Additional Notes:
Just had 3 of them banned i'm sure the other 3 will follow shortly... All 6 on one IP/computer, barely 100M per acct. Lootprofile was Giles Ultimate Inferno Loot. I genuinely feel a banwave is incoming. Talked to many other guys who had it as well just now.

Im sorry mate

Gogo buy 12 accounts now?

 

[Lightsan]

Yeah right, the support here is pretty weak. I purchased 9 sessions and still only have access to 8. Been sending constant emails about it and no one is replying. There are no profiles provided by default, support for AGB is non-existant. I crash at least once every 5 hours with or without plugins and I have a brand new pc I built for this that cost 3K. Top that off with people being banned with less than 10m on accts and the time it takes to level/gear up a new character? Huge waste of time/money all around.

That's utterly stupid to buy such an expensive computer for this matter. You waste your time and your money all around, that's not the case for a whole lot of smart botters here.

That said, sorry for your loss.

I do animation for a living and do photography and videography as well. This computer is not only a tax write off, but botting was just an excuse to finally buy a new computer, no where did I say I bought it specifically for this only, but this is what pushed me to finally do it. However I thought (as many others did) that this would be a lot more profitable. The first month was more profit (even if you use other bot programs) than all the other time up until now combined. DB took too long to release, profiles took forever to get decent, etc.

lol @ "smart botters" An AGB bot is an AGB bot, period. If you bother reading any of the other threads you'll see people are being banned not doing 24/7 and barely leveled their 60's to start botting. Doesn't matter how much gold you make; if you get spotted you get spotted -- period. The only people that have been totally safe from what I've seen are those who write their own scripts.

It was an experience. I just regret I didn't jump on the IB or VS bots right out of the gate. The guys who did that made more in 3 weeks than they would here in a year.

Unless these script do something other than Sarkoth that wont help like at all ^^

Right, that's my point, none of them are doing sarkoth or core. (Which is essentially the problem with demonbuddy; really only core and Sarkoth profiles exist). Sure it's 300-400gph only but it's steady and not on blizz's radar; Diablo III Farmer makes 60 Million Gold an Hour and Tells All! - YouTube (Been making 60M+/hr from the very beginning with a custom made script)

OK, let me break it down for you :

Also, we see a lot of AGB bot being botted, because like 70% here use AGB, so that's not shocking to see "almost only" AGB bot being banned. IB with core were being banned as well, and DB running other profiles, check the Ban posts of last weeks, during the EU banwave.

 

[pjhulz]

jeez this is so scary, any Mod,Dev or Admin advice about this issue???

OK, let me break it down for you :

Only core and Sark profiles exist for DB unless you make your own -- period. Relying on a community to make profiles will always lead to MOST of the community using the best GPH profile -- it's that simple. There is NO diversity out there outside of core and Sark, meaning if you bot either of those it could be 1 hour or 10000 hours when you get banned, regardless of what else you're using.

Just lay low. It is not a DB issue, it is a botter issue, ie us botting too much, and blizzard spotting some accounts that run like 3000 sark game in 24 hours, then investigating based on hardware id and ip address. No one botting 12hours or less only with DB has been banned as far as I can tell.

What makes you think they are investigating specifically core and sarkoth ? That's right, nothing. They probably are checking for number of games created in 24hours.

I agree with you, as long as we won't have longer profile (meaning less GPH and the need for a lot better stuff on the bots), we will be under the "Oh ! Created 3000 games in 24hours" radar.

Not allowed to analyse hwid since your not allowed to report it back, same as with your window list or process list. Not even hashed

Once again; it does not matter how MUCH you bot, it matters if someone catches you doing it... You could hit 60, put GF gear on, do a sark run for 15 minutes and because it doesn't look even remotely human someone could see you doing it and ban you as a result. 1 or 24 hours a day only changes the amount of hours you can possibly be seen doing it, doesn't change the fact that you're still doing it.

There are people with literally over 300M collected from Sark runs, you think that's possible with less than 12 hours a day? Negative. Theory squashed. =(

Odd enough the IB acct I first starting using over a month ago with over 300m didn't get banned either...

Ya i just bought and made the acct last night. I was leveling it up most of today and was on it when others got banned. Logged off everything and went to log that one back on to just cont playing and it was banned. I had bought the extra 3 accts to level this week for the double sessions on the 17th.

They have not banned my mule acct ..yet or the org acct i started botting with using IB in core. That one for like first 3 weeks of June went 24/7 to....just seems odd. Tho maybe they have just not got around to them yet.

Don't we agree when accepting the TOS that Blizzard may gather intel on our computer specs ? I think we do, correct me if not .

Then explain me how can they spot me if I do a sark run for 10 minutes ? What data server side could led them to this analysis ? Nothing. You can put down your tinfoil hat now. Blizzard doesn't have a webcam on your computer, seeing exactly what is happening. Due to the random mobs in each game there is some randomness in the use of competences and movement. Until you break down to me the exact kind of data they can use to remotely spot a DB running sark for 10 minutes, I think you are just getting paranoied, and speaking out of your ass.

Sorry you're wrong. Looking at process list or window list is a violation of your privacy since it is essentially monitoring what you're doing.
Looking at hardware ID is NOT and there is a legit reason for them to gather that. I am 99% sure they get your hardware ID the second you hit login.

Done talkin' with you. Do research first, then discuss things with people k? You're the guy telling people blizzard has access to gather intel on computers (lawsuits lost for them on that, google.) and if you genuinely don't think blizzard watches random people killing specific mobs repeatedly... nuff said.
