So, this was probably a trigger right? I used to bot from 8 to 22, so 14 hours, but I had 2 1 hour breaks so, 12 hours. Doesn't seem much time. Any way, I'll stop botting for a week or two on that two accounts. I just hope if I get perma banned I can reversed, on EU this is easily doable, but on US I never got perma ban. Is it easy to reverse if you only bot 12 hours per day?
