I seriously regret to inform you all that i will not be able to make ANY, yes ANY of the runs i have signed up for lately, as my account has been (seemingly permanently) banned.
I got smacked in the face with the "ban stick" Tuesday the 14th (yesterday) for "using unauthorized third-party software." However, in my own defense, i had not used the program at all with Eyeshark. I never even downloaded it until after he was well into level 60. I got this program because it looked like an amazing piece of software (which it was) and i am just into that shit. I only used it because of my natural curiosity to see what it could do, not really for any gain, and only on a lowbie alt of mine. But i knew risks were involved. That is probably one of the reasons i stopped using it after only a short time, because i did not want to risk my baby... my main man i worked so hard to progress in both levels and, sadly, PvP ranks.
I got smacked with this ban the very same day i finally reached rank 10, even had to time buy my shoulders and helm (and by this time i had months since stopped using this program).
I am telling you all this not knowing any of your stances on the whole matter. I just feel that it is appropriate for me to "come clean" so to speak of why Eyeshark dropped off the face of the World of Warcraft on Tuesday, November 14th.
I really hope that something like this does not strike a nerve with anyone (other than myself). Because if i cannot successfully plead my case to blizzard to recover my precious account, i will probably start from scratch, and on Eitrigg.
There is no other guild i would rather blast through The Burning Crusade with and i hope that when i make a new baby account that i am still welcome among the ranks of some of the finest assholes and sluts i have ever had the pleasure of playing an MMO with: then men and women (and other) of Victorious Secret.
Now it seems i have some leveling ahead of me to hit 60 before the expansion...
oh the humanity! ><
Sincerely,
Brian (eyeshark - lvl 60 Hunter extraordinaire - R.I.P.)

That's terrible Eyeshark. Particularly frustrating given it's for something that happened a while ago. Kind of speaks to Blizzard's seeming reluctance to clean up the servers of gold sellers and the like - ya, we'll get around to it when we feel like it.

glider or some such?
I don't really have a problem with macroing, if it's attended. Leaving it running mindlessly while you are out actually having a life is wrong! I don't think that was your case though.
I don't think anyone here will condemn you for it, hopefully you can get eye back! If not... remember we do need more priests.

:'( When did this happen? I'm your roomate for god sakes. ;D
All I can say is I told you so! ha(j/k) But seriously, it's a shame that their are people that use it to farm gold and to power level and they never get caught but you just harmlessly use it and get the ban.
And shut up papaw, you hillbilly! :P

What program was it?
It was WoW Glider. Basically this program would simulate input from the keyboard and mouse instead of manipulating the actual game itself. really a very neat program, though not at all worth the trouble. ><
Look on the bright side: We can all level our new BC alts with you!
while i definitely look forward to doing some leveling with you all, it will be pre-bc... i mean i gotta get back to 60!

agreed. hopefully i will be able to get by with only a temporary suspension. but from what i read on the forums its not likely. Apparently blizz just found some sort of signature of use in their back-logs and was just building up till they could hit everyone at once. i read about lots of people who had 2 separate accounts and had both banned yesterday even though they only used glider on one. They probably just searched everyone's system directories.
:'(
i only hope that your account is still in tact. i haven't seen you since it happend and wouldn't put it past blizz to ban my entire network. i would feel like such a rat turd :(
Oh no! I'm going to miss the Eye!! (at least the waters are safe once again ;))
Hope it works out for you. And if not, I'm looking forward to still seeing you around with a new lowbie toon :)

Moots said you were an add-on freak but I didn't realize just how far the disease had spread. I also will be available to help level and twink your new baby when he is born.

I'm really sorry to hear that Eye.
I used a bot program in AC2 to set up a healer in our Allegience hall. He accepted donations that were dropped in front of him and I would occasionally come home at night to find that he had snagged all the stuff that some poor sucker had drop-muled too close to him.
Best of luck getting the shark back in the water!

Luv you too, My find Bama Friend. Wouldn't have you all any other way. Of course if someone messes with the South..they would have a whole can of whoop-ass of redneckers coming down on them like fly on shit.
Again Eyeshark, tough break there. See you on soon.
