Ok here's the deal

After the banwave of 16th of December where i got my 1st bans,I tried to restart over.Formated pc's changed ip's etc.I started with 1 account i leveled it up manualy to 100 botted with gatherbuddy for 4 hours in the afternoon closed it for the night then the next morning i botted again with gatherbuddy for like 4-5 hours 100% supervised when i got a perm ban on it.Yes perm ban on 1st offense on that account.I gave it some time and few days ago i made 2 fresh accounts manualy leveled them up.Again formated pc's new ip's etc.I started farming with gahterbuddy with new routes and new cr's on one account 2 days ago.Not so many hours maybe 3-6 hours in two sessions always supervised.Today i was running around tanaan without the bot (Bot was not started at all) with that account while i opened HB on the other account i hadn't run HB so far just to set it up,HB worked on the account for lets say 3-5 minues and i pressed start for less than a minute to see if it's working ok and then i closed hb.Two minutes later both my accounts got PERM bans on 1st offense again.

OK. Here's what i think. HB is crap.It's 100% detectable and they will ban you no matter what.i mean when you get a perm ban on a 3-5 minute usage on a fresh account on a total new internet and machine setup it means they can detect the bot.If someone else tells you otherwise it's total BS.Yes i won't bot on an account i don't want to lose.Yes i know botting has a surtain amount of risk.No i will not accept that paying 20Euro on an account to bot with HB for a few minutes is worth anything.HB is done and beaten.Unless the devs can actualy DO SOMETHING about it using HB is a waste of money and time.

That's my two cents.

 

Its not proven thad ip actually are the reason for banning.
I have been running bots for months on same ip some getting banned some didin't.

This here is your problem. botting in the open sky for everyone to report you!

i suggest you checkout some garrison bots or maybe dungeons.

Why don't you write your own bot then? HB is a great piece of software and the sky is the limit to what you can do.

The Key is SMART Botting bot only at places where people cant report you.

you probably where just unlucky maybe someone made a ticket you never know.

I guess your probably saying all this because your frustrated and i get it...

But hp is alive and well and ready to fight off blizz (take a look at the legal section)


I hope for you thad you have better luck next time when botting

 

i'm only giving my two cents mate.I'm only writing this as a heads up for the community.2 ban reports where writen a bit after i wrote this post check them out.Even accounts linked to guilds that never boted before are getting perm bans.As about your comment about farming on the open sky,i did my research i was farming on dead servers.I hardly saw ANYONE on those servers not while botting not while at the village.Anyway i'm not here to argue with anyone i just write about what happened to me along with my opinion.You're welcome to aggree or not with it.I still hope you have a nice botting experience and don't have to put up with what i had to.

 

people only see what they wanna see and are only aware of what affects them.
Your words will be read but your message will not.

 

I could see your external (modem) IP address being flagged, this would mean changing the IP address of you machines would do nothing to hide your presence. Masking your external IP with a VPN may help. Also, my gut says movements patterns are being tracked now...and players reports are on the rise.

I've never been banned, but I fully expect to at this point. Although I only use CRs with manual movement, no auto-face ect in PVE only. So far so good.

Don't you think that maybe they are seeing that your payment method is the same as the one you used for accounts that got baned, and they might track your new accounts by that?

 

Not a chance mate.Bought new boxes from a shop.I did not purchase online

And your point is...

 

You have no idea what ur doing

 

And with that, we're closing this thread before it degenerates into a flame war.

Indeed, the originating post was a grossly horrible mis-analysis of the situation.
