World of Warcraft

are curse programmes illegal because i got banned for using third person software

You don't say what 'third party software' you were using that got you banned, was it an add-on or an actual program that ran outside of WoW?

I have used Auctioneer, gatherer and Titan for a long time without any issues and even questhelper lately to help level a couple of new chars quicker and again no problems.

Blizzard are generally ok as long as the software is a compliant add-on that does not automate functionality to give you an advantage over others in the game.

.....and just to clarify, all of the above add-ons were downloaded from Curse.

If it's a program you run while gaming, then it's most likely illegal.

But anything wich you only place to /addons -directory, and won'tt run seperately from the game, should be allowed. And as far as I know, Curse doesn't really spread any botting programs or anything. I'd suggest searching for reason for you ban elsewhere.

...but what add-ons and what reason did Blizzard give for the ban?

I can't say that i have heard of any illegal add-ons from Curse, but i only use a limited amount myself.

Only add-on that ever got anyone banned was not really an add-on. It was an image file editor that caused you to drop through AQ40 and skip bosses and just do Cthun.

There was an issue recently where a bunch of users got banned and they did not know why.  Blizzard aparantly said it was just a mistake on part.  Send a mail to blizzard asking what mod you got banned for.
