Blizzard is scanning your memory for bots

[reQuorter]

I believe that Blizzard is now very offensive towards our bot and it's scanning our computer's memory do detect it.

When I tried to appeal to my ban I got GM response:

"Greetings,

Your account was permanently suspended due to use of third party programs, which is against the Terms of Use (Blizzard Entertainment: Battle.net Terms of Use), the relevant part of which can be found in this article :

http://eu.blizzard.com/support/article/50078

When running, the World of Warcraft client may monitor your computer's random access memory (ram) and/or cpu processes for unauthorized third party programs running concurrently with World of Warcraft. An unauthorized third party program as used herein shall be defined as any third party software, including without limitation any addon or mod, that in Blizzard Entertainment's sole determination:

I. enables or facilitates cheating of any type;

II. allows users to modify or hack the World of Warcraft interface, environment, and/or experience in any way not expressly authorized by Blizzard Entertainment; or

III. intercepts, mines, or otherwise collects information from or through World of Warcraft. In the event that World of Warcraft detects an unauthorized third party program, Blizzard may

a) communicate information back to blizzard entertainment, including without limitation your account name, details about the unauthorized third party program detected, and the time and date the unauthorized third party program was detected; and/or

b) exercise any or all of its rights under section 6 of this agreement, with or without prior notice to the user.

The use of such programs or files is clearly unfair to the World of Warcraft community playing regularly and is not tolerated on our servers.

Following a review of your case, we can confirm that such program has been used on several occasions by your account, and that the subsequent action taken is appropriate. We would not look to enter into any further communications on this issue as the matter is now considered closed.

Please be advised that sanctions in relation to this matter will not be taken against any new accounts you may wish to create, but the characters from your cancelled account will remain irretrievable. If you should wish to create a new account, you will need to obtain a new and unused CD key with a retail copy of the game.

I'm just very curious how they ban people nowadays because we can clearly see increase in bans for botting. I myself got banned and I did fine for 2 years (before HB, I was using pirox) and never got banned or even suspended (I never botted for more then few hours and never botted on every day)... and when I did got ban it was when I was using bot for only for few battlegrounds (and yes I was monitoring it and I didn't get reported or anything as my toon was almost always top dmg and as for movement was fine, never stucked or anything bottish-a-like), before that I didn't bot on that account for few months.

The recent band are probaly due to the cause of the Christmas holidays. Massively less players, so active GM's had more time to track down reported players ... Thats what I think at least.

If it was Warden, many mote players should be banned as we all use it

It can go live with its bazillion brethren in the Archives forum.
