Not open for further replies.
I just want to say whatever happens...I'll still bot in the future. lol.
 
this is what going to happens

Fellow Buddies,

We have been receiving a handful amount of ban reports recently. As we suspected on 21 Jan 2016 tripwire event,
accounts online during the event were flagged and they are being banned.

We would like to remind you that the detection that was captured by Tripwire on 21 Jan 2016 was the reason of May
and December banwaves. The same detection method has also flagged online accounts when the last event was raised.

We will be doing a new release shortly which will be avoiding the new detection mechanics.

We cannot know exactly when the new detection was rolled out for each account. As the tripwire event indicated, it was found at 21 Jan 2016 12:12 UTC. It is possible that accounts running shortly prior to this time may be flagged, but from previous events we expect to see no bans on accounts that were inactive in the 12 hours prior to the tripwire event. Accounts active closer to the tripwire time are at a higher risk of being flagged.

after tripwire in wow
same thing happens here ..... bans inc :/
 
to be honest I would love to see in the future news headlines:
blizzard buys demonbuddy for $300m and releases "bot mode" for d3

That is like paying a ransom on a kidnapping. It may seem like a good idea, but that would just encourage other companies to develop bots. Not to mention, Blizzard could develop a far better bot than the buddy team if they choose to allow it. That might actually be a good tactic for them to use in order to shut down the buddy bots. Just develop a better one, charge less, and make theirs obsolete.
 
Blizzard isn't going to buy demonbuddy. Blizzard will never create a game only so you can not play it. Get real lol.
 
Well I mean it's just better to assume the worst scenario in this situation, which is likely that we will be getting the banhammer coming to us. D3 botters and *****ers as a whole just evaded bans for this long because Blizzard had no real motive/gain for banning potentially their biggest playerbase on a franchise they probably hope to continue (I assume). But with recent findings of dumb people just blatantly using the bot for streams, public games, etc, and just not giving a fuck anymore because they think they're invincible, they're just bringing in more attention to the *****ing community.

I mean the best example I can give is the LoL community and how the *****ing community never really saw much light or attention until those 'smart ones' decided to keep showing off their 'skills' by *****ing on streams, doing things pro players couldn't possibly do, and just living for that short term adrenaline lol. Fast forward a year or two and people point fingers at everyone for scripting in that game now, and reports fly around like crazy. What used to have no bans for probably a year or two, started to experience banwaves almost every patch.

It's never best to assume the worst, just be cognizant of the potential outcomes.

Blizzard's motivation has stayed the same, just as yours. The current change in GameWarden set off TRIPWIRE to make developers aware of the need for further inquiry... in the process it set off everyone's insecurities.

People botting on streams and in public games haven't raised awareness of botting communities. Blizzard is well aware of the existence of bots. Do not blame anyone. Demonbuddy isn't some undiscovered indie band that you have decided to covet.

Play a first person shooter online and eventually you find yourself complaining about something. People are always trying to make excuses... And if you're good at a game, you will surely be accused. It's not the fault of anyone in particular. It's human nature and it happens in every genre of game, electronic or otherwise.

Show me the exact numbers of how many bans have happened in the 6 months prior to a couple popular streamers getting caught with bots. Then show me the data afterwords. There are no spikes, I assure you.

I hear much advice in the community about bans:

  • "Ban waves happen right before the release of a new patch/season and they gather intel over the course of the season,"
  • "Ban hammer comes out just after a new season begins and they monitor botting closer during the first weeks of a season,"
  • "Being signed into a community while botting can get you banned,"
  • "Having people on your friends list while botting will get you turned in and you will lose your account,"
  • "Playing Seasons makes you more likely to get banned, they don't ban non-seasonal accounts as much"

Sounds a lot like:
  • "Don't walk under a ladder, it's bad luck"
  • "Breaking a mirror is seven years bad luck"
  • "Don't open an umbrella indoors"
  • "Don't upgrade to Windows 10" (Well, we know that one is true)

There have always been bans, they just aren't always reported. You cannot blame anyone but yourself if you lose an account because you are botting.
 
Annoying ass babies making up their own correlation and causation relationships. Well said 2 cigars, 1 mag 50 special edition and 2nd a behiki 56.
 
oddly enough i wasn't botting anywhere near jan 18-25th was sick and not even enough str to maintain bot running. I have however been botting the last 3 days straight(24hrs+ straight). So I am curious when they say anyone botting in the last 12hrs of tripwire event have high likely to be banned, i dunno. either way if I get banned or not no big deal. if im banned, and I like what I see in season 6/new patch I will buy a new RoS key and bot all over again(still have like 5 d3 accounts leftover from old days that never got banned running sarkoth scripts for RMAH gold sales) so....for like $20 i can get a RoS key probably less.

Please do not solicit for advertising. Its the same as advertising—which is against the forum rules.

Well it's nice to be aware of all the outcomes, and I'd be lying if I told you or anyone that I am not being hopeful about that better outcome of it just being a precaution being made by the developers/Demonbuddy, and not something much bigger. You could say I'm just hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst is all.

I know there are reasons for being somewhat quiet about what's going on behind the scenes as this is a public forum. For all we know it's just a precautionary measure as the announcement stated to investigate the changes to some Warden update. It could be something else entirely, and people are already flagged for the next delayed banwave and this is to hopefully take measures for damage control to show they tried to do their best to minimize any casualties. I am speculating based on my experiences with other *****ing communities, and if I'm wrong I'd be quite happy to know I can bot that much longer.

And my statement about other people to blame for their actions-- I'm not trying to say I don't deserve a ban if I get one. I've *****ed on D3 just like everyone else here (why else are you in this section?). When I signed up to use the bot, I joined knowing fully well that if I get banned, I'd be to blame because I chose to break the terms of service of D3. It should be inherent for any *****er that if they get caught/banned/etc, their accounts involved will likely get banned sooner or later. I even said I was speculating in the last paragraph of my post based on my experience from another *****ing group for another game. I never even said people didn't know about Diablo 3 and its botting communities like Demonbuddy. Back then people could bot, level accounts, farm IP/XP, exploit Referral systems with the said bots. Sure people knew about it, guessed and investigated about it-- But it was the minority that noticed but could never really bring any attention to the general public for a long period of time. After a while, all it took was a single pivotal post on some platform such as Reddit with some evidence and Riot Games had to start enforcing anti-*****ing. And my direct blame was towards people like that one guy who posted a thread on here just a few days ago with 1000+ viewers just showing himself botting and not giving a care in the world. Sure, who cares it's just one person, and that person will likely get a ban and wouldn't lead to anything big. But those are all just more ammunition to be used to make Blizzard care more about working against *****ers like ourselves.

Now obviously I'm reaching a bit by comparing a very popular competitive MOBA game to a not-so-competitive game like D3, with the only remotely competitive thing is that leaderboard. But I always wonder if Riot Games would have really gone ahead and directed so much effort into banning botters/*****ers of various types if people didn't complain about it constantly to a point where it affected their playerbase. Shouldn't take much effort for Blizzard to ban a lot of careless botters on here. Hearthbuddy or the other bot, which I probably can't say since it's another platform outside of the buddy series, was running fine and no real bans until Blizzard started *****ing down and those big waves came. Again, all speculation and just me ranting based on my prior experience with another community.

TL;DR - You bot, obviously you're going to get banned at some point. That's inevitable and I never denied that fact. I never said Demonbuddy was some hidden gem of a bot that no one knew about. It's something that comes up the instant you look for any D3 related *****ing tools. I only voiced my displeasure of seeing other *****ers just trying so hard to show off their *****s and bring about unwanted attention. People know about D3 and its botters, but no one talks about it like some hot topic every single day unless their attention is brought to it. One thread for instance came up on here and showed his twitch.tv stream of him botting and there was about a 1000 viewers even after the mods took the topic off. At the end of the day, I was just ranting and clearly it's just my own opinions based on my own speculations as I've stated in my previous post. People can think what they want, I just decided to rant on here and also advise those who assume it's nothing serious, to be hopeful but also be ready for the worst possible outcome.
 
Will the time lost using demonbuddy be refunded somehow? I only purchased a 3 day license... :(
 
Look at warcraft forums for honorbuddy. Lots of people using honorbuddy were ban yesterday. Like a huge ban wave. Honestly demonbuddy was probably shut down due to precaution so it dosent happen to their diablo users too. Dont be scared. There might not even be a ban wave. I am assuming they just shut it down so they can figure out if blizzard is on to something because of what happened on warcraft.

Blizzard dosent ban bots on d3, or hasnt for years. I would be very surprised.
