I got no ban, but I botted long time a day.. minimum 12 hour/ day in the past 1 week../ account. but my bot was afk some times for hours, because small stash size filled with craps.. empty map tab..ect

you are on the top of the chopping block for the next wave then...that is literally the worst idea ever other than just running the bot 24/7

 

[hyperatis01]

When gonna be available the bot ?

 

[DirtyChets]

There's no schedule for that unfortunately nor any information other than what pushedx provided. Though there's also the possibility bot may never be available again.

And you know this how? Do you work for GGG and know this stuff or you are just speculating and talking shit?
He, like many other users that bot here and were not affected by the banwave might never get caught while others will even if they put less hours into it. A lot of user that are new got banned while many that use this bot for years and used it in the past week or so survived.

There is no way you know what exactly caused this, how they decided to ban or what will happen in future.

 

[DirtyChets]

LUL playing 24/7 for weeks is an obvious flag actually, dunno why would you doubt it.

 

[gh7asr]

its not bout flagging, its bout their anti cheat detected the bot

And like the other guy said, you know this how?

For all we know they let the flags stack up and tried to see what effect botting had on the economy. After seeing Exalted Orbs plummet more than 30% in a week, it probably gave them a lot of info. We don't know that a "warden" type solution is in place. It's more than likely server side metrics. The fact that the bans come in a wave is simply a decision that's made as to when action is took after gathering information over time. Which brings me to my summary, before this latest ban wave, botting 15 hours a day, or anything else that makes it look like a non-human playing, is a sure fire way to get flagged. So whether it is anticheat methods employed or flags, botting 15 hrs a day still resulted in a ban. Therefore DirtyChets is the winrar by unanimous Decision 120-108/120-108/120-107, the last judge having deducted a point for idiocy.

That's not really true. They banned some fresh accounts of people who only used the bot for a couple of hours, not even a day.

At the same time there are people like me who didn't give a damn about getting banned and botted 24/7 with thousands of deaths who didn't get a ban.

We just don't know what is going on. I can never understand who gets banned and why and when and why some survive.

It's the same as it always was. Problem with the "It's anticheat embedded in the client" shit is that those who botted 24/7 with thousands of deaths would have indeed got a ban. It might be something as simple as what key you set your "walk" to. A couple of hours is all it takes to see patterns and metrics that they have probably determined by running EB themselves.

So like I started my post, "For all we know they let the flags stack up." My point was, we don't know if it's Anticheat, we don't know if they let flags stack up. No one who doesn't get a paycheck from Grinding Gear Games can definitely say, the ban wave was caused by 'x'.

In summary, what I said was exactly true, as you went on to say the same thing.

I am new here, just purchased a key. I was wondering how our subscriptions will be since the bot is down since I purchased it 2 days ago?

I assume we will get a refund on the days lost for EB down?

They will give you the extension on the downtime.

 

[DirtyChets]

From what I can tell, they always do recover time wasted under maintenance. Though there's no any guarantee that bot will ever run again, since we still don't know what type of protection GGG's using.

Just to add in some additional info you may find interesting, I want to clarify that people running handmade private bots did get banned too. Not 100% sure, but it's very likely these bots were using rewritten ExileBuddy as a base.
So it's either pattern detection is really stronk, or these bots were barely modified.

considering that Tencent is partly controlled by Chinese government and in fact developing AI self learning code, I would place my bet on the strong pattern detection.

If you can PM me the source of this info, that'd be great, but just to clarify, no one outside of Buddy has Exilebuddy code to my knowledge, so there's no derivative bots we're aware of. It would also be pretty bad for business and the project if we licensed away our API source, since one leak is all it would take to destroy the entire project. Someone reversing a large part of EB for their own bot is also pretty infeasible with how the game works, so I don't think anyone is doing things the same exact same way we are, but there is only so many ways to do certain core things so there might be some natural overlap.

I lost my shit at "handmade private bots" that by the time that i got to "using rewritten ExileBuddy as a base" I damn near choked on my tongue. I want to clarify that I'm 100% sure the source of this information is his ass.
