You´re wrong! If you don`t want to get banned, don`t bot!
Everybody blames it on gatherbuddy, but its not gatherbuddy that gets you banned. Its the way how stupid the users of gb are. And I really mean it like that. You bottet too long, too obvious and got fucked. Simple as that.
Of course you can use a different totally imba ban-avoiding botbase or a different bot, but if you do the same as you did with gb, you will also get fucked.
How does someone get banned?`Do you think a GM watches your toon for 30 minutes until something bottish happens? Then kindly asks you if you might be a bot? Surely not. Most of the gb bans are auto bans. Account X gathered Item XY too many times in the last X hours. -Autoban-
And yes, thats how it works! Check out the Blizz forums. There are a lot of non botters that got banned because of exactly that, because they were farming stuff for a mount and shit like that. Blizzard respondet, that that is an automated software and recommended to run an instance in between to avoid that automation.
Another ban reason.... Players report you. Too many player reports, a gm will read them. If they say the same: ban.
Why do players report you? Well because you got stuck, your toon did stupid shit or you stole their ore, they followed you and you did not answer to whispers... Don`t be stupid, its so simple to avoid all that.
I see so many bots especially in pandaria that are so obvious, I really hope they get banned, because the users are just to stupid to set their bots up. They just buy hb, load a profile and hit start and let it run for 20hours. After that they start a thread here "gb is bad, I got banned becuase of that shit."
The Problem are not eaven the profiles, I have 3 Accounts running the same Profiles for over 5 months now daylie just using gb and those are eaven public profiles
