TESTING Bans on New Accs US realm

[thatrandomrogue]

Ok so far I have 1 account running 24/7 non-stop, no IP address change at all, using home IP(timewarner), it's been 3days 3hrs and some mins. I have not turned it off at all it's been doing BGs for 12 hrs and tanking Dungeons the next 12hrs. I've been told that there's an auto-script made by Blizzard that auto-bans you....no sign of that so far. Will update as soon as I'm banned, hopefully I don't it's inviting so many ppl to my guild hah. Will be doing many more test to see exactly how the auto-script works if it actually exists, I see no sign of it so far.

Edit: I have not chatted at all, just sending guild invites w/PimpmyGuild

Again this is just testing to see how long it takes, I want to see if there is a pattern between the bans I'll get(going to doit atleast 20-30times), nothing more.

if they had it automatic and always happen then it would be easy to avoid wouldn't it? You are just flagged that doesn't mean you get banned on the spot or banned at all. If the trap was always in the same spot the chicken would never step on it.

There is absolutely a script that automatically bans, I called Blizzard and they verified they have implemented a new system that automatically detects when you're botting, my assumption it has to do with non talking + long hours online. I was botting on 6 new accounts for roughly just over 60 hours and they got suspended automatically for 72 hours, I also noticed my friends 6 accounts got suspended as well after 60 hours, then suddenly, my 2 year old accounts botting on a whole different location (My work location, completely different IP) also got banned, but since ive been botting my work location 2 year old accounts for 8 months 24/7 nonstop, it was very odd to me that suddenly after all this time botting 24/7 id get banned there, totally different IP and acount not related to these 6 new accounts, (Different ip since the 6 new are being run at my home, and my 2 year old accounts ive been mining with for 8 months 24/7 have been running at my work location on a different modem/IP)

My friend, who bought 6 accounts as well, has since been completely banned on all 6 of his accounts (Account closures, they wont budge on appeals of reopneing it) and when he called to talk to Blizzard, they confused there is a system that automatically detects, and then the admins actually manually investigate the account and verify, once they do you get banned permanantely

This is really bad, I think Honorbuddy is not safe anymore, they've found a way to detect it, its not as safe as it used to be

When my friend called Blizzard, I mean to say they confessed that there is a new system that is automatically detecting this, my assumption is that it has to do with one or more of these things: Not talking much, constant grinding or questing for long hours, possibly and most likely walking pathways have been compromised and they are using that from kicks scripts to detect players running those exact scripts, or it's all together possible they've found a way to detect honorbuddy or specific patterns of use that honorbuddy does and continually repeats every second it's being used and only those set of commands or skills/spells it uses, never using anything else, and they detect it, either way, it's a new system, it never existed before

Like I said, I've been botting for 2 years now, Honorbuddy is my favorite and most advanced bot ive ever used, and it's so amazing and it's extremely sad that its so compromised
I really wish this was not the case, my friend spent 600 dollars buying 6 accounts and two 3 session honorbuddy keys, and now within a week and a half, he's lost all 6 accounts

This is not how it was before, and I specifically opened an account about 6 months ago for my friend, when she played for roughly 4-8 hours a day, id let her play, when she logged off, i'd log on and bot a paladin, so even tho it was a new account, it was online 24/7, and being botted 3/4ths of the time, and now suddenly, new accounts are automatically being flagged, hell my old 2 year old accounts that ive been botting on 24/7 for 8 months NON STOP have suddenly started getting shot down, this never happened before, and even tho i bot 24/7 on those older accounts, they are on a different IP completely unassociated with my new accounts, and on a different server, its definitely not coincidental that all these accounts are getting banned once after another now, or suspnded automatically by their new script for 72 hours - Look at the ban section, there's 15 posts every day of new bannings, not to mention all those people not posting - something is definitely wrong, and completely unsafe with honorbuddy, admins, please do something here to help

i call bullshit ,.. i think you o caught by the bot-police ,... people that also use bots, they know how your bot is interacting i dungeons
because they do it the same way. And in the case, that they are fucked up of other botters they report you ...

when i?m in a dungeon, after a few pulls - i know which char is a person or a bot.
But i?m not a retard so i carry them throuh the dungeon as a tank

u told 12 hours dungeon botting - ~ 12-24 Dungeons 48-96 people that could also bot and report you when you are AFK
(AFK - the bot playes for you)

in this case 1 + 1 = 2
12 hours of botting dungeons with people that are bot hater = 96 potential reporter

Please keep us up to date, im really wondering how it will go

HB/GB not detected.
IF you bot 24/7 then sooner or later your getting hit with the stick.
IF you use public gathering profiles sooner or later your getting hit with the stick.
Also bot hunters know public routes, sit where they know people will pass and report, Blizz investigates...hit with the stick.

And most people that have been around for a few years, pre-glider, and a few that haven't know they usually get a load of accounts flagged and ban at the same time rather than on a 1 by 1 basis. Mainly to keep bot writers on their toes and keep users guessing, because that's all it is a guess, about why they got banned and create hysteria. And look, it works.

If HB/GB were detected there wouldn't be a court case going on right now.

Edit: and that's not to take way from the OPs testing. Carry on as you see fit ofc, we like experiments Only reason you will get flagged/banned imo would be time online and/or player reports. But since there are people that play 18hrs day by hand and other accounts that people share between them and thier siblings/children/spouses and are online 24/7 i even have my doubts about the amount of time online being a problem.

i wouldnt risk botting 24/7 its always a risk to get a ban quicker bot like 10 hours a day and let it res for a few hours

the ban reports section is for ban reports only.
