Seems to me like you are the retard, or naive. People tend to be even more dumber than this....
Let's not call each other names here.
She mentioned she was told that HB is perfectly legal and since she is looking for support at the official Blizzard forum, it may be truly a case of unethical marketing practices on the side of whoever sold it to her.
Look at all the Gold selling site. Like 9/10 of them will tell you buying WoW gold is perfectly legal and the rest will just not mention a word about ban danger.
I have seen so far just 2 sites, which actively educate their clients on the order forms about the dangers, pros and cons of each gold delivery method, and openly saying although the risk is low, it's real and it's there.
Look at the surprising number of people in the thread, though, who seem to be very familiar with bots, hacks, HB and Blizzard's ToS about that part of the game. I bet all of them are actual botters and cheaters, since none of them even asked "What is Honorbuddy" and "What are you trying to do there".
She just exposed like 6 or 7 other potential botters in this thread, and didn't get a ban on top of that, so if it's a troll, it's a brilliant troll.
