Is this really bannable??

Blizzard always supplies the reason for the ban in the email they send you. For whatever reason twinks were falsely flagged(of course some not falsely), thankfully most seem to have their accounts back. But it had nothing to do with any macro, addon or whatever. Generally, they just hotfix those to not work anymore or fix them and give a slap on the hand 4 day ban. Below is what's covered in the bans people received.

Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs (Hacks)​

Yet another cheating related WoW ban. This originates from any other software that interferes with WoW and is seen as a cheat. Even if it’s not one.

Here’s its confirmation email:

Account Action: Account Closure
Offense: Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs (Hacks)
This account was closed for use of unauthorized cheat programs, also known as hacks or bots.
Blizzard Entertainment.

So, just like the above WoW ban reasons, this happens due to cheating detection (bots, hacks, rotation helpers, etc.). But, Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs also happens due to:

• multiboxing software (which is now against the rules);
• character model changers (tMorph, jMorph, iMorph, etc.);
• ConsolePort (albeit as a false positive);
• coding software and automation tools.

Well I'd like to know where they've found those on my pc, they could have come in handy!

Seriously though I'd never have anything like that and risk my 20 year old account that I've put actual years of playtime and money into.

I was even too scared to use the xpdebuff macro incase it got flagged as cheating. Gathered they wouldn't go to this much trouble to find people who simply just used in-game sign up mechanics.

My latest (4th) ticket is now over a day old without response, I think they are fed up with me now

Yeah, like i said, for some reason we generated a lot of false positives. I have no doubt you didn't do anything like that since you are still fighting to get your account back.
Sorry you got caught up in this, i got caught up in a 4 day ban 6 months ago or so. It wore me out with all the wow players saying you know what you did, you deserve to be banned! Still no idea what i did.
