Dear Buddies, I am writing today with a smile on my face, not because I wasn't banned. But because I could stand up after the ban. I am currently running 8 bot accounts and today I received emails for two of them getting banned. Of course I was pissed off at first but I tried to remember my past failures and what I did different this time. Allow me to share with you that overall I've had 15 accounts banned (12 which I could never get back). And I believe I have *discovered* a way not to avoid bans, but to overturn them. If you think this is just an appeal template that you can use with no previous set-up, then please stop reading and go away. This actually requires some effort to do but the results are satisfying. First off: I was using GB2 with self made profiles, alternating them every 2-3 hours. For about 6-10 hours daily. I was banned last night however. I believe no matter how cautious you are with your bots, you WILL GET BANNED FOR USING GB2/BGBUDDY despite of what the majority says. It's just a matter of how and when. BUT YOU CAN BE PREPARED FOR THE BAN Well there's really no way to see it coming, but you have to make sure you have a wildcard for your actions. This will not work 100% but it has yet to fail me. 1. Don't bot for too long periods of time, make it look like a real human with other needs. 2. Don't leave your bot alone if you know it's not reliable (questing, gb2, bgbuddy) 3. DO HUMAN THINGS: Arenas, world pvp, gurubashi arena, darkmoon faire stuff, rated BGs, etc. Things that do not have a bot made for them. 4. Come up with a good story that reflects a little anger, dislike and passion. 5. Create a ticket and explain what happened, you got the email, etc. Now tell them you did X Human things and that they had no reason to ban you for doing Y because it's your common behavior. Also talk about your friends, build a friend list, don't go full afk retard mode. As I said, this might not always work, but reading these lines can put a smile on anyone's face: As a side note, I will soon open a thread about my conspiracy theories for HonorBuddy which have some kind of validity so stay put if you are interested in a good read.
If they think you are botting they will "carefully" investigate your account and they will see the process running of honorbuddy, it's something you can't hide so it don't matter whether your are doing human things or whatever, if you have the bot open and a gm investigates you then you've fuc*ed it
Hi WizLucas, there's no such thing as seeing the process of Honorbuddy running. And I'm showing you proof that I've been unbanned. If the process was in fact detected please explain how I'm running 5 partybots in dungeons with no bans at all. If the process was in fact detected please explain why they don't ban the big time botters with a lot of money to invest?
As I said if the gms investigate you, they don't just automatically detect it without investigating you.. I was recently un-banned to from a permanent suspension, also check this thread http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/ban-section-ban-reports/117205-new-tos-line-when-you-create-new-bnet-account.html
I don't usually agree with such arrogant answers but I'm going to have to break my principle on this one.
You might wanna do some reading m8, blizzard had law suit once already for invading of privacy and they lost it and had to pay a lot of money. It's just out of their reach.
