3: I got Banned

5: Well i just got a ban today out of nowhere for using bot. No warns ever, never used it for other than raiding.. Soo ^^'

Seems like they targeted pqr specifically. Every single post on here mentioned pqr, except for one user who claims he only had pqi. They seem to have been monitoring for a while now so it would seem that one user did have pqr at some point. (What sense is having PQI without pqr?)

[antimonyfunk]

1: US
2: PQR
3: 72 hour suspension
4: PC
5: Used mostly resto and boomkin druid profiles, but also ele shaman and mistweaver monk as well. Hopefully Xelper/et. al. can fix this, because trying to keep up was tiresome and now I'm not sure I can go back to raiding and do just as well without it.

<headscratch> Why would you have PQI without PQR... makes no sense

Sense being that pqi is an addon and pqr is a program and due to not playing for a few months when I came back to the game pqi was enabled in addons but pqr was not running. I didnt use pqr all the time just when leveling alts since Ive already leveled many many many times so I dont believe the pick up 10 of this and kill 99 of that is fun after a certain amount. When I play on my main I dont use the program but never worried about the addon being on.

Its a long ongoing thing they must have been doing since the success of pqr and its growth. I can honestly say I have not had pqr on in 2 months or more since I leveled my last char.

[BigDaddyOgre]

But that's the point Jubalee... you *did* use PQR at some point in the past few months (remember they have a wide "check window") so... unless you NEVER used PQR (in which case PQI would really make absolutely no sense) then that's Sheep (and my) point.
