Blizzard claims to see Honorbuddy on my computer?

You've shown that you're a moron yourself dude, more than anything in this world, this is all written in the blizzard's anti cheat agreement, is not a rumor you idiot. If you think it's hard for blizzard to scan your pc for honorbuddy then you're an even more advanced stupid moron.

 

This community wouldn't exist then, moron . Only your stupidity is detected, mad?

Forgive the caps, not mine.

I'm not saying they do see (or are able to see) what goes on with your computer, but the tou does give them permission to spy on the playerbase.

 

After reading this thread and considering all that was said, I have a bit more input.

I have a main bnet account with several attached to it, those were given the ban >suspension. I was on timeless isle farming epoch stones with a friend and pulled all I possible could. Sometimes Id pull mobs on other people as well. All that ended up doing was killing their mobs for them, not stealing their tag. This one person was angry because I was tagging and killing fast and he yelled at me a few times, I ignored him. This probably pissed him off more, I think he reported me. I was not botting on the account. And all three accounts on my bnet were affected

However. I have many more bnet accounts which I bot randomly and never for longer than I could stand to play them myself. I do bot on these and I was running two on the same computer while playing my main. So yes if blizzard scanned my computer they saw HB up and running.

Lesson learned: Do not bot on the computer you are playing your main on, even if the bot is attached to a different account. Get a vpn too. dont use your same full name on all the accounts and do not pay with your credit card on them buy game time.


So now, I haven’t botted since. I think using another computer and keep it separate from my main accounts computer would work. This should save my main account in the future.

 

It's in the EULA because it's something they used to do. Do you not understand what USED TO DO means ? They stopped doing it because it is illegal and violates several privacy laws. The fact that its still in the EULA just means they're lazy and never update it. It's a scare tactic, and little bitches like you fall for it. Get over it. You got banned because of your own stupidity.

 

^^^Umm...ZERO...if you can provide me with PROOF...that they don't do this anymore...that'd be much appreciated...because I think you're pulling that shit, out of your ass^^^

So...If blizz can look into your processes...Then I ask you...what would be the very first fucking thing you should do? Perhaps...maybe...rename your "HONORBUDDY.EXE"?????? I've done this from day-0...before i even used HB the first time. Now...Is this "foolproof"? absolutely not...but...it makes it so they cant just look at your processes and see "HONORBUDDY.EXE"...do you think they're retarded...and just wont notice?

In summation: RENAME YOUR FUCKING HB.EXE's

ProTip: Rename it to something discreet...like "Essay1-ENG101"


Now...I dont have the patience to write out a giant "How not to get banned" article...but I've read a lot of BAD advice in response to this.

1. You don't need a VPN...or a Proxy server...or anything like this...and this will do nothing to protect your accounts from being banned...the most this might do is protect your main account if you only bot on the others.
2. Reduce the amount of TicksPerSec on honorbuddy...You don't need it spamming 200 times a sec. 30 is plenty...hell, 15 is plenty.
3. MAKE YOUR OWN FUCKING GATHERING/GRINDING PROFILES!!! AND MAKE THEM FUCKING LONG AND COMPLEX!!! I cannot stress this enough!!! If you know ANYTHING about advanced Anti-Botting Techniques, then you know that they can look at "Heat Maps" to see the spots that people travel...So say your blizz, and you see that 1000+ people all travel the EXACT same fucking path...and not just the same route...but the exact same spots, 500 times over 8 hours? Now, while this isn't damning in itself, it can certainly FLAG your account as suspicious and they will eventually investigate further.
4. Just be smart...read other anti-ban articles...AND FOR FUCKS SAKE DON'T use the PVP bot unattended...You look like a bot, you act like one, and there's 9-39 other people WATCHING YOU BOT...it's stupid...don't do it AFK.
5. This is perhaps the most important....BE CONSISTENT! This is to say...if you play in 32-bit mode when you bot, and 64-bit when your not...red flag...if you normally only play 2-4 hours a day...but then all of a sudden you pull a 32 hour farming session...red flag...If you hardly even auction anything, and then all of a sudden you have 350 stacks of Netherweave Cloth on the AH....red flag...

To be consistent, I NEVER play w/o HB...I always have it on...and I don't do combat w/o it. I do my best to avoid Farming profiles, and usually set up my own...HALF of the common ones are bugged in some sort of way or another anyway.

ILL SAY IT AGAIN...BE CONSISTENT!!! BE CONSISTENT!!!

And last but not least, close Battle.net while you play (not necessary) and launch WoW directly from its EXE file. I dont know "how much" this really does...probably nothing...but it's the little thing that get people caught. BE CONSISTENT! Don't hand them the damning information on a silver platter...make them fight for it.

 

You know the law in the US is whatever the fuck a jury agrees to it's different in europe especially in germany.

 

Dude, don't throw out advice when you have no idea what is going on. I have been botting for years now and never once renamed HB.exe or have gotten banned. I got suspended once WHILE botting due to my characters name and that was it.

The end result here is nothing really. Nobody knows what blizzard does to detect bots on the clients side, if I had to guess I would lean towards they dont do much minus looking for people messing around with the WoW program itself.

 

Yes, Essay1-ENG101.exe is full proof. HB Dev team should hire you for head of security for all their bots. We'd be sailing forever towards botland.

 

Fool not full. And just drop it, he has one post and has zero idea of whats really going on.

 

Umm...bull shit I dont know what's going on...I've been using HB for 4 years or so now...And I know excatly what the fuck is up...

And ZERO...all you did was try and insult my intelligence...you have not provided me with any proof that what you said, was not completely pulled from your ass.

 

yea and if apple has a line that any apple employee is allowed to fuck you in the ass you would gladly bend over because ... hey its written in the agb ...

agbs do not stand above the law and if certain mechanics involve breaking standing law then when blizzard does this what breaks the law it makes them liable. they only put it in so they can use whatever means are not against the law.

so no blizzard can not simply scan my pc like some hacker because if i ever would find out i would sue them for whatever amount of money i could possibly get

 

/ignore

 

And you would Lose...Look at companies like Punkbuster, Steam, and any number of other companies that offer anti cheat. They are even more invasive then warden. They are well within their rights to scan processes and make sure that no processes are altering Memory in their program...WHEN YOU AGREE TO ALLOWING THEM TO DO IT...it just fucking common sense. It would however be extremely illegal if they did it WITHOUT telling you that they were...then you could sue their asses to your hearts content.

 

Yeah...because you can't...and you got caught...and you don't like it...so...provide conclusive evidence that they no longer scan...and I'll gladly shut up.

 

Did I ever say...THE WAY THEY CATCH YOU IS THIS!? No, I merely made a suggestion...and you had to be a douchebag and put me in my place...Well kudos to you sir...you're cool! Shooting people down for making suggestions. 10 Points to Slytherin!

 

I guess I'm just not sure how I, all of a sudden, am a idiot jackass for trying to help people? Someone mind explaining? I'm not trying to say that this is canon law or anything...it's just things to consider...why does everyone hate me!? lol

 

no its not illegal you agreed with them that they could ! lol

 

also don't try to block warden from communicating with blizz that will also get you banned !

i use 2 different bnets, 2 different pc's, i run off neighbours inet and, is paid for with another persons card (friend ofc) and is registered the same as the card.

so far so good.

truth , don't wanna get banned don't bot simples. !

 

just to clarify my bot account has been banned a few a time and i just generate a new bnet. so far this has not effected my main account

every time i get the same auto generated email and every time so far blagged a 72 hr before perma
