So first of i got banned on my number one farming account. I had it running for arround 1 day with bot, i did not bot much each day. Maybe 4 hours per day and nothing more, It got banned. I took the risk, i accepted the ban and moved on. Next day i put up my 2nd farming account. Within 1 day it was also banned, I was really surprised how i got banned so fast cause both accounts i was using doesn't look like a plane farming account at all (They actually look like some one's main account cause of gear + Achievement.) I know that i did not get reported by any players, that is for a fact. I always been very cautious about that area, and i have never in my 3 years of botting had a single ban on my account. I thought it had to come one day and i just looked over it. but when my 2nd account got banned within a day aswell, i didnt believe that this was just random bad luck for me. I decided to appeal for a unban to blizzard, i got to talk to a guy from blizzard through a ticket. We spend hours talking, i acted dumb to him, and tried to convince that i did not even know what a bot is, i even claimed that it might have been my addon (Gathere) which he assured me it could not be cause those are not illegal. After a long chat and him looking through everything for a while. He started asking me questions directly about honorbuddy. I have renamed my .exe and done it really safe. I ofcourse kept denying that i dont even know what such a thing as honorbuddy is. I kept claiming that it must have been an addon or something that must have caused you to ban me, cause i don't do cheating in the game. I sat long there and talked to a GM, through the conversation he asked me more than 5 times about honorbuddy on my account. He said to me that from he could see, i had used HB. Blizzard definently detects farmers who use HB / GB, from 4 hours botting on my account i got a permanently ban. The account i used to botting was a "newb account" ( As in i have never used a bot or anything on it before since i got it from my friend, who never in his life has used bot, or had any warnings ) Blizzard knows if you are using honorbuddy, and they're slamming you really fast and hard with bans, not even warnings. Permanent ban on 2 accounts within 20 hours, from ***** IP's. I will for now not use any HB / GB again for a long time, until it becomes undetectable, since i take the risk of getting caught and reported by many players (i do not care about that), but the risk has now become too high, they are detecting honorbuddy and they instant permaban for it.
