Is anyone only using HB for CR's and not avoiding bans and banwaves?

My question mostly goes out to you who exclusively use HB for combat routines. Have you been avoiding the latest bans and banwaves and did you avoid all the others from last year? If so, what are your current thoughts about the state of using HB only for CRs and would you recommend it? I used to use HB last year mostly for CR's and some farming but never extreme but got banned twice. I've gotten bored of doing the rotations and wanted to pick HB back up and wanted to get some info from someone currently using it only for routines. What are your current strategies and personal settings you like that have let you skirt under the radar while most heavy botters have been getting banned.
Thanks
 
Yes you will be banned just for using a CR.... and yes it happend before a few times.
 
There is always a steady stream of botters getting banned for herbing/mining, dungeons, and BGs. I know people that have been botting for years and haven't been touched, and those who only used a CR and have been hit in every ban wave. No one really knows how they're detecting botters, or when the information collecting is happening. If you bot, you WILL be banned eventually. 100% AFK 24/7 or an hour of nothing but a CR.

User reports. Just that's it.

1 of my bots account just get CLOSED not banned, after stuck on some stones for 30 minutes and few player whispers. 2 hours later I get an email from blizz with unrecoverable account. RIP my lovely bot.

If you suck or are handicapped and you need a CR on your main account, just use a custom CR and take your time when configuring the paid CR (yes paid, don't use singular).
Handle interruptions manually and preferably don't let HB walk/target for you (unless a handicap prevents you to do either of those).

I have yet to be banned on my main account for exclusively using a CR in dungeons and raids.
Avoid battlegrounds and arenas too, with a CR.
 
never bot on an account you aren't willing to lose. the ONLY way to avoid the banhammer is to never install honorbuddy on your computer.

we bot because we love it more than we love our mains. that is the basic truth.

i lost my 'main' years ago. now every single druid i roll is my 'main'. after awhile botting will take the place of those fancy mounts, all your alts, heirlooms, toys, pets. when enough time has passed you will have distilled your wow experience down to its most basic form. raids, challenge modes, farming gold. you will focus on that and all your false needs for 'your main account being safe' will disappear.

blizz is a ninja, she will come in the night for your children, eat their skin and leave a trail of blood into the darkness. you can only tremble and cry. you will not win.
 
There is more than one type of ban. Using CR, you wont be reported. That is one less risk for you. But if the bot is ever detected, you are a goner like everyone else.
 
unless you start bragging in a pug and the other healers report you out of spite.

consistently topping the meters puts bads in a reporting mood.

Well, in their defense, a CR fundamentally achieves the highest possible DPS.
 
I received a 6 month ban for last expansion using only a combat routine. Nothing else.
Risk vs reward really when botting.
I've since retired my main cause of the fear of losing everything on it but really as I type this I wonder why I dont bot on it anyway as I'll never play WoW again by hand.
Maybe I'll wait till the next banwave and just nuke my main as well.
After all, how hard is it to bot up a new toon again !!
 
I used vitalic rogue CR to hit 2700 in 3s rating last year.. never got banned. Just got bored of the game and quit for a while.
 
Doesn't really matter what you use, bans mostly come from the bot being detected; and when that happens you either get lucky in not having used the bot for a certain period of time to bypass the banwave as I once have, or you are pretty much screwed.
