Couple of questions

[randommcgee123]

Hey guys im new to HB and i'm here to ask a few questions .
well to start it off i wanna say that i have a wow 2 and a wow 1 , wow 1 is the one i bot on .
lets say HB was active but not being use ( on stop ) and i accidentally logged on wow 2 , will it flag me for a upcomming ban/banwave?
and how long do you guys let the bot farm for? 6-8hrs? 8-12? 24+???
also if i get banned for wow 1 for botting will the same apply to my main?
and is it a 6month ban for a first timer or is it a perm one ?
Thanks in advance everyone i do appreciate it

No one knows how blizz detects the bot. Only assumptions. Only the account you bot on will get banned. I have accounts banned and main is fine. Blizz sometimes perm and sometimes 6/18 months, they have stated they believe giving temp bans is better than perm but who knows except them.

Hi, Randommcgee123,

First...
If you are this worried about bans, you probably should not be botting. This article explains why, and should provide some perspective:

BosslandGmbH:HelpDesk:Is Botting Safe?​

But, to answer your question...
If a bot connects to a game client, even if not turned on, there is the potential of detection. Normally, Honorbuddy is fully protected by Tripwire. But, Tripwire was not fully engaged on one occasion where something was mis-handled after an update about a month earlier. This led to the 'second' Honorbuddy banwave. You can find more information in this article:
