Honorbuddy may not be detected, at all.

Of course not using 64-bit would ever be the reason for ban, did you seriously just take a minute talking point to debunk the theory? Holy shit. The point is disconnected accounts being used to compile a list.

Are you kidding me? He clearly just mentioned 64bit bots as a sidenote focusing his rebuttal on the "disconnect and detect" theory you posted.

Client exe. Nothing to do with Warden.

I personally thonk it was a strait out process scan.........i had an account suspended that never botted EVER. But i would open up the client while my main account was doing botting activities to post to ah a few times a day. Both accounts 6 month. That leads me to believe they snooped running processes as a whole on each account suspended during the sweep.

no need to scan processes. they have yours VolumeSerialNumber EthernetAdapterMAC etc info to Identity all your connected accounts.

This ..ALLL DAY. The fact that other bots that are free to use , are coded and maintained by less individuals for zero gain to the community are still running and had ZERO players banned during the honorbuddy banwave, should be what all of you are thinking about. The Honorbuddy Team may have won that one battle but could have been persuaded or strong armed from blizzard to give up the information on its users. How else would other bots not be affected while HB was bitch slapped ? Im not saying that HB ratted out its users for sure ...but looking at the evidence not many other conclusions to be drawn .

We are all entitled to our own opinion how ever.

Well, as you all know this was triggered just after the court decision in Germany. I am very sure that Blizzard has bought the Buddy team because i have only heard of ppl getting banned that uses their bot. I use another bot on my other account and its still active and im still botting
So my guess is that this Honorbuddy and all other bots they have now are dead. Saw thousands of Diablo botters also where banned same day.
So thanks for the botting with Honorbuddy as long as it was active but now i will not be apart of this anymore.
Bye all.

Please cease with the uninformed, uneducated speculation about what caused the banwave.

I suggest watching the following video:

A bot can be detected with a few lines of code or assembly instructions, if the code is well targeted. There is no need to invent these convoluted hypotheses to explain something that is likely quite simple, Honorbuddy got detected via software and will continue to operate once they fix the vulnerability and take any measures necessary to mitigate future risk.

trust me when i tell you thats not the case. LOTS have changed from the glider days, and if it was software detection, everyone would be perma banned, and thats not the case.

Why would everyone be permabanned? They are very confident in their proof, no bans are getting overtuned, pretty much everyone got banned.

Ever occoured that maybe they simply chose to do 6 months? For the sole reason that maaaaybe it would convince a few people to return in 6 months, without a bot?

 

[ROmulis2000]

No i believe that they chose to do 6 months because Blizzard wants you botters to have hope on returning in 6 months. Hope = happy thoughts = purchase new sub to pass time until 6 months is up . If they banned everyone, half if not more of you might not even consider re subbing then blizz would lose even more subs over all as well as money. Blizzard is playing on your emotions and leaving you with hope on returning in 6 months ( to return as a botter or a legit player doesn't even play into there reason for making it 6 months) . Again ..you all should be looking at why other bots weren't hit or detected while honor buddy was.

None of you should bother to re sub back to blizzard . I seen a post where it says if you pay with your bank account or card or what ever you can tell your bank that you don't know what these charges are and be refunded up to 5 months back . So all of you ESPECIALLY the ones that have multiple accounts should definitely do this, it will most likely result in a per ma ban for your wow accounts. How ever ....blizz will take a hit on money as well ...if they did pay off the buddy team ....they will lose the money they spent on doing that...AND all of us charging back 5 months of game play on our bank accounts. They may have hit us.....but we can hit them even harder 5 times harder to be exact. ( if you only play 1 account and we base it off 100 000 players being banned . They would be charged back 8 000 000 . Who would get the last laugh then blizzard ??? )

TO TOP THIS OFF...each of you that was banned should write 2 bad reviews a month for the next 6 months. Lets say that 100 000 players were banned ..in 6 months we could have 1200 000 bad reviews done up on blizzard games. Bad reviews on this company will also deter new gamers from touching anything this company puts out....which will also be a good way of hitting them in the bank account where it hurts.

just my two cents

"Trust me when I tell you that's not the case.....and if it was software detection, everyone would be perma banned..."

Coming from an "insider", this is a very interesting statement.

You are telling your community that it can not be a software based detection - so what is it then?
It's hard to believe that Blizzard hired thousands of people to manually scan the clients and manually administered and banned more than a 100,000 accounts.
Overnight ...

The BOSSLAND statement, a few days ago, kind of tells us that HB may have been detected.
It's an automated process, based on _something_ ..

Alright, so "I trust you", but be slightly more precise then - what's your theory, being an insider ..
