when permabanned and then unbanned..

[durbobotter]

the question is if you get permabanned for farming herbs and ore daily for some time and you earn 100k+ gold and get your account back by appeal do you still have your gold or will blizzard remove all your gold? just thinking if its worth it to appeal. account itself isnt worth that much to me because im not going to use it for botting anymore.

Gold should be there, I've never heard of an example when it hasn't been there after overturning a ban.

btw is it likely to get account unbanned that is obviously made only for botting? how likely is that and what should i tell them when i appeal?

From my experience,

After two successful appeals (same WoW, same Bnet), all I can impart is that sincere appeals worked for me. I do not believe for one second that I could have appealed successfully the second time without a genuine heartfelt plea based on what the account meant to me. I am in marketing, that's my profession, so perhaps my bias is skewed but I believe that most people need a story -be it an interview or a GM reading an appeal ticket -and without it I doubt a GM is going to restore an account whose sole purpose looks to have been botting.

TLDR -yes, I believe an account that is obviously botting (and only botting) is going to be less likely appealed once banned.
