Announcement regarding recent banwave

[hoodrichassotnig]

at least the banwave hit when the chests were on sale. I bought 25 just to have spares

 

[mekrenon]

I had an account banned that I didn't even play on since it got unbanned so whats going on there?

Either way i'm done with this.

So submit a ticket and get it unbanned.

They have logs for whether or not you signed in.

when you have not a single idea about what Tripwire is,how it works and how many times protected our users already its better no to post shit like this again

also count my post as your first and final warning since you already violating our forum rules

how can you just dismiss that 64bit is less of a flag.... for instance... Standard WoW launcher on any machine running windows 64bit, which from like 2008 basically any processor you buy is a 64bit processor and generally runs a 64 bit OS by default runs 64 bit WoW launcher, you literally have to go in and manually change it to run the 32 bit application, which you wouldn't do for any other reason that you're going to bot.

it might not be the nail in the coffin but it would sure as help them narrow down player reports... to flag against extra unusual behavior.

just outright saying, nah guys 32 bit is fine, you have to go into settings and modify the default client to run it means nothing... blizz would never think to check against people using 32 bit clients. Technically it might be no more secure than 32 bit, but from a common sense standpoint 64 bit is a better option because it's less suspicious.

Edit - Quoted the wrong post, but you'll get it

also, i didnt get any ban's since the 6 month, was just posting an opinion

I've been here longer than most on this forum. I lost 6 accounts, ALL of which I was willing to lose. Botting is against the terms of service, you had the choice to turn on the bot and use it just like I did. Out of the last 5 years since I used GB/HB I've only seen this kind of banwave 3 times and this isn't the biggest. I fully trust and support the HB/GB team and will just buy new accounts and level bot them up again in no time at all. This was a human error and shit will happen.

Xarian, I am sorry you're upset but the fact remains. They were honest with the responses they provided. That's all one can ask for.

No shit. You know what your getting into when you bot, you know you are risking something (or most everything sometimes in this case). That's part of the thrill of it for me, staying one step ahead of "the man" as it is. In my heyday i was running 20+ bots and sold over 30 million gold, i more than paid for my honorbuddy licenses and paid for my subs and made a little extra on the side.

If you're bitching about losing an account or 2 or 5, get over it. What you are doing is inherently risky, if you don't have the balls for it, don't do it. You're going to get stung.

If you cant roll with it, you shouldn't be doing it, that's really all there is to it.

 

[mudplayerx]

Damn straight. I bought about 6.

 

[rfernan6]

So is it just me or is honorbuddy not letting anyone log in? Says something of trip wire do i have to update my client or something??

I spoke with a support representative at Blizzard and they gave me the answer that they do in fact Monitor your RAM and the CPUID to see what is being run in tandum with WoW's client. They must have a way to check RAM cells and the unique ID of applications running next to their WoW client. If we are to figure out where the detection is we need to go back to our basic understanding of Computer Science.....and look specifically at RAM architecture. How does the WoW client get stored into our RAM for 1. and How does HB also get stored into the RAM. What methods can be used to scan the specific IDS store in each RAM cell. What is HBs unique identifier within a RAM cell? What is WoWs? We need to start exploring these type of things to figure out how HB was detected. Bring it back to BASIC COMPUTER SCIENCE 101....and we will get the answers we need.

got 8 myself wods ready to go, at least this time wod on sale so takes the sting out a lot

yes i think you are right, what if we download extra ram cells to fool their scanners?

there are sites where you can download more RAM: http://downloadmoreram.com/

grandpa is that you?

if you are looking for something in a glass of water it is easy to find, but finding something in an ocean is freakin impossible... therefore get more ram and become undetectable and laugh at those noobs gettin banned

 

[mekrenon]

Speaking with a support rep about Blizzard's detection methods is about as useful as speaking to a random homeless person on the street, except the homeless person might have something interesting to say.

Fair enough but I think HB should go 64 bit

 

[Sphero]

Hmm, i dodged the banwave again... its like the 3rd? I dont know. I whenever im online i litteraly Bot and bot and bot...
I have an idea what they might detect and just stay away from it since i started botting years ago. Seems i was right (again and again and again).

And to those who got banned: sorry for your loss

Maybe, just maybe ...finally disable PvP Modes (Arena & BG's) ..these i never touch. Not with a Bot!

22 of the accounts that were banned for me never did any pvp. the 6 that survived 2 i do pvp on regularly

 

[keebler]

I had 3 accounts suspended 1 for 6 months 2 for 18. but my 4th and 5th accounts that i created last month did not get banned, and i had them running around getting the Pathfinder stuff done and running some High risk areas. if the bot was detectable why did them 2 slip through.

 

[X-Ploit]

6month ban. done everything i wanted to before legion anyway soooo. its a welcome break hahaha

 

[Giwin]

18 month ban on an account that didn't have a 6 month ban before (although I can't remember where that one was or what it was).

Nice to have a botting break though.

 

[venndann]

There's always another account to create, always another chance to play with the bot -- and of course, always another chance to be banned. That's the risk one takes, and I'm okay with that.

I am heartened by the fact that they figured out what caused the detection. When you know (or at least are confident that you know) what the problem is, you can work on a solution.

Once the new HB is released, I'll create a new account and bot again. As many have said, WoW is no fun anymore without the bot to handle repetitive tasks.

Thanks, Bossland!

if that was the problem we would already have a 64bit version,its not tho
64bit wont add more security
i cant share more info about this in public
