      Hello

      I've recieved whispers that a guy has reported me, and got 3 other people to report me aswell for botting.

      I've been using a profile with Professionbuddy to post gems uncut/cut/flasks on the AH, and I've done it for 12 hours straight.

      Now my question is, how could I proceed with this?
      As soon as I recieved his whispers, i replied him back with saying wtf he was talking about.

      Should i boycut my profile for a few days? Stop botting? Login and play manually for some hours?

      What would you guys suggest?

      Sincerly

      Always mix it up. Do a bg, do an instance, spam /2 a little. Act humane. But if you repied to him instantly im sure he didnt even report you. The whisper is a test to see if your there (why else would they whisper?)

      If they actually did report you, you're too late and you're already screwed. The ban may not come soon, but you're screwed nonetheless.

      If people noticed you're botting using an AH profile, you're doing something very wrong....My guess is people you're undercutting or competing with saw your large number of auctions and put 2 and 2 together.

      IMO, the only thing less safe than running gatherbuddy for hours on end is undercutting people on the AH in extremely competitive markets. The AH would be about the easiest thing in the world to track in catching botters, and a lot of gatherbuddy bans are probably due to large number of auctions on the AH at once.

      Put in a personal GM ticket (better to have a friend do it) stating that The Users who did report you are agitated players whom you were in your guild (party, raid, w/e). and they are doing whatever to get you banned based on a personal grudge due to drama w/e sounds legit. I've done this before, except i was being reported by user who snooped on a private voice chat off game and got gkicked for being a bad player and wanted to get some revenge on who ever he could.

      Except tracking auction trends is all they would need to prove that the reports they sent in were true. Pretty easy to review chat and log files and see that you've had no interaction other than saying "wtf are you talking about" to another player.

      Blizzard reps have heard every excuse in the book these days.
