3 Hour Suspension BGBuddy

[atronic]

Hey guys,

I have looked around the forums and noticed that there is A LOT of 3 hour BG Buddy related suspensions going around, I found 5 threads in total with an additional 5-10 people within each thread reporting the same thing. My personal suspicions is that blizzard have found a way to find botters in battlegrounds (which is not surprising given that ALL honorbuddy bots follow the exact same path (which is quite stupid in my opinion)). I am here to report that I have been hit with the same suspension.

1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account? - Honorbuddy (BGBuddy)

2)If so, when was the last time?: - 18/12/12 @ 9:32PM (UTC +10:00)

3)What profile were you using?: - Default BGBuddy

4)What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname: - Classname (singular)

5)What plugins are you using?: - Ultimate PvP Suite, MrGearBuyer

6)How many hours per day did you bot for?: - 8 Hours (suspension occurred within 15mins of honorbuddy being turned on for the first time today)

6.5)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot? - 100%

7)How many auctions per day did you have?: - 0

8)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods? - No

As stated above I suspect blizzard are focusing on PvP Botting as this account (plus 5 others) has been botting reliably with no suspensions for the last 4 weeks @ 8 hours per day EXCEPT they were either questing, grinding or gathering. This is the first time any of my toons have used BGBuddy and as stated above was suspended within 15 minutes (kudos to blizzard that's impressive).

I advise others that have this exact same issue to create their own thread (maybe not as detailed as mine) so that the Dev's can see that BGBuddy NEEDS to be changed, otherwise we give blizzard a chance to catch up. I also advise against appealing anything other that a perma ban, as this will prompt them to look further into your account/s and it may actually get worse.

Bg are easy to detect botters. They are all grouped up in some bgs. Probably just people reporting them.
