^Ashirgo sorry for the tag but I needed you for the quote.
^VuceRNT, as a game developer myself, I also have bunch of tools for reverse engineering and testing the security of the game I'm working on (that was months ago).
Your ban was issued probably because of the tools you had, I was previously banned from Blizzard for the exact same reason "Exploitation" and nothing more, I wrote a ticket to the support explaining my field of work and the tests that I have.
I had a game developed by Blizzard opened and IDA + CE opened, not even attached to the game and I got hammered within a few hours.
Luckily, a human responded to my e-mail understanding my situation and I got unbanned in 24 hours, nowadays I do those tests on a separate machine because trust me, testing on VM as you mentioned or remote servers won't save you from a ban if you're connected to said machine with LAN or having network connection with them.
Blizzard has banned Jiu bot running on VM, they probably caught you doing the same and thought that you're either botting or trying to gain advantage by RE the client.
Let me know how the ticket to Blizzard goes, cheers.
Pretty sure it has to be this
Also not sure if they still do it but they used to give temp
Bans if you did too many runs in a short amount of time. Farming just trav where you’re gonna do the same exact thing over and over and run quick games flags as a bot. They used to do this in LOD(I don’t play anymore so not sure about d2r) but from what I remember it was never a permanent ban. It just flagged your account and temp banned, worst I got was a 1 week ban for it back in the day, with no 3rd party programs at all. It’s basically their “anti-bot” measure because they can’t actually tell bots apart from people.
