Fair call if that is the case.
As many others have said, phone is going to be your best option.
Actually, I think they changed their phone system to where, now, you almost always get an automated thing. I would still call, but I would also continue e-mailing them. No more tickets.
Also, to everyone else, I THINK you can possibly still put in a ticket thru the wow site. Not sure though.
15 minutes must be the fastest GM response to a ticket in the history of Warcraft.
I've had a response within 2 minutes, once.
Edit: A few more things. Before you actually get your account back, I would make sure your entire computer is "clean". Set up a e-mail that you use for NOTHING but battle.net, and make sure the passwords you use for your main e-mail, WoW, and the battle.net e-mail are all completely different. IF you DO get your account back, I would also invest in an authenticator if you don't already have one.

I've been playing WoW since vanilla and I have NEVER EVER heard of an appeal of a suspension/ban/deletion succeeding. I'm certain that they don't even read the appeals and just have an auto-reply that rejects the appeal.
Except, of course, when I was banned for supposed tampering with the economy, sent an email and was back within a week.
Guess you've heard of one now, haven't you?

If he's like everyone else who's "never heard of" something, then the answer will still be no because you don't actually exist and your experiences are therefore complete fiction.

Wait, I thought I was headed to Camp Half Blood. EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE.

Which falls into your own opinion then; I have been banned due to a hack, but I got my account back....as have numerous others; so unless the world is united in trolling you, it's your opinion against the facts.

Option (a) He succeeded in his appeal, even though NO ONE succeeds in an appeal of a ban. EVER.
Option (b) He's trolling, in a forum where trolls outnumber sincere posters why a gazillion to one.
I'm going with option (b) - I simply do not believe him.
Everything said in this entire thread is unsubstantiated anecdote. So let me give you two options:
a) You discuss this like a grown up.
b) You stop posting.
You don't have to address someone who challenges what you say but I won't stand for you saying the forum is full of trolls just so you can side-step a criticism.
There's no data here just people disgruntled with the service they've received. I'm very sympathetic to that but it's no excuse for petty arguments on Wowhead's forums and certainly not for insulting the Wowhead forum's entire user-base.
Just to post on topic with my own anecdote, I played from 2004 right through to MoP and never had a single issue with hacking or with GMs/Blizzard. I just quietly got on with playing the game with my friends.

after all, like i said i still stand by my original guess which has 99% of ensurance equal to evidences. for more provement let take a look overall, 1. blizzard can ban who ever they want when ever they want : may be most stupid rule for paid online games to put in Terms of use. 2.blizz says u did smt and we have evidences, but we can not tell u what u have done ! totally nonsense 3. they know there are hacks into their games like multiboxes and they have put an option to report them for cheating or multiboxing when ur right click on their portait, and they still resist SO HARD that even if such thing has happened , my account was hacked. they think they are invulenerable, for real? 4.even if i have done such things, like traded alot of gold or sold gold or powerleveled, in real world, punishment shall be to ban a 5 years old account just for 1 mistake for REAL EVER ? and no warning at all?no chances etc?
1. It's their game, they can do what they want. We just pay to play on their servers.
2. Like I said twice in this thread, they won't show you because it can possibly lead to ways for hackers and whatnot to get around their system.
3. Multiboxing is not a hax or a cheat, it is a legitimate way to play the game. There is an entire thread about it, and in it there are tons of post about it. If you wish to know more, I suggest you find it and read about it.
4. The amount of years you spent has nothing to do. I have gotten warnings before. But if you get caught buying/selling gold, there is no leeway as it is a major offense. That's like saying " I went to church for 40 years, donated tons if money to charity, and am an all around good person. Can't you just warn me not to drive drunk instead of arresting me?"
As for: dude, thanks alot for ur efforts and concern, but my purpose of making this topic is not unbaning my account or recieving helps, i am 99% sure of wht i said. and my account is banned but i can log into battle.net obviously so i dont have any translation problems.
So you only made this thread to complain about a ban? If that's the case then it should have been locked from the start.

3. they know there are hacks into their games like multiboxes and they have put an option to report them for cheating or multiboxing when ur right click on their portait, and they still resist SO HARD that even if such thing has happened , my account was hacked. they think they are invulenerable, for realMulti-boxing is not hacking; that's using a third party system to play multiple accounts at once. Please learn your terms. And technically, yes they are 'invulnerable', just like any large company is.
4.even if i have done such things, like traded alot of gold or sold gold or powerleveled, in real world, punishment shall be to ban a 5 years old account just for 1 mistake for REAL EVER ? and no warning at all?no chances etc?Yes; because those types of things are against Blizzard's TOS. If you are, let's say dumb enough to do those things, and you get caught, it's your own fault, same as cheating in any other game/sport would be.

The age of the account does not matter; just because someone has been playing since day one does not make their account any more special then someone who picked up the game two days ago. If you are doing something that is against the Terms of Service, or you were hacked and someone is doing something wrong on your account, the lock should come down. You can appeal to get the account unlocked; if you really don't want the ban to go away, then it's time to give up the game, say thanks for the memories and walk away.

WoW not the only game to have that policy. There are several others that have all the rights to ban whoever they want. I know Runescape has it because someone I know wanted to buy gold and his account got banned.
How do you know it was the advertising that got it banned? It could have been any number of things. And they like to keep quite about what exactly triggers they system.
You pointed out the going to church part, but what about the other examples I gave? You can surely tell if someone donates a lot if time and money to helping others. But if that person does something wrong, the things that came before hand shouldn't have influence on what happened then.
It doesn't matter if the account was made 5 years or 5 weeks ago, they all should be set against the same standards.
To me, it sounds like complaining. There is nothing to warn as it doesn't happen all that often. The statement that it happens to everyone is false as asakawa never had it happen, and several IRL friends have never had it happen to them either.
But Blizzard doesn't go around banning characters because they feel like it.

If you were trying to control the AH market by buying really, really large quantities of things and reposting them at ridiculous prices, that might do it. If you were farming a certain item and put huge quantities of it up for sale that might have raised suspicions.
Wait, that's illegal? Seriously? And so is scamming people with in-game lotteries? So selling fortune cards is against the ToS?
Wow, I guess I'm too used to Eve these days. Blizzard seems... extremely defensive of some game elements, that they frankly shouldn't touch. If people waste gold on Fortune Cards, that's their problem. If people want to waste money on a supposed "lottery", that's their problem. If someone attempts to take control of the auction house, then let them.
Why regulate such things?
To stick to the topic, I have had 1 ban. I supposedly used a botting program, while sending large amounts of gold to another character. It was during a small dead-period of 5 days without play, in which it turned out I HAD been playing, somehow. I had gotten hacked, and then gotten permabanned. One phone call and I had my account back. They can track IPs, so if you have suddenly logged in somewhere in another country, it's pretty obvious that you just got hacked.

Maybe you are right...however, I've been playing since the tail end of Vanilla and I don't think that my long play time means a lick in regards to how Blizzard should respond to me if I was doing something that is illegal in game. I've always been one of those who applaud them when Blizzard slams the banhammer onto botters, exploiters, the more vicious trolls and the like.
So if this is really all just a misunderstanding, just contact your local Blizzard headquarters tomorrow and get it all resolved rather then acting like there is some grand conspiracy at work: There isn't.

Pretty much sums it up.
OP...maybe you just got a GM having a bad day or a newly hired GM who is going strictly by the book, which is typical of employees in any business. They are human too.
Call and maybe you will get a GM having a good day and put this all behind you.
