Not banned, only used hearthbuddy, got 9 golden portrait and stuff, been botting for 4 months + straight and was still botting yesterday for daily 100 gold cap + quests. hopefully there wont be a second wave targetting hearthbuddy , lol. I feel really fortunate for choosing hearthbuddy over other bots out there.
Honestly Buddybots are wayyyy safer, I just started using HearthCrawler because the logic was more advanced
Same here. Not banned using Hearthbuddy. Probably because Hearthbuddy uses a non-injection method. Yay Hearthbuddy finally wins out over the other bots in some way! Anyways, most Hearthcrawler users I know were banned. I think Blizzard targeted Hearthcrawler because its AI was very advanced and people were reaching legend rank using it. As for the ban itself, its an IP ban, so banned users won't even be able to play on alt accounts now. However, it is only a temporary ban for 3 months.
Think DaSoul is right. My Account has also been banned for 3 month. An alt Account which was not used for botting is still alive. It was for sure that Blizzard will take care of all the reportings and a ban wave will be coming. 2 weeks before WoD Release it is a good promotion ;-)
I'm already using a new account with the same ip. I didn't expect them to only ban for a period of time. To be honest, 3 months is nothing compared to 9/9 golden hero, thousands of gold, packs, dust, legendary rank. But somewhere they stated that this is like a "soft" banwave to warn people, next time the hammer will directly hit hard.
You're right. Hope that this is realy a only 90 days ban. and nothing has been reseted. (Cards, Card Backs, Golden Heroes, Level of heroes etc.)
Recent Actions Against Botting in Hearthstone - News - Hearthstone It is a ban until 2015, nothing changes, and its the first and only warning from Blizzard. I can't see they tought that throught, as they do make a lot of ppl unhappy, that now think that they have been disadvantaged by the bots, and now the botters do not even get what they deserved. Blizzard might have shot themselfs in the kneecap. We do not see much bans here, it looks extremely different there: Banned for botting? Let us know! - Page 7 - General Talk - The Crawler Forum 12 pages of ban reports already
