banned a lot of accs in last days

[h4xxor]

hi
i tryed to farm some instances and lost a lot of accs in short time, well the accs are nearly for free (4e) but i still wonder how the bantriger works
one bot on one pc runs for 5 days for now nonstop and did not get banned
on my other pc all bots get banned after 30h
i know you might think 24h nonstop is the reason but how can a bot do not get banned for 5 days for soing the same stuff
so i think they made a trigger for runing more then 1 wow on pc and a gm will take a look if they are to long online.
so what i want to know if someone run more then 1 bot for 24/7 form 1 pc
greetings

You are not alone

Have same problems, got massive bans on 4 different non Pr o xy IP?s , 4 different PC Systems - i level fresh toons and after 3-4 days my accs will be locked for abuse economy. I have absolut no idea whats going on. Kick fucking blizzard to the hell in there ass... i hate this bastards...

I tested everything, setup new windows, change HWID with changing HDD?s and network cards, changing IP?s but this stupid bastards kill me again and again. yesterday 4th times in 2 weeks.

on every systems run 8 fresh accs but they will be banned before they arrive TBC ( 8 x 4 = 32 acc and this 4 time = 128 Accounts in last 2 weeks... )

And they ban only my fresh accs - older accs which farm on the same system wont be banned. It seems they have a script for fresh accounts.

Yea, indeed there is something going on on server side.

My story is bit different, but still delivers:


Few days ago my ISP changed my Real IP with static (Before Im aware of it) and the IP was dynamic, usually every wow session was out with different Real IP (Assigned from a fat pool with more than 100x Class D IPs numbers)

I was usually running 6-7 gatherbots from the same PC simultaneously every day before that, and all was with the same wow install and ofc different IP.

But recently all 7 was out running in the same time into two sessions, each long ~2 hours. At the end of the 2nd session I was by luck or who knows on the PC, and saw how the most of the bots stopped their planned session and logged out, but 2x got plain DC (The GB2 was still running). Ofc they were both perma banned. 1 account was still gathering (I have ran it only 2 hours that night, not 4) and I saw how the both banned DCed virtually in the same second.

After check, 5 out of 7 was banned at that time. Several minutes later rounded the bans to 7/7.

After receiving the ban mail, I saw all they was definitely flagged and auto-permabanned, and all received reduce to 72h suspension + FW after appeal (Note - half of the accounts was gatherers from 14-18 months on 4-6/24 schedule withour prior offence, and half was fresh or nearly fresh - 2-6months old, still running on similar schedule)

At the same time I was leveling 3x rogues with kicks questing and PPing on different PC, the same IP (Obviously, the same local network, same router), still untouched.

TLDR:
1. 7x Gather bots on the same IP+Computer = Autoban in less than 4 hours! (No matter fresh or veteran accounts)
2. Other bots on the same IP, different computer = Untouched.

I'm also curious about this, can anyone explain?
