Sort it out Blizzard…
Took a second account out to make summoning locks. Boosted 2 locks to 20 on main account - banned the next day for botting and a quote from your Email:
“We don’t take this decision lightly. Our team issued this closure only after a careful review of relevant evidence. Our support staff will not overturn these closures and may not respond to appeals. For information, see our article:
https://battle.net/support/article/2639”
Clearly you do take it lightly since it is automated and I played legitimately!!! What is even more laughable is you only banned my second account not the main account that was doing the boosting. Not exactly a good way to catch bots and fix the game is it?
Yet… if you type “/who blackrock rogue” and you see on my server 50+ un-guilded rogues in BRD. I wonder what they are doing!!!
Blizzard once again taking automated action to get bots whilst the real bots are sat wrecking the in game economy with impunity.

You forgot to tell about the part where you either botted or bought the booster character to 60.

Yeah, cos everyone buys holy paladins in judgement gear to boost and bot with kekw. its an automated ban, I am assuming because I did too many instances in a short period of time on a new account.
Just appeal it then a real person will look at it. Blizzard are automating so many thing now and their system, to be honest, sucks.
I had one of my characters forcibly renamed and eventually Blizzard admitted there is nothing wrong with the name, someone even stole it afterwards.

SQUELCHED
Many people have been SQUELCHED since they fired 800 employees on their best fiscal year ever.

That’s the holy trinity of how to ruin the sense of immersion in an MMORPG.
Boosting, multiboxing and botting.
And the honourable mention is summoning services and exploiting terrain to safe spot.
Maybe something to take a look at for a future fresh?

i got banned yesterday also , didn’t realize letting a kid play and not performing as well in BGs is subject to a ban!
Is it the fact that non-participation in BGs is punishable, or the fact that you are responisble for your kid’s actions if you let him/her play your account you weren’t aware of? Neither of those are secrets you couldn’t possibly have figured out with common sense, or a simple web search.
I know it’s typical for people not to believe that Blizzard makes mistakes but I’ve been banned for botting once despite never botting once in the 16yrs I’ve played WoW. It took less than 24hrs for a second email to come in with an apology and saying I was unbanned.
Their automated bot-banning system do make mistakes and I don’t think a human is actually involved until you complain about being banned to their customer service.

There is one thing that people overlook about botting, some remote access and remote control software, like realvnc can cause a ban.
Also the ban may not be for you boosting your character OP, it’s probably the ban coincided with you boosting yourself. It could go back weeks or even months.

Did you use a 3d party program like a multibox? (:
It’s because your name starts with an A, the bot banner employee is still working on that letter.
I believe you OP.
I’ve gotten banned before on another game for cheating which I didn’t.
I cheated/botted/exploited on many games but never the one where I was banned.
Mistakes happen, I never got mine resolved but hopefully you will.
And if you don’t, cheer up, wow [REDACTED] anyway lmaoooooo

I wouldn’t mind though if boosters and boosted chars would get a ban…
Though would be easier to just disable boosting in other means,.
Yes this is one of the biggest insults you can give to your players. It’s clearly an automated message from the standard template showing 0 human labour hours were put in your case. Like they’re actually pretending there is a team of people carefully reviewing your case discussing relevant circumstancial evidence and weighing the pro’s and con’s trying to confirm what/if anything happened.
I prefer to get the real message, “our designed algorithm decided that accounts with Y and X factors might be at risk for (insert violation) so we decided to ban the whole list of accounts A-Z who fit that criteria and see which of them might appeal.”

you know? using any 3rd party program that automate your action will result in “banned for botting” even 1KB auto clicker script can lead to “banned for botting”
Translation: I used a multibox software to boost numerous alts through dungeons with my main and I’m just going to mention my 2 “summoners” because it makes a better sob story.
Either use better boxing software next time, or, and here’s the big brain solution, don’t multibox with automating software! It’s against TOS. have a nice day.
They don’t ban that fast. You got banned for something else.
Good to see that those reports work, enjoy your ban

So the ban was lifted (Obviously because I am NOT a botter) but check out the email I got from Blizzard… No apology, no “sorry for any inconveniene caused” nothing other than… “Though the penalty has been lifted please review… FURTHER violations…”
I would have been perfectly happy if you had just said “sorry automated system messed it up” but you basically replied like I did something wrong in the first place… Clearly I didn’t do anything wrong or you would not have lifted the ban!!!
Really poor way to respond to people Blizzard…
