Closed Ban Appeal

All Your Character Names: LuxCor, HastaCor
Last thing you did: farming galloperas
Why do you think you got banned?: I was trying (unsuccessfully) to find someone to do the Zak jump quest for me. Message thoroughly received, I'll do the alt quest. Honestly? I can't drive or get around really due to the reasons I was asking others for helping in the first place, and I really don't have much to do at home.
Ban message when attempting to log in: "Your account has been blocked for using illegal programs or violating the game policy."
What GM banned you (optional):

My main point: I feel like the full length ban for a warning is a bit much.
I'll willingly admit I was attempting to break the rules, but I think the full month long ban when there weren't actually any rules broken is too severe. Obviously I'm biased because I want to get back to playing, but I still think the full month is too long for essentially a warning.

I don't want to sound like I'm trying to get off with no punishment, but I do believe at least shortening the length of the ban would be reasonable.

Also, is my ban from the Royals discord server a month long as well?
