      Take a look yourself, there is NOTHING saying they can ban you for botting, the only thing they can do is if you modify the game files or let somebody else take control of your account (does not say anywhere about 3rd party software doing legitimate things on your account), this is actually pretty interesting and could be used against blizzard if you get banned.

      I might be being dumb and missing something but i don't believe so.

      it states in the tos that they can ban you for no reason, this frees them of any legal dispute because they wanted to ban someone for a good reason but wasn't covered under tos.

      Yea. You don't even "own" your character, you pay for the privilege of renting it basically. They can remove that privilege for any reason at any time.

      1 - They can ban for any reason.
      2 - This paragraph is a terribly example. Read the last part. They cant legally demand that I uninstall and destroy my game discs. At least in my country...

      I is actually pretty interesting because, how on earth could they know if you were botting? I for one never use the BDBuddy and i use the paid for BDfarmer instead and nobody would ever know. Even if bot gets stuck you could just say you left your computer on auto run and it hit a wall?

      For a long time Blizzard (Riot, Trion too) have had ToS in place that consents permission for them to scan both your RAM and CPU Processes. Whilst unlikely that a CPU and / or RAM scan concludes an investigation and is enough to warrant an action (a ban), we know categorically as fact that Blizzard can, have done and will likely continue to exercise this right in the future. What does this mean? Well we can only assume, but perhaps it -in addition to a human investigation -the CPU/RAM scan can verify that there is something (bot or otherwise) accessing WoW in a manner that breaches the ToS.

      There is also the LCP server detection algorithm to identify oft' repeated paths (think hundreds of people using public GatherBuddy profiles).

      Certainly we should assume that Blizzard have a suite of tools available to GMs/investigators (people who look into Player 'Reports') that can help decide whether a user is botting... and I think we can all assume that human element is most likely what 'action' thereafter is to be issued

      Whether you are banned is probably not an automated process (or we'd all be banned instantly). Likewise, whether you are banned is most likely down to the course of an investigation which may or may not look at connected accounts/IPs. Further we do not know if an investigation begins immediately or at an undetermined / predetermined date after the report is made (most likely there is a priority system / queue / workload).

      Critically, we do not know the details of how Blizzard action bans, investigate Reports or what time frame investigations begin -but for gods sake man, do not bot thinking you can get away with:

      , because that is just plain ignorant.

      Exactly!! These are such stupid arguments. Money talks and BSwalks. Blizzard will bury any lawsuit in a team of high priced lawyers and by the time you even make it to a U.S. court WoW will be long gone lol. I don't understand people who deal in hypotheticals.
