I'm just wondering what I do next. I got banned a couple weeks ago for botting which I did not do. When I appealed I told them the times I was online and who I was playing with in game as well as other things to prove I wasn't botting. When I asked how I could be botting when I was at work i got no response.
My issue is simple: If this was a system auto generated ban shouldn't a GM take a look into. Instead of just instanly saying im guilty with no real effort to look into the situation. They can see all my playing records I am sure. They can see every playing area, instance, and BG I've been in. If they simply looked they would know I wasn't botting. But the GM simply didn't bother to investigate. Now I have to wait 30 days.
I am simply frustrated and am looking for options. I haven't played since the ban. I am not gonna bother making another account if it'll just get banned randomly after putting time into it. All i can hope for is to reappeal in 30 days and hope I get a better more diligent GM.
Any advice from someone?
What should I do now?
EDIT: How do i get more information on why they banned me. The GM response just says This account was using botting programs on this server. They closed ticket before I can ask for more details as I was not using any programs with WoW aside form addons in game like recount and healbot. Also non of my characters even have any maxed professions to farm for...

You could still be farming mats even if your professions aren't max-level? I don't see how that is an argument for anything.
Either way. If you weren't botting you have my sympathies.
I think a reasonable and fair thing to do is when someone is banned they also get a report on what basis the ban was applied, so for example they could tell you exactly what program they detected that resulted in a ban or something like that.
