No update since the 13th. Yuk, what terrible service.

The less they say while trying to fix it, the more secure the fix will be.
I imagine they will have to re-write a big chunk of code. Prepare for another two weeks of downtime at the least and keep in mind it could take a month. If they manage to finish it before that time, great, if not, you're prepared for it.

the longer the better.

they are busy, let em fix it in a secure way. as secure as it can be. and test it for a while!

Although i dont think it matters, if blizz wants you your done
but i agree, prepaire to sit and wait.

I can imagine the pending release of Patch 6.2 can be an issue. It would be wise to wait it out before releasing a new HB version. No idea what changes again, but it probably would be a waste of time to release a working HB now, only to have downtime again when 6.2 hits.

Ummm....can't even express the amount of fail here.... wow nor HB use sql....you may want to look into what sql is...it's for web development and databases...for web servers. And regardless, what do you think running a command to automate the banning of 100k accounts has to do with software detection? They had to come to the conclusion to ban everyone somehow...and the easiest explanation is software detection....yeah it could be a crazy log of player reports they held onto just to screw the BosslandGmbH over (get your tin foil out!) by banning users after dropping a suit...but the amount of wasted money paying salaries to have people amass a database of 100k player reports compared to a "hey look this guy has honorbuddy.exe loaded up lets ban him" is just laughable. It was a detection plain and simple...why is that hard to believe?

You are trying to be smart, but you forgot that many applications use DB as data storage (every private server use MySQL or MSSQL to store realm data). I can´t imagine any other way how to store and be able to use large quantity of data without DB.

And why is searching DB better? Because you dont need spend time with trying to write new module for warden and then pray that it will be able to bypass tripwire. You just need find some markers like completed quests, number of lua calls etc.. to be able find botting account. Since not all botting accounts were hit, I really doubt about client side HB detection.

Err no. Not at all. They can keep us updated, perhaps give an Eta (I bolded the E to highlight the word ESTIMATED). Even a message to say, still working on it. None of those communications would impact security.

Im already paying someone to have a custom CR written for one of HB`s competitors.

Go read the sticky posts, read them again and then read them once more. Have you read them yet? They say it multiple times, they don't give ETAs on new releases. When there's something to give us an update on they will.

Can you imagine, how ppl can rage, when you miss ETA ? That is reason why we don't have ETA. Other think is, that with SW development, it is not rare that you don't have clue about when it will be done... hard to say ETA
