Turn off Auctioneer or You Get Zapped!

After more research, I came up with the following from their site. Since I can not play WOW, I have to do something else. So this is what I do. Research.

I noticed that my last realm was Ventrure Company where I began a minor character. In this realm, I did not turn off the auctioneer program. At least, that’s the type of auction program I have using Wowmatrix. I was trying out the program before using it on my other main realm. I have to delete the whatever auction program I have because it seems that it might have set off the security system Warden.

I do remember that I logged out of Venture Company while at the auction house. Maybe this is what the Warden noticed. I went to chat with my wife while my character was at the auction house. I stayed too long to chat. Next thing I know, I was logged off. I read somewhere that this guy was suspended because he was basically watching two screens at his computer. One was set to a movie. And, he was a priest level 26 beating on something lower than him to raise his skill points. From time to time, he would heal himself and beat the char.

CAUTION: Auctioneer. Not to sound the alarm or anything like that. But from my recollection, what happened to me is that I ran auctioneer, and then left and let the system log out of Warcraft. If I were to read the below, this can be construed as data mining of some sort. So for those players who have auctioneer on, leave the auction house with it off before leaving your character to log off automatically.



Unapproved Third Party Software
A third party program is any file or program that is not a part of the World of Warcraft software, but is used to gain an advantage in the game, such as increasing your movement speed or teleporting from one place to another beyond what is allowed by game design. It also includes any programs that obtain information from the game that is not normally available to the regular player or that transmit or modify any of the game files. Normally, this classification does not include UI modifications, except those UIs that require an external application to function. Any external applications that are used in conjunction with World of Warcraft can cause quite a few unwanted side effects. Some of the major possible results of the use of third party programs can be instability of the game to the point that a player "crashes" from the game quite often. External programs can also be used to transmit viruses, spyware, and other unwanted programs into a player's computer. Third party programs can also be used to obtain information from the player's computer, such as account, password, and personal information. If a player is found to have used such a program, he/she may:
_. Be temporarily suspended from the game
Have further action taken, up to and including account closure, based on the intent of the program
