I was on my farmtoon, and just spent the last 4 hours leveling it to lvl 90 (manually, doing quests for The Klaxxi and mining and herbing wathever came on my path), no bot at all.

I finally dinged, happy to be able to start farming for real, bought the flying license in The Shrine of Seven Stars, cleared out my bags and replaced them with some brand new 36 slots mining and herbalism.

I headed out to Townlong Steppes, downloaded and opened the Profile from xsilverdicex and hit the startbutton on GatherBuddy2.

After the 5th mine or so, I encountered some adds and CLU was taking care of this for me
Then, I've got a Critical Error from WoW, so I rebooted my computer, restarted WoW, logged in, and :

'This Account has been locked and is no longer available for futher use, blablabla ... '

Started a ticket, perma-ban changed to 72hours ban for use of third party software Mr Blizzard, you must be mistaking, I wouldnt do that sort of things

So hb is detectable and easy to catch so many bans because of 3rd party program not just abuse of economy that is mean hb is so risk to run right know good for me i stoped botting from yesterday, anyway mate sorry for your lost.

 

[Bene21]

if hb would be detectable, blizzard would NEVER unban those players.

 

[NiCeXoTiC]

No I didnt use the send button. I never do, with any program for that matter.

It could be someone reported me, although I'm pretty sure nobody was around when it happened. But I must say that that toon has been mining and herbing alot the last days for easy leveling and making some money at the same time. It leveled using grindbot from 85 till 89, give or take some dungeon or 3 I ran manually.

it was only 1 account i have 4 i bot since glider like 5 6 years now i dont cryed about it but afther i used public profiles for mining herbing i started to make my own paths now its mutch safer also it was a own stupid fault of my i farmed 12 hours a day in uldem constantly with the same route and evrytime i saw 3 4 people flying in the same way i bet they reported my by stealing their mines lol but ye i just go over it.

 

[NiCeXoTiC]

so 20 auctions..botting 3 hours a day..sounds very innocent & low key..

is that your consistent play? never more auctions..12+ hours gathering?

It kinda is yes. I have had a ban on another account some time ago (like a year ago) for flooding the AH, I was just starting to bot back then and wanted to clear out my guildbank so started posting a lot of things (old mats I had gathered of the years of playing) It wasnt a justified ban back then, but because I had just started to use HonorBuddy, and the ban came just before I went on a Holiday, it didnt bother me much.

But both accounts are not really related to each other, different emails, different payement methods.

I do use Lazyraider all the time when I go raid with my guild, but that is offcourse allways superviced, and allways with guildmates, I dont pug, I lead the raid and never leave my toon AFK with lazyraider.

I allways make sure I dont post more than 10 stacks of 2 or 3 different mines or ores at the same time.

My guess is report for the Valley of The Four Winds grindbot profile I used last couple of days. It is a great place to farm, but rather small in size, and running around at that place for 3 or 4 hours since release of MoP maybee kinda suspicious.

And I never use my mainaccount for farming anymore. Since Real-ID friendslist it isnt possible to hide anymore because a lot of my guildofficers have my realID (i'm guildmaster and I wanna have realID from all of my officers). So farming is allways done on my second account, and never when I am online with my mainaccount.

I did make around 70k gold in the last few days, so maybee someone noticed that I posted alot at AH, even not at the same time ?

HB is clearly not detectable, else these bans would not be converted to 72h and there'd be many thousands of them, not dozens. Please don't go claim things like that.

 

[ceca]

if selfmade profile or public...
what is happening if the profile loops..?. same waypionts, same route. so will blizz see if somebody is using a bot, because a natural person will nether fly through the same coordinates may it x y or z axis ?

 

[BigTasteXL]

Blizzard wrote to me, that I am using illegal 3rd party software. AND that they detected it by scanning my RAM.

yep hb is detectable cuz 5% hb users got baned and 95% including me are boting with no problem, sure... derp

Yes! I was banned and they told me it was my neighbor who reported me. He working for Blizzard.He was drilled a hole in the wall and watched me as I use HB.
Blizzard told me that.
