Has anyone elses trial accounts been banned?

[NookROM]

I have been boosting my main accounts characters using four trial accounts, basically multiboxing; my main account on my main monitor and four trial accounts open on my second monitor at the same time. The characters on those accounts are there just for dungeon queues, they sit AFK at the entrance while my main clears it, OBVIOUSLY because I don't have ten arms to move everyone at the same time, and why would I want to if my trial characters cant do things like access mail, warbank, etc. I received an email this morning that one, ONE and ONLY ONE of those four accounts have been banned because there is evidence I'm using a hack. I don't care about the trial account(s) and they can stay banned, because I'm not using hacks at all, and they're disposable so whatever. What does concern me is the possibility of my main accounts also receiving bans, is that possible? And why was only one account banned and not the rest?

Read the email carefully to see if you can figure out what caused the ban. If you just accept the ban, it is basically admitting guilt.
Blizz is unlikely to give you exact specifics because it gives hackers info that allows them to prevent detection in the future.

Without knowing what you did to cause the ban, it seems logical that you could get more bans in the future by repeating the same actions.

Curious. Was it a perma ban or suspension?

the first screenshot was my initial notification that this account was being closed due to finding evidence of "hacking". The second was after I disputed the account closure. I'm sure other people can relate, World of Warcraft is the only game I play, and I have played it for a VERY long time. Long enough to stay a thousand miles away from anything with even the slightest chance of compromising my account(s). It's not this particular account that frustrates me... as I said; this was a throwaway account meant only for filling a spot for dungeon queues. It's the possibility that this could happen to idk, my MAIN account, FOR NO REASON. I'm afraid to even touch the twink i made now, and even more afraid to touch WoW at all

an "account closure", in Blizzards own stupid words

Didn't they ban multiboxing a few years ago?
If you're using a third party program to play characters simultanously, that's probably why.

Or if you were queueing dungeons or doing group content with a setup like the one I mentioned, it's likely that you've been reported or that blizz's anticheat has caught it. (I'm not good with tech terms, so be nice.)

Multiboxing with manual input is not bannable, with windows 11 they have this new window thing when you can match up the size of the windows you have open, and see all the ones you want on your screen without having to click and maximize/minimize, so i have my twink account, the one that is boosting the other accounts, and on my second monitor, i have all my other wow clients (including my main) in windowed mode, and when i need to click something on another client, all i do is take my mouse move it over and manually click whatever i need. No third party software included or even needed.

I will be very nice, thank you for your contribution to this thread, I hope your day has been wonderful

Yep that’s permanent

I pessimisticly think blizzard has adopted a one strike policy against starter edition/f2p accounts

I’ve been seeing account closures on the first offense (even if the offense is debatable)

1. That's handy asf!
2. There should be nothing wrong with that setup. And theres no way you were banned for that in itself!
3. Good luck bud. Hope you find a way to get it resolved
