Some Advice please.

[Generaldark]

I'll just give some backstory,
I got diagnosed with Cancer as i had been feeling really tired all the time, i even stopped playing wow, and i had to take time off work and eventually i had to quit work, its been a nightmare as i had direct debits for things like my Broadband,mobile phone, wow sub, electricity etc etc, and when the direct debits went out and no wages went in it caused me problems in charges, i got into debt blah blah blah and ive been struggling ever since.

I hadnt been playing Wow as the treatment (chemotherapy) made me feel even worse, but i really wanted to play and fill my time a bit, so ill tell you what i did stupid i know but desperate times, desperate measures.

I had no gametime on my main Vanilla Acc with 550 days /played Warlord title (Vanilla and Cata RBG) you get the idea, so for some reason clicked pay with paypal and found out i got a day or 2 while pending, so i was like SWEET! lets go buy a Wow token get some gametime.
I had about 14k gold, and needed 40k so i was like **** it, get the bot out run some firelands trash profile till i have 40k and go and buy a wow token.
Well it was all going well i used the paypal trick 2 or 3 times and got up to 30k gold, then got Banned.

Stupid i know, but tbh with my situation i was at my wits end with not having the money for gametime and went through that mental attitude of '**** it whats the worst that can happen' as i hardly play much anymore.
Permanent Ban thats what can happen, Im not even as bothered as i thought i would be but im 42 now and played since vanilla but ive hardly been playing, im very up and down with my cancer one day ill feel ok have energy and want to play wow the next day i can struggle to get off the sofa, so what i was doing was putting on gametime and i was too ill to play so i started with a free bot to try and make up the lost time when i couldnt play.

Now my question to you guys is do you think i should pay 30 odd Euros for an unbanning service, id definitely pay 30 euro for acc back even though ill struggle to afford it, its just im very worried about wasting 30 euro if the acc cant be unlocked.

Soon as the ban hit me i used a vpn changed my IP to Ukraine logged into my other wow acc, stripped him naked sold all his stuff and made a shit load of level ones called asdwsd and changed my battle net password, then a few days later i reported id been hacked or my 11 year old son had messed around on my account and downloaded something he shouldnt and i told them Teamviewer and a Remote Deamon exe. had been running on the PC. they sent me back the standard response i have to appeal it.

This is the second time ive been banned, i dont know wether to try the appeal myself or pay 30 euro to seph for his unbanning service? what do you guys think?
Oh the other thing, my gaming PC broke think it needs a new motherboard, so i downloaded wow on to a different PC its the one my son uses now my old one and botted from that PC for 2-3 days so i dont know if that makes a difference.
Id be happy if i could get it reduced to 6 months as im gonna buy a battlechest tommoro.

Thats a point anyone know whats the cheapest you can get the battle chest for now?

Thaanks guys and dont be too hard on me lol i know ive been a bit stupid. already beat myself up a bit no need for others to kick me while im down

It sounds like un-banning services aren't working very well in this ban wave

[Generaldark]

I was hoping to try and get it changed to a 6 month ban instead of permanent, that way if my treatment is successful and i want to pick it back up i can, if treatment fails who cares i wont be playing wow lol.

And i was just gonna get a battlechest cheap to mess about with in the meantime.

Are you sure you got perma my account says "banned" but in the email it says I was receiving 6 months.

[jimmyamd]

don't bother with the unbanning services wont work for HB ban wave,

yeh and make sure that you read the email correct, should state 6 month suspension of license and all licenses in battelnet will show up banned from the ban wave.
