Hello fella botters!
I need your help! I'm sorry that I post in general, but it's actually close to general questions.
Recently I was banned on my fresh WOD bots really fast (all got password reset + 72 hours), I never was hit so fast, some bots were like 5 days old. And these are WOD, not cheap battlechests... I use my own private profiles for instances mainly (few to no bots where I bot), but open world farming bots were hit for me the same time, so I guess it's not the instance type of farm ban... I use separate VMs with private unique IPs for each VM, I don't think it's
OK, now here is my question:
I got this type of ban:
Account Action: 72 Hour Suspension
Reason for Action: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Che@t Programs ("H@cks")
I think it's kinda strange. I did use 3rd party bot, not h@cks, afaik "exploitation" bans are for some really dangerous stuff like noclip/fly h@cks/dupes and ! Please share your ideas/opinions/experience.
I actually even want to try live chat\phone call to understand why I was banned for H@cks, I can's stop thinking of it, because I dunno how and for what reason I was banned:
1. It's not HB detection: not all accs were hit, even on same subnets, doing the same profile.
2. Is it a ticket\manual investigation? But I have these bots on like 12-13 realms (also some are A, some are H side!), I doubt GM checked em all, or somebody checked and reported em. Even my old low pop realm farmer got hit (over 60 days of "played" time now lol).
3. I also don't think it's because of hardware: I have isolated vms and again, several accs survived...
Update:
Here's a direct quote from ban email:
"These programs provide character benefits normally not achievable in the World of Warcraft. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries."
WTF? I only use HB...
