Today I like several others got banned for 6 months. I tried appealing it, talked to a GM on the account chat services thing, and then finally scheduled a callback with Blizzard support. Got a really cool guy who I talked to over the phone. I feigned ignorance as much as I could, but the guy, even for being as cool as he was, wouldn't let me skip out on being honest. He said verbatim, "Here's the deal man. There are consequences to cheating. I know you said you have no idea, but we literally can see the program on your computer. We can literally see it active while you played. We literally have it on record, with no possibility of making a mistake or confusing it for something else. It's there. We can see it. We can see the program. So my advice is to just take it and move on, and play again in 6 months. Like I said, I know this sounds harsh and I'm sure it's frustrating, but there is no doubt on our end. We are 100% certain you were using this program. If it makes you feel any better, normally it's a permanent ban but we opted for a 6 month ban instead."
So it looks like it's pretty cut and dry that Honorbuddy was detected. He wouldn't say it by name because it is "against their policy" but I just want to encourage everyone to take a break from it for a bit until the air clears. With so many bans going out today, it's clear there's a bit more to this than just coincidental player reports.
Good luck all. See you in 6 months.
