05/13/2015 - 6 Month Ban wave

[Drizzt1990]

my understanding of the emails
---third party=dude, we caught you botting.
---exploiting the economy=dude, we haven't caught you botting, but you are profiting from botting activities.
---exploiting game mechanics=dude, we couldnt catch you, and we cant tie you to botting activities, but we suspect you. ban em all, let CS sort them out.


exploiting game mechanics with a 6m suspension gives them an excuse to punish without having to go into any specifics on how, what, where, when, and why they detected us.

'we dont have to admit we scanned your ram if we dont use that as the evidence against you'

The just admited they scan your RAM in an e-mail to me and my ban mail said "exploiting game mechanics", so yes this is for botting too:

My folders and files were being scanned I doubt this is legal activity... yet they had a program saying looking for blizzard games I didn't fall for their crap and quickly killed it.

i think they will have some trouble when they will launch 6.2 (chinese ddos will come)

First ban in 5 years of using HB - not a bad record. I lost 1 account however, my other account is still active. I went through a phase of not using my 2nd account to bot as I had more gold than I ever knew what to do with - never been into gold selling as I don't really need the money. All my gold bar maybe 5-10k was in gb and gb money hasn't been touched can still access it all. Server seems very quiet now. More ban posts on way I'd guess! I'd guess the period is probably around the week commencing 27th - 1st After that period I logged my 2nd account in and it's not banned

To be honest not the end of the world - 6 months isn't that bad. I threw in a pretty piss poor attempt at an appeal, but I cba with playing WoW at the moment anyway so not overly fussed! What good games is everyone playing??

 

[Frezzao]

Same here.. 6 months.

 

[Entsafter]

hit by the ban truck, 6 months for fishing my own fish that i used in raids and never sold on AH..... well shit happens, cu in 6months...... now i have time to play witcher 3

 

[ebless666]

loool me as well on my main account

 

[Samson11]

Forget which thread I posted in, but I also (couple weeks ago) bought a bunch of tokens... anyone else that get banned also do that? (botting for 4 years, nothing much, this one was just doing garrison)

Same thing, was just botting garrison stuff. Any idea if they are going to take a bunch of gold from the accounts that were banned?

 

[jack1010]

It was garrison buddy. The only account that I ran it with got banned my other 3 accounts are fine .

 

[Samson11]

I cannot get Demonbuddy working at all lol

 

[gunsandunicorns]

It was garrison buddy. The only account that I ran it with got banned my other 3 accounts are fine .

It was Honorbuddy. Not anything specific. People got banned for using garrison stuff only, others got banned for using CRs only, others for fishing, others for XYZ. Good Morning dude. You realize that there's thousands of people who got banned, and those people did use completely different profiles/plugins?

 

[jack1010]

Just think about it. 5,000 people running the same route every day doing garrisons.

Out of my 4 accounts the only difference I used was garrison buddy on the banned account. Same profiles, same everything.

wow should be under 6 million subs now

Same thing, was just botting garrison stuff. Any idea if they are going to take a bunch of gold from the accounts that were banned?

Will be pissed if they do. I made hardly anything from my garrisons except for missions and bloods. Most of my gold over the last few months came from war forged upgrades legitimately being sold on the AH.

Re: tokens, I bought two the first day they came out. Almost bought more. Was planning on buying time for friends/family seeing as gold was just piling up.

 

[scottee]

Got me too. Main account I think is time to quit wow once and for all.

agreed. only botted for two weeks and six months ban? no warning. no first time offender appeal to ruduce suspension time. game is kinda lame now and dont really want to play without botting now. so after years of playing WoW. im done. i dont even really feel bad either

 

[scottee]

pffff november? why come back? im moving on. it might take awhile to find a good game i like but there are sooooo many to choose from. WE WILL ADJUST>>AND WE WILL ADVANCE. stay strong my brothers and lets move on and leave WoW behind
