Banned from WoW, When should I appeal?

[Paszo]

My wow account got perm banned, how long should I wait to appeal? I got banned for a lot of reports for saying stuff like "Dont suck dick pls" in chat. Would I have a chance to get a unban since I didn't use any bots?

I got 12 accounts perma banned for mount/achievement duping. I remember I had appealed immediately and also after a month or so and they would always tell me something "really ugly" happened with the account and I'd never seen it unbanned. I tried Sephiroth's unban and also changed my IP a couple times in between appeals, but nothing really worked.

What got me unbanned was a mix of lucky events. Basically, I had xferred my main character across multiple accounts and one of the first accounts in the chain wasn't banned. So I opened a ticket on it saying I had just recovered access and then asked them about my main character. They said the character was on another account, a banned one, and that they would be able to reverse the transfers all the way back to the first account. The GM started reversing the xfers and along the way he "lost" my character. Since the Customer Support hours was over by then, he gave up and ended up giving me a free level 90. The next day I found my character in one of the accounts in the chain - an account without appeals. So I played the same story, said I just recovered the account, etc, and the GM believed me and said "We're still investigating this 'group' that hacked your account, but until then I can unlock it for you to play". He unbanned the account with my main character and I immediately transferred it to another fresh account - again duping achievs/mounts. This all happened 9 months after the bans.

That's basically it... a series of lucky events, but I do think that waiting out at least 6 months before you appeal and the story you play are crucial in getting it back.

Anyone else with some tips?

If you got hit in this Rebot ban wave then there is little you can do.

I didn't use any bots to get banned, I got banned from excessive reports about trolling.

In my personal experience, you don't get banned for trolling. You get banned for stupid spam or for racial/religious/sexist/xenophobic comments.

If that is the case and you have 3 or more suspensions in the past you are ****...

Anyway, try to appeal asap. 1-2 days later tops.

What do you mean 3 or more suspensions? Like perm bans?
I don't feel like appealing now because mostly they ignore them the first few and they feel you're not worthy to get unbanned at the moment.

I mean 12, 24, 48, 72 suspensions. And the gms that review appeals have nothing to do with the ones that ban you. So you can appeal any moment. If you really eant your account back you can try any unban service. Like Sephiro's one.

I use a VPN every once in a while so it might be related to my success. I waited a couple months to appeal a ban saying I was hacked and it worked.
" I haven't played in a while when I came back my account was locked I think my computer may of been hacked. My bank froze my account due to attempts to access it aswell. bla bla. "

I don't think the "hack" story would work in my situation.

Would playing other games such as Hearthstone ruin the appeal somehow?

anyone????

No, playing their other games won't affect your appeal, they probably won't even know you're playing them.

Do you think I should wait it out then appeal?

Wait what out? Is it a temporary ban or a permanent one? If it's temporary you should just wait it out, if it's permanent you should just appeal now.
