My theory About the bans

I think blizzard is tracking the amount of nodes farmed per day for people the ones like 1000+ and listed or something just looking through the bans
I only see like 1-600 herbing/mining and gatherbuddy bots just my theory

 

One of mine just got perm banned farming herbs/mines

 

me too

 

So make your bots farm for shorter periods of times on slower mounts to decrease your NPH to probably somewhere around average and then make your bot cycle toons/activities/accounts.

Botting is getting riskier once again as the Eye of Blizzard turns upon.

 

There are lots of indicators blizzard could use to detect bots server without invading our privacy, node count, what client your using, click to move, the points your char bisects on their servers. any of those could be used as red flags to further investigate someone and make a determination. Idk, i dont know a everything about databases but this stuff could be tracked.

 

This isn't theory. It's fact. An ex Blizz cm did an ama on reddit. Google it. He talks about what they used to determine a botter.

 

Could you provide a link? Im having troubles finding it.

 

Woah

Thanks, I dont do reddit so I dont know what to look for.

I wish they would have asked more questions about bot detection :/

Something happened to the original. But it was talked about here.

 

I just got permantly banned on my main account for 30 minutes a day of use on bot as LFR and some dailies......and 100% watching it

 

You got banned for something you did before that.

 

That mystery GM post seems awful dubious to me. Why not spill the beans? Why does this person leave some things unsaid?

If they are looking at NPH then surely they are also looking at other hidden counters and flags on a player character when the automation system kicks in. But this person says nothing regarding that so maybe just has a cursory understanding of what the automated detection tool does.

Of course it should be common knowledge that regulars get caught up in it too. Still, seems wrong to take this at face value. Could mean this person knows more and declined to go further or knew much less and speculated. Either way unsatisfying.

 

If you haven't noticed there were a few gms that tried to do amas, most of them got deleted because he broke the nda. It was from 7 months ago if you can find it. It wouldn't be worth it to have Blizzard sue your assistance over something so little.

 

maybe all they need is to make a different account and change their ***** .

Seriously though I'm suprised so many people keep quiet about GM operations, One thing I thought was weird was that GM's are all in game, I thought for sure they would have a lighter SAP style tool for dealing with people's problems. Sure you can go in game but I would imagine 90% of the tickets you dont need to hop on a toon in order to handle. Seems like running the wow client is kindof heavy and dumb for the most part.

 

Breaking terms of a no disclosure agreement is not only grounds for a lawsuit but you are effectively barred from ever having another job of that kind. Software companies are BIG on criminal records purely because of intellectual property theft.

 

Yeah I know, Im just saying there are ways to be anonymous on the internet, I'm surprised so few people have tried.

 

Do you understand lawsuit?

 

How do you sue someone you cant find?

 

Here is the conversation of the Tier 2 Game master, Seems google made a copy of it ^^
