Not sure if flagged...

Hello fellow HB'ers,

Ive been botting just fine for 2 or 3 months, after this, i decided to clean up some HB folders (cache and stuff, the usual) and the WoW folders.
Because of some bad luck, i broke the game somehow.
Ofcourse, i needed gm help, this requires you to upload msinfo and dxdiag as most of you might know.
5 gm's later (Game kept crashing with my pc for some reason) the 6th gm said it had found traces of honorbuddy crashing in those logs.
After telling some BS story he told me that i would receive some kind of email.
Thing is, i didn't receive one.
So, some more computer crashes and gm's later (8th finally managed to fix it by letting me add extra lines of code somewhere somehow...) I asked into the matter again and i couldnt get a proper answer out of him.
So, he took my story into consideration and made a nice 'note' about my account.
So now im not sure whether im flagged or not. I dont mind soft botting, but it still got me worried, can any of you tell me some more about this?

is there any chance you could upload the logs (remove any personal info of course)? I'm curious to see where/how they saw hb crashing in them.

HB crashed my pc last night too! made sure that i unticked 'send to blizz' i've heard they are noticing HB in the crash logs!

In Msinfo, simply hit ctrl+f and typ in: honorbuddy
That should find all the times that HB crashed during a WoW session

Why oh why didn't you just do a fresh install of WoW and/or your OS instead of asking for GM help?

NEVER, EVER, EVER SEND MSINFO. your bots are 'deaded'

To be honest, they can't ban you for having a program called HonorBuddy.exe I can make a program that does nothing to wow, Thats not against the terms of agreement. But of course you will have an extra eye on you, lay low on the account or do heavy manual labor on it for a couple of days.

They will monitor your character and they will see its manually played and no reason to keep it under track.

Because I already did a reinstall, i forgot to mention that, sorry.
Even after that the game still wouldn't work.
And reinstalling my OS and installing all my games all over again takes a lot of time since i dont have an external HDD

When I was reading your post this is exactly what I was thinking. If you are using a 3rd party software that could have an impact on your game it is best to never ask a GM about crashing problems.

For me it goes like this.

Crashing without botting. A crash every couple weeks.

Crashing while botting. A couple crashes every couple days.

I didn't mind the crashing.

I just wanted to clean up the folders (cache, wtf etc.)

After deleting them, or rather, renaming, the game stopped working completely for some weird reason. But it's fine, i'll just do some soft botting and just assume i'm flagged.

My advice is, if you only got one harddrive, split it up, 100gb for Windows, rest for games, program installs, music and movies.

I do use a NAS myself, but i still have my harddrives split like this: Windows 8 partition (100GB); Torrent partition (500GB); Movies and Music partition (500GB); Games partition (500GB); Program and game installs partition (400GB).

This way you only have to format your windows partition and everything else is still on your computer. The reason i have a partition for my installation files for nearly all the programs i use, are that they do not work after you reinstall windows, but its alot quicker than downloading them all again.

Hope you find this useful
