Do you think Blizzard discovered something or are this bans because of the new patch?

[h4x0r]

In my experiance blizzard saves up allot of flagged accounts untill its a big number and then ban them at the same time. I've been botting every day since 2005 and Only have been banned once(Big mmoglider ban December 2006). The only thing that I'm probably doing different from all you guys, is that I dont run my bots 24/7 but only 8 to 12 hours a day.

Yust dont run 24/7 and dont run bg's with the default paths, and your fine

blizz has hit my last 4 90's just a day or so after hitting 90. i dont even farm that much. 4-5 hours in the morning and a couple hours at night. the last char i had on a crazy scheldule set up on Arelog. reason given 'we found third party software on your computer'. so take it with a grain of salt. but its happening.

I think blizzard is starting to use a simular system as they do with Diablo, they see that you are moving to the same coordinates over and over in a pattern and, i was banned for using gatherybuddy using my own very complex profiles for just a few hours a day.

thats not true i use my own made profiles with randomise hotspots on so it takes evrymine herb in that area close to it not one direction and im stil good i just dont bot 24/7

My last ban was due to 'hacks' when ofc i don't use hacks only HB. This was after i moved to a high pop server farming after farming on a low pop server for a year +. GB2 is a big part of the problem due to navigation issues. At least in my particular situation.

When pressed upon the reason for my ban it was the usual "other people have looked into it and concur" blahblahblah

I assume they had player reports from several people, presumably seeing me bashing into trees/rocks over and over, looked at logs from my account and seen a pattern. So, once again, the bot itself isn't detected but behaviour is. You could threaten to get a lawyer involved to force them to show you the actual reason you were banned and how they came to the conclusion you were using hacks/bots but my accounts just aren't worth that much to me.

i wish that was true m8.

looking at your sign, it says netherlands. If i say "schuldsanering" you should know that i wont be back.
The money that a account costs, is what i can spend a week. Hence why i was paying with gold for almost 8 months now.

And if you read again, i wasnt doing bgbuddy, i was doing lazyraider, playing by hand.

I think you're lying about ONLY botting lazyraider. That seems so unlikely I can't even handle it.

Blizzard is a business. They aren't in the business of writing complex algorithms to track 10 million peoples' movement. They're in the business of making and hosting content. They are doing the same thing they've always done -- people report you, it gets reviewed by someone making minimum wage (maybe a little more), and they decide whether you've been botting or not. Then they might save them and bunch up the bans for "waves" (if anything is weird).

Offense: Unapproved Third Party Software

A third party program is any file or program that is not a part of the World of Warcraft software, but is used to gain an advantage in the game, such as increasing your movement speed or teleporting from one place to another beyond what is allowed by game design. It also includes any programs that obtain information from the game that is not normally available to the regular player or that transmit or modify any of the game files. Normally, this classification does not include UI modifications, except those UIs that require an external application to function. Any external applications that are used in conjunction with World of Warcraft can cause quite a few unwanted side effects. Some of the major possible results of the use of third party programs can be instability of the game to the point that a player "crashes" from the game quite often. External programs can also be used to transmit viruses, spyware, and other unwanted programs into a player's computer. Third party programs can also be used to obtain information from the player's computer, such as account, password, and personal information.

this was my last 90 banned a couple days ago. hit 90 one night, trained flying and shut it down. the next day made a complex schedule of uptime and idle times, farmed a 5 hour block in the morning and a 2 hour block that evening, banned when i logged in the next morning. 100% QUESTING, NO RANDOMS, NO BG'S.

Yeah, I've had an account banned while questing... Everything is just a matter of odds. There are a LOT of people out there not getting banned, doing the exact same thing as you.

This is new. Never had one of those.

And you called my latest post a load of crap lol, I can see I am correct and I know they can do that sort of stuff

http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/107865-how-you-being-banned-bgs-gathering.html

for everyone else check it out, this came from a multiboxing forum who dont BOT. So dont ever use BG Buddy.

They are testing a new system something too do with mesh pathing and what it will do is read how many people are using it at the same time in a BG or world. But if you have your own profile one they really cant see

i did say in severl posts that was wrong on that, just cause i couldnt find your post anymore, or couldnt be arsed at 2 at night last night after receiving my ban
doesnt mean i wasnt going to rectify what i said.

But ill do it here then anyway, i think you are right, ok!

 

[webhond]

Why are you puzzled?
90 - Priest x3 ( 1x85 )
90 - Hunter x2 ( 1x88 )
90 - Mage x2
90 - Rogue x2
85 - Deathknight
90 - Paladin x2 ( 1x85 )
90 - Warlock
90 - Druid x2 ( 1x84 )
86 - Warrior
86 - Shaman x2
90 - Panda

Gold made so far 13.451.287.

X: Spend 500 k in 24 hours

Botting : 10-18 hours / day

i was puzzled cause the last time i farmed anythign, was months ago. The last time i was doing a botted bg, was months ago.

The only thing i used the bot for, again, for months, was lazyraider.

Yes i was botting 10-18 hours a day, but all was played by hand, aka no bg buddy, using lazyraider and singular / MAD in Oqueue premade RBG.

So i dont get your point. If i farmed 18 hours a day, unsupervised, i could understand. But i was here, 100 %.

 

[webhond]

I think you're lying about ONLY botting lazyraider. That seems so unlikely I can't even handle it.

Lol man, why would i ly about that shit???? Theres nothing worth for me playing in the game no more then bg.

Random bg's are useless to play, so theres oqueue, premade bg's on any lvl. I dont need gold other then to pay for gametime from precious wich
was about 60-85 k for 2 months.

last time i botted unsupervised was a long long time ago. And legit, all was played by hand using lazyraider from that point on. You dont have to
believe me and i dont feel the need other then this to convince you i am not lying.

Have a good one.

I used too be a hardcore multiboxer 10-15 accounts, been banned by blizzard all the time but always got it back due too the fact they seen that I was a multiboxer, but I quit for 2 years and wanted too come back but not have too level all the way up again. So i started too use HB ever since I started using hb I have always played/bot like a human with my new accounts, they have not been banned yet. its been over 2 years now and still going strong.

With profiles there all the same if they are public. if there public blizzard can get them install HB and see where they go. Who would not do that if they are being cheated by a program. I should would if it was my game. Ever since I noticed people getting banned I was always scared too run them. So instead I built my own profiles they look legit I dont see anyone else flying around in the same order as me. I have never BG'd with my toons unless I was controlling them and doing all the movements myself and spells.

2 years ago BG Bots where not as popular then today, I used too see like 5-10 in av every now and then but now days I see 10 out of 15 in AB! blizzard is also going too see this and be like, " ok lets do something about it now"

Its always best too keep things private All I can say.

RAZER!
