I've seen 2 people claim to be banned for Sarkoth AutoIt. Considering the large amount of people using this method, I'm skeptical.

Well i just got banned and all i used what gear switching script.
I thought Blizzard doesn't ban gearswap.
Using IB 20 hours per day, 14 Accounts running on Core . Started botting 12 days ago and haven't received any ban on all my 14 accounts.
So what's the common denominator between all the sarkoth bots being banned? I know I didn't bot at all last week and on Saturday night I botted for ~8 hours, Sunday ~ 8 hours, Monday ~ 8 hours, Tuesday I didn't bot during the day because of the patch and I turned it on at night, but my computer restarted to install a windows update so I didn't bot hardly at all. Wednesday I botted ~ 8 hours and my bot was online and running when the banwave hit. I have not been banned yet.
I personally was spared from this latest banwave, but my roommate was not who was using my private autoit script.
The Autoit script did not use any DLL's, the only thing my script used was a pixel color detection, Send command, and Mouse clicks.
Luckily my account was spared (so far, but I have stopped the script since), but his was not for using the exact same script during the exact same time frame. (he got banned overnight last night)
note we have been running it close to 24/7 for 2 weeks now.

It would be interesting to know if anyone got banned *without* ever triggering the input limit reached warning. I know both my banned accounts triggered it several times while I was testing for frequency boundaries.
Just to check, did anyone who was banned have a + Battle.net balance in their account after the RMAH came on? Does that get wiped?Haven't seen a reply to this yet, any response?
As far as I've seen (read on many forums), they do NOT wipe your battle net balance, since that could trigger multiple law issues for them, and you can use it later again.
Also, if you have multiple game accounts (for example, 3xWoW, 1x SC II, 1xDiablo 2, and Diablo 3) and you get caught cheating on 1 of these accounts, they only ban that account, not whole battle.net account.

Just buy 10000 items at once and you'll get the input limit. it's just a throttle for the AH to make sure people aren't trying to spam the server with transactions.
