On November 13, 2017 I accidentally sent 10 ETH to my ETC wallet – this is a common mistake.
That is not a common mistake. Every exchange advice you to send right coins to the right wallet and also warns you the coins will be lost forever if you do. Now, I'm not technically aware what happens when you send a coin to a wrong address but do you think it's recoverable? What are you expecting the support to do? Do they have a way of getting those ETH back?

Here are some exchanges that state that the ETH is recoverable:

https://support.binance.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003798612-Deposited-wrong-coins
https://support.hitbtc.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005447669-Recovery-of-mistakenly-sent-deposits
https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000961172-Bittrex-s-Crosschain-Recovery-Policy

here are some posts by users that got their ETH back:

They can get it back if they want but why would they when they can just keep all 10 ETH

understandable , but these exchanges aren't yobit
since you are doing the research here in the forums you should had seen that many people have different kind of coins stuck in yobit even they did the right transaction to the right wallet

in your case you just gave one of the shadiest exchanges a reason to scam you and I'm afraid there is nothing that can help you if their support didn't help you
just forget about the coins and move on cause yobit doesn't care about one more negative feedback
