So I got an email from Blizzard the other day. My account had been suspended just days before for someone reporting me for using this hack. Anyways, this is an edited copy of the email:
I never contacted them. Within the hour, I got another email,FROM: [email protected]

Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
Please keep in mind that each account is permitted a limited number of instances in which the GM staff may assist with the recovery of virtual property or progress that has been lost. Although we understand that the occasional mistake can be made, we encourage players to exercise caution and minimize such situations to avoid future need of restorations and GM assistance. Restoration of any kind is not guaranteed. While we will make every effort to verify and restore your loss, the decision to go forward with a restoration is entirely at Blizzard's discretion.
For further information please check our Restoration Policy located at (Blizzard Support)
Thank you again for contacting us. We hope you continue to enjoy your experience in World of Warcraft!

Just thought it was interesting that they brought it up again, after 2 weeks. I'm guessing this might mean they have already finished investigating it? But I am not sure. Whatever it is, I've already served my ban time and haven't used the hack since, so I don't think I will be banned, but it really doesn't matter if I am. I have other accounts. Just thought I might share this with you guys and get your ideas on it.Greetings,
Thank you for your follow-up email regarding the account ************. This account was issued a 72-hour suspension after evidence was produced indicating one or more characters on the account were found to be using an unauthorized cheat program. These programs provide character benefits that are not achievable in the World of Warcraft through normal means. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, character automation (also known as "botting"), increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries. These types of programs offer an unfair advantage over other players and supersede the intended limits of the game.
As a result of this determination and the harmful nature of unauthorized programs on the game environment, the action taken against this account will not be reversed. Please understand that we do not reach this decision lightly. This action has been taken in accordance with our Terms of Use (WoW -> Legal -> Terms of Use).
In addition, you are responsible for any unauthorized cheat software found to be running in conjunction with World of Warcraft, regardless of the location and ownership of the computer used to log into the service. Please remember to keep your login information confidential. Any account that is registered to your name may not be shared with anyone except for one minor of whom you are a parent or guardian. The security of your account rests with you.
The recent restoration given to your account was a false positive, and the restoration has been removed. Your account was not accessed by a third party at the time of the account action, and no losses occurred. The restorations included items you removed from your account during normal play. I apologize for the confusion there.
As a reminder, only the Account Administration department can address disputes or questions about this account action. To learn more about how we are able to assist you, please visit us at Blizzard Support. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope we have addressed any concerns you may have had. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance to you.

EDIT: Also, if any of you haven't noticed, Blizzard is updating their terms of service on the 8th of this month. You can view the changes at the Battle.net Account Management page. These new terms go into much greater deals about hacking/botting, so just letting you know.

That I am not sure about, I know when I have received ban emails before they state

So I do not know if it would save your toon or not, but trying it and losing $25 dollars is better than losing your main toon and not try to save it imo.
"A friend in need is a friend indeed, but a friend with weed is better"
"A friend in need is a friend indeed, but a friend with weed is better"
Could i set up a trial account or something and move my toon to there? $150 is a pretty big sum to lose.
What about if i email them, would they answer me with the correct answer? It's pretty dodgy asking them something like:
"If an account is flagged for banning by Warden, can i move a character from that account to a brand new, second account that i just bought to save that character?"
it used to work like that,yes. But no more. My last ban for botting was 2 months ago.
If you are really lucky and only got reported by players, you might get your account back.
But if a GM checked you, they will trace back accounts and ban all/most of them.
I never transferred gold between accounts but 4/5 accounts got banned for it.
Most likely they check ip as well now.
I've 4 accounts, 3 of them are banned for being reporter(one by one). My fourth account works very well while i'm cheating on it. Not sure they trace ip to ban accounts... (I've 8 trials accounts too, which every one are banned, one by one, for being reported for cheating in warsong goulet).
Sorry for my bad english.
