Did you buy/sell Gold?
Of course not.


Was that account hacked?
Unlikely. Never shared the account information with anyone and I use strong passwords.

you posted in other threads on this forum that you are using several WoW clients on one machine, using Autohotkey to send keystrokes to the inactive windows.
Yes, at one point I was using that setup. However, I switched to the vetra-5 machine solution. So at the time, I was 100% legit. Though, if they were back logged in their bannings, perhaps that could be it. But why only 1 account? Doesn't make sense?



identified as exploiting a known dupe bug that they're actively investigating
Actually, this might be it. A couples days before the banning, I was trying to send some items to a mule. For some reason, it kept erroring and said that the character could not be found. However, on the other characters, I could send the items to the mule. So, I simply traded the items to the other character and mailed it that way.

The ODD thing is, all the items I tried to send were sent back to bugged character...a few times over....And this is the character/account that got banned.

Could this be it? I did not intentionally try to exploit any known bug. All the duped items were low level food stuff. I just shrugged and moved on. Perhaps that is why I got banned.

I guess if I were try to argue with them, it would be fruitless. How does one differentiate the honest people accidentally duping a couple items and a person that does it on purpose?

I still have not heard back from Blizzard. Hopefully, it will be this week.

I tried contacting a GM and asking why they banned my other account. They said they are not permitted to talk about other accounts, even if I own them...for safetey reasons.
