[Question] Warden 2.0

[Hawker]

i am, and im sure many others, are very skeptical of botting with the new warden. I read over at mmowned that Apoc said it was completly rewritten. Now, you dont spend the time in resources completly rewriting an anti-cheat system for nothing. And they had to of been working on it for quite awhile. I doubt this is somthing that was created in a night. \

So what me real question is, what changed in the new warden? are there new and more frequent scans? scanning out of process?

Id assume the devs could answer some, if not all of these questions since they feel ready to release a new version of their product.

Again, i have botted for many years, i know the risk, but i have a gut feeling about this one.

Can I answer your question with a question?

If I post here what we know and Blizzard uses that to ban all our users, will you thank me for being so open and honest?

You have all read it wrong, Apoc didn't say it was completely re-written, the tripwire on how it detects bots is basically re-written. (It has some new features added)

I confess I am curious about how Warden does what it does, but thats only from a personal interest and curiousity about all things interesting. But, by no means give up the game to them by making the buddy protection methods public - although we know you won't. I'm sure nobody else here wants you to either. I think this thread is just idle speculation and chatter among those of us not in the loop, as it were.

Well, one would think they would develop Warden to defeat current tripwire methods. By not showing their hand until its time to play it, they could supprise the botting world and catch many people out. Otherwise, whats the point of making any changes to Warden if existing products can remain undetected and safe, unless you had a trick up your sleeve. I'm not trying to be mr negative, but I can't be the only person to imagine this scenario, and I would think anyone worth their salt at Blizzard would have thought of this as well.

I am totally with you on that.
I think it comes down to faith - do you have faith that the dev team knows what they are doing? Do you have faith that they want there own product to work, and to continue making money? I think they do. And if they do manage to get it all wrong, and get everyone banned - the company will probably loose there credibility and reputation, thereby sparking no new sales ($$) - doubt they want that.
In the end, botting is a risk no matter how you bad ass dev makes the product.
