I think, at this point, if you're still using HonorBuddy for 'casual' use (piloting your account in Raids, or light use) and you're losing your nerve over possible bans then you're doing it wrong. The scene has changed, Blizzard compromised BossLand with dirty tactics and (I'm glad) though BossLand hasn't given up the fight, I think Blizzard remain more aggressive than ever towards botters.
But here's the kicker, and why Blizzard (more than ever) will remain the winners: they've moved away from terminations and handing out suspensions... so you're gonna come back even if you make a new account. You'll end up with a new account by the time your suspension is over and then you'll spend more merging them (character transfers) or managing additional subscriptions/licenses.
For the pros, they won't care -suicide botting and account creation is how it goes. But for the casuals who care about accounts, I fear, HonorBuddy is in a precarious position. I almost wish that Blizzard would legalise (lol) botting but that's not going to happen because their mass market don't care that some people have tired of the game so much that botting is the only way to enjoy WoW.
TLDR expect more suspension waves. They're here to stay. Move it or lose it.
Best of luck!
