0/4 Banned. Logic where? Gathering info.
Hi HB community.
I'm here just to share my experience on the whole ban wave, what i might have done different compared to others etc.
I started out botting using glider. I've ran my main account in Feralas for hours straight in a 20 square meter spot. That sort of stuff.
When honorbuddy came out, my real life friends already knew i could bot, so they wanted to get onboard, without putting in the work.
Over the course of the time that honorbuddy has been around, i have leveled many characters, geared them up in pvp gear on FOUR different accounts.
All accounts i botted we're main accounts. One being mine, three belonging to people i actually know.
On two of four accounts i leveled 3/4 chars to 90, geared them in pvp , leveled them to 100 , geared them in PVP.
On the other two, i did the occasional night of honor farming for when they we're fed up with losing battleground.
On my own main ( one of the two that got leveled using a bot ) i would farm Ashran for 8 hours staight , like 5 days a week, for a couple of weeks, just to get some spare gold.
Things i NEVER did:
Run the bot without being around.
Run the bot with a BETA version of HB.
Run the bot right after game patches.
Run the bot against advice of HB developers.
Had Battle.net client open while botting. I would ALWAYS launch using the honorbuddy launcher.
Other players did whisper me from time to time saying they reported me for botting after doing some extensive Ashran farming.
Zero out of Four accounts banned.
Im in IT, always been a huge computer nerd, and i would take extra actions to make sure i would bot in a safe way, but never would i have been able to avoid any ram/cpu monitoring.
If anyone could clarify, how could this be luck? All accounts are on different names, payed for with different bank accounts, have a huge difference in game activity. Some pvp, some raid, one has tons of chars, one has only a single main. The only thing the accounts share is being from the same country. The Netherlands EU. Out of all accounts, only mine has not been active for a couple of weeks. The others are still subscribed.
Will keep this post updated when anything changes, i was just hoping to see if anyone is in the same boat. The boat where you are dazzled by not being banned after actively botting for YEARS.
Anyone else from the Netherlands that DID get banned?

Never used gatherbuddy.
Never used Garrison bot related stuff.
