Just got an email I got banned for botting. wtf?

I thought they have to catch you in the act?
 
They can ban you whenever they want they don't have to do anything.
 
my brother's 2 accounts got banned today. he never use that account since banwave last 12-12-12, my guess they were flagged long time ago or just really unlucky.
 
I'd say 12-12-12 was a testing stage to see if their new algorithm is working and is banning the correct players. They had to test it in a small pool of players first to get some feedback.

Once that was successful, they ran it in full KAMIKAZE mode. =)

And surprisingly didn't catch my new bot. Rock on xxxx2!!
 
Blizzard sells an item in their internet shop. It's named, the "SteelSeries Diablo III Gaming Mouse" (Blizzard Store). It requires a 2nd party software to run in the background of the game to allow mapping of the multi-macroable buttons from the hardware into the Diablo 3 game. Should this product raise flags for suspensions and bans, just as much as demonbuddy. Blizzard's 2nd party hardware and software seem to be legal in their perspective. This sounds a little like an illegal monopoly. Maybe there is a US antitrust law that can be used against Blizzard, for illegally monopolizing the D3 market? When Blizzard decided to opened up the RMAH, they blatantly opened up a real money economy, which in this case opens the right for any person/organization to compete in that economy. I'm not saying that Botting is an ethical economic method to compete, but even USA corporations outsource American jobs to India & China to import products back to the US show bad ethics as well.

It use to be, "Just a game", but when you involve "Real Money", it's no longer, "Just a game".

Blizzard should be wearing their tinfoil hats!

BTW: I don't bot D3, but have friends who do, and they seem to have lost quite a bit of money from these ban waves. "You are innocent until proven guilty", if you are claimed to have been proven guilty by ban, "You have the right to discovery" where Blizzard must disclose, upon request, all that they intends to present as proof of your guilt. That include details from Blizzard on their method and evidence used to track each BANNED account. This would be a very interesting case; too bad I'm not a licensed lawyer yet.

It is because the software is sanctioned by Blizzard/Activision lol... Huge difference between this and a 3rd party source such as Demonbuddy. Hell, technically speaking, loot alert is a banable offense as well. Also, Blizzard owns the virtual rights to the game itself. If they choose to ban you, they technically could do so at the drop of a hat. I don't really see much of an interesting case lol.

The original and wave the newest one actually banned people with legit accounts that were flagged as botters. Courtesies, Activion/Blizzard Entertainment - trolol.
 
Lost 3 accounts while leveling on clean IP.

They were 2 days old.

That's pretty hard dude :(

Leveling on a clean IP -- as in you were not botting on the accounts?

Every new batch of bots (from 3 to 24) get a new unique IP.

That was the start of an attempt to recover dude ...

This is not business at all.

I guarantee there are Blizzard moles on these forums reading this, right now, trying to scare people away from their rights. Because Blizzard opened a RMAH, it's going to kick them in the ASS with lawsuits. They should have left the real money economy on eBay, that way they wouldn't need to worry about Business law. Each Blizzard account is considered a personal business, and they must treat each account as such, therefore taxes must be paid by Blizzard and the users. Blizzard is not going to win this battle.
