I've given an estimate of 5000 and its as close as we will ever get.

Indeed. Thats what the forum is for. But we actually look at bots online and the the fall in our figures matches with the statements by Blizzard that they banned a few 1000 accounts. http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonbuddy-forum/97831-official-demonbuddy-bans-december-18-refunds.html

http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonbuddy-forum/demonbuddy-ban-reports/59443-ban-theories-ban-waves.html Post theories there - glad you are not banned. vicesandy - it may be that he is happy to take less money and the accounts to last longer. Everyone has their own style and their own comfort zone.

Did you get ban emails and what did they say?

http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonbuddy-forum/demonbuddy-ban-reports/59443-ban-theories-ban-waves.html Please post theories there. The forum is for ban reports.

http://www.thebuddyforum.com/buddy-bots/announcements/101739-recent-forum-outages.html Its likely to be a problem for at least a month. Not a huge amount we can do about it as they keep changing the attacks.

A small minority got banned on December 18. We had more complaints about taking DB offline than about bans.

OK they have got you for botting. Thanks for the information. PMed you on the other matter.

Please do. It would be nice to know the reason they gave and it would be nice to see if it was signed by a GM or an unsigned message.

Oh a suspension. "Ban Reason: N/A" - very strange.

So they were all from the same IP and running 24/7 and rocketed to 60. If you were designing a script to catch botters, these things alone would not be enough. Did you get a ban email at all?

How did you level the 16 toons?

Owned :-(

Sorry for your loss. What did the ban email say?

Please answer the questions I put in your ban thread and stop opening new threads every 2 minutes. You got banned - you are upset - we get it.

Of course its automatic - the bans are based on server side scripts. The question is what algorithms they use and how we can avoid them. Since this thread is theorycraft, please post theories here...

Do you not think there is 3 clues there as to how they got you? OP sorry for your loss. You are not the only one that has been banned just around hitting 60. I'm very interested to know how you leveled them and how many hours Demonbuddy was in use on them. PMed you in case you didn't see...

Your heart is in the right place but the theory is wrong. Locking this as we have a thread for ban theories stickied. Its worth saying; only a small minority of our users were banned on 18/12. We remain unsure what happened - the unexpected packet theory is credible but it doesn't explain why...

http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonbuddy-forum/demonbuddy-ban-reports/96903-banned-1-1-a.html We said at the time there might have been a packet that was used to track Demonbuddy users but didn't understand why it didn't get all Demonbuddy users. Your post is very interesting. Thanks.

We have 100s of people using the bot. We are also working on a new version with improvements suggested by our users. Is there something specific you'd like us to add to the bot?
