Please tell me why my Account was banned?

[Optilasgar]

Hello,
the Account of my Level 60 Human Paladin "Optilasgar" (the Account i am writing this post on) was permanently banned while i was logged in, participating in an Alterac Valley battleground.

I have never received any kind of account warning before, am practically living ingame (75+ days played) and am actively streaming on twitch.tv/optilagar (gained over 600 followers on twitch from playing on Nostalrius alone) and got at least 1/3 of our german only guild to play on the server at all via the stream.

Swift Review / Help would be much apreciated, as Nostalrius is practically 100% of my free time.

Greetings,

your account was banned for botting.

The GM team.

I have never, and would never bot. This account has been pretty much my entire life for the past 9 months and i would never do anything to jeopardize it, least of all botting.

In my spare time i have pretty much nothing better to do than actively playing on the account, which i was doing at the time of the ban - myself - without any form of automation.

I was not contacted by any Server Staff but simply disconnected from the BG and when i tried to log back in i was banned.

I would like to humbly request server staff to re-examine whatever evidence you think may have pointed to the assumption i was botting, because i can only repeat to asure you, that i was not.

Check the Retribution Gear my Paladin posesses (should be among the top of the entire server) aswell as the inventory/bags of of my bank alt "Buffstuff" which has most of the materials to Craft Sulfuron Hammer for the Sulfuras i am in the Process of Making (Eye dropped some weeks ago).

Why would i risk any of that with botting? - Answer is: i wouldn't & i havn't.

Kings honor friend i've seen you afk anchoring st alot

[Optilasgar]

Shirley, i don't see how defending positions in Arathi has anything to do with being banned in Alterac Valley. Also if you aledge i AFK, shouldn't i be banned for AFKing instead of botting?

I was fishing in a turtle AV to get fishing up for ZG on sunday, like 2-3 other players were aswell. We chatted about that, we killed horde who bothered us, we left those alone who didn't, i even rezzed a hunter who died there and was AFK to take the rez for a while and whispered him to take the rez.

This has nothing to do with botting, and i simply don't understand why i get permabanned out of the blue with never in 9 months getting a single warning saying i am doing anything wrong, or a GM even ever whispering me once unless i myself have opened a ticket and the GM is merely responding to it.

Not a single word, not a single warning, not a tempban, just permaban as the very first interaction?

good morning lads and gents


I don't want to be rude, is there any proof of the fact that optilasgar is/was botting? Is this just some random judgement like " i don't like paladins at all, look he is using a fishing pole lets ban him" ? I have heard many storys about "botting" on this server, you can also see videos about interrogation on players. Why isn't it happend here? Again i do not want to be disrespectful, i'm just puzzled. Any anwser would be nice..

greetings~

Greetings,

we don't give out details. Sufficient to say that the character in question was using automation to fish.

The GM team.

Greetings,

after reviewing your case, you are being unbanned and instead will receive a warning for being AFK inside a battleground. Our apologies for being bit too hasty in this case.

The GM team.

Can I be unbanned now to for not doing anything wrong? Tis the season and all...
