This is my third banwave now, and every time I get perma ban even though by botting standards i "play it safe". I got done for Glider way back in the day, then HB and now PQR. I used bots for rotations only, occasionally to disenchant / prospect stuff. I was always present when I had the bot running, never did PVP and never flooded the AH or anything stupid like that. Dispite all of this, perma ban each time, and no luck with appeals.
If you care about your account, don't bot at all.
After a few tickets back and forth I got my permanent ban down to a 72h suspension instead by the looks of it. Can anyone else confirm this?
I filed an appeal but didn't get a reply (it's been 24 hrs or more).
They answered and said due to the "severity" of the offense it was permanent. I know someone who botted constantly who only got 72 hours, so go figure.

i will attempt a new ticket in ~2 weeks, which will be a very very long ticket including
"i could not log into my wow acc, because it says its locked"
"havent played for months"
"checked my email which was registerd on the wow account"
"could not enter my email"
"so i assumed i got hacked"
"so i made a keyloggerscan"
"and i found <insertpopularkeyloggernamefoundatgoogle>"
"and i removed the keylogger"
"and changed email password after a call to <inserttheproviderofmyemail>
"i entered my email an everything was deleted"
"so i entered battle.net so figure out what was happening and i see that one account is banned, so i click on it and it says "pls send in verification ID" (this is always standing there)"
"so iam here now to ask you if you an recent picture of my passport is enough to get everything fixed"
the method "i got hacked" is basically the only method which would work, but it will be only successful if someelse logged in from a different PC, well atleast i did it sometimes with another IP, so maybe i have a change
i will completly ignore my appeals and the "excuses" i wrote there, because they wont remember/read it anyway and if they do, who cares

It looks like I pissed them off this time. I'll send a few more, I sent 7-8 on my other account they told me "we will not reply to any future tickets"We hope this message finds you well.
We have checked your account again and while you think our action has been harsh, you did use third party programs on your WoW account on more than 1 occasion.
We have banned your WoW account because you have insisted on using third party programs repeatedly and we will not be able to remove this ban or change it.
Thank you for your time for now, please contact us again if you need help with another topic.
