I can't bot - I get perma banned every time

[Tensta1337]

Dear Honorbuddy support. I wrote a mail to your support and I got redirected to write a post here to get help. I have not been able to bot since feb ban wave. I get perma banned every wednesday.

I have tried the following.

Reinstall Windows with a CD
HWID
Changed my MAC-Address
I have never used the same payment method
I never use the same email provider
I never use the same name on account
I have tried using a VPN - and making a whole new bot
I have tried using my old PC and new IP address
I have tried using a new PC and my old IP address
I have tried using a new pc and a new IP address
I have tried changing my location and bot
I have changed my REG keys



Been dealing with these issues since Feb ban wave

What profile do you us? What are the bots doing? etc. You should write these informations too. Where do the bots farming , which realm etc. Maybe the profile is very bad what do you use.
If this all true what you are saying, then the problem is with the bot i think. Did you use any other bot program cheats or something or just the HB? What kind of plugins do you use? How long are the bots working a day?
Do you use relogger?

Hello Obvioka. Thank you for your response. Sorry if I lacked details.

I use gatherbuddy2. I suicide bot. I used the same profile after the ban wave but decided to use other herb-profiles(starlight rose, aethril, etc) still got banned. I farm on EU, the bots just herb and mine 24/7 until they get banned.

hi i got suspended for 6 months yesterday, mainly cause honorbuddy built in bgbot. anything i could do for getting unbanned?

 

[Hungrydane]

Could be that you get more player reports now as people are busy doing 7.2 content and the market is majority supplied by bots.

Have you tried botting battlechest content?

Tried to bot "moderated" as casual or so on in the first 72 hours of account creation?
Like slower level to 110, not in the usual ~24 hours, but in 36/48/72 hours to ding 110.
Then go reckless mode after those 72h have passed.
Tried reducing the 24/7 reckless mode to 22/7 or 21/7?
Tried spend the remaining 3/7 into character gearing, like WQs, Suramar, Broken Shore, Timewalking or Legion dungeon, (no battlegrounds ofc) for the randomization sake?

BGbot is where you failed. PvP botting screams ban and/or suspend me. Also no, mor elikely than not you will not get your account back before the suspension is up, you can try, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

[Poofie]

do you invite your characters to the same guild every week by any chance? Perhaps blizzard is flagging your guild or something to catch the accounts

I can't imagine I would receive more player reports, it's within I week. Can you elaborate what you mean here?

I have tried to be more 'moderate'. I waited 72 hours after my battlechest activation before going reckless mode and got banned after maintenance.
I have tried also to bot very casually after waiting 72 hours, didn't help.
I have tried to level bot after the 72 hours(a boosted lvl 100 character -> level it to 110) -> and begin farming the day before maintenance, and I got banned.

Thank you for your response Poofie.

I have never invited my bots to the same guild at any time, I always get invited to random huge social guilds and stay in those.

Thanks for all your help guys, appreciate it

I see my post has been moved to the ban-section discussion. I was told by honorbuddy support I would get some help regarding this specific issue(I wrote the exact same information in the mail) if I posted it in the Honorbuddy Support section. Can I get a response from an Honorbuddy employee by any chance? I've reached out to the community several times, and all I've done is based on what the community advised me to do.

 

[Hungrydane]

What i mean is you can try botting on a battlechest account (pre-legion) and see if that gets you banned as fast as the others.

That's not a bad idea Hungrydane. Thank you.

I tried to bot on a trial account, didn't get banned.

Buddy team will not give you assistance in this matter as its not an honorbuddy issue.

Another strange question. Did you try botting in your name and see what happens?
Had issue a while ago where if I used any other name they got banned for economy.

Received a response from Tony that I would receive support if I redirected my mail to the Honorbuddy Support forum. Of course it's an honorbuddy issue - doesn't mean they should have the answers, but at least the effort to try to help would be appreciated.

Hmm I tried to understand what you asked about. I don't seem to understand what you're asking about. Can you try to elaborate? Sounds interesting.

Okay, I was leveling bots for customers and myself in random names. Real like names but fake people. Whether I was running one or a bunch they would ban quickly. I even leveled a set by hand one of my own accounts with dk's in dungeons. All random name accounts banned. Run my own named account? Banned in ban waves only

 

[Ufrore]

My accounts are being banned with 24h-72h usage. Is Honorbuddy really not being detected?

I go try this

That's an interesting experience, but yet extremely weird and has no logical explanation I must admit!

Tensta, let's see some clearing steps that you might have overlooked,

Are you aware that installing (re-installing) windows return most of your Hardware Information to its default values ? E.g. Your MAC address, your Hard Drive ID, they are all back to default.
You need to change again the MaC , HWID, again.

Also, check your IPs. Use any of the google options for IP checking. Are you completely sure they are being changed? have you checked them? maybe the range your ISP is providing is too small, making it easier for Blizz to see its you (flagged user IP-subnet) who is attempting to access their servers.

Do you use new WoW installations? full delete old installations, including the hidden files in program data and C:\Users\yourlocalusername\AppData\Local. Also delete the reg keys before reinstalling.

All these steps need to be done together. If you are doing 1 thing, then starting a new bot , banned, then doing another step, then starting a new bot, banned again, then another step,...you are doing it wrong. It's quite likely that blizzard uses advanced flagging systems that "mark" comps using several IDs. So you need to do them all together to get a real fresh start.

Even then, in order to be sure of which info Blizz does collect, it would require some time-consuming reversing all data going through all blizz applications , which is crazy. If there was an easy way, or someone had it figured out, we would know by now.

What is clear, by the fact that some people report real-name accounts not banned, is that they have some sort of registry which links comps / accounts / IPs to us, personally us.
How? that's what we have to figure out...

U KNOW HOW WHEN U SHOWER AND UR WINDOWS GETS FOGGED UP? THATS BLIZZARD WARDEN MAKING SURE U DONT BOT. UR BEING WATCHED AND UNTIL U REPENT U GOING TO CONTINUE EATING HAMMERS.
