Were you banned today like you were in December? READ THIS

To end this once and for all this will explain it. The last "ban wave" in December did NOT include EVERYONE that should have been banned for the violation but rather a set rounded number of people. If they had banned everyone detected via the HB mistake then their support (already overwhelmed for the holidays) would have no chance of helping players who really needed it. At one point mid December they had to answer over 15,000 tickets in one day just to get their ques back within guidelines. Had they banned everyone this would cost Blizzard more in customer support resources than would be deemed worth it. So if you are just now receiving a 6 month ban it is most likely for that as you can receive that ban up to 60 days after the event (when ques are more in order). Until the 18th of this February you could still get hit for the December wave. 6 month bans happen because of detection and not player reports. Unfortunate as it may be any new account you create on the same device you were banned on using the same IP you were banned on could get banned until those 60 days are up. While a scan of your system may not detect HB directly I can assume you have NOT renamed HB to something new or updated the name of your machine since the ban wave? So Blizz scans the machine... Locates HB in the EXACT same spot with the EXACT same name as the last time they detected it and bam... they know you still have it.

TLDR - If you are EVER banned via banwave uninstall and reinstall all buddy products and rename them to something different. I would also install them to a "games" folder or folder that isnt "program files xxxx". They can ban you for up to 60 days after banwave for the banwave event.

Having personally seen and processed these before as of December everything on this list is true in regards to Blizzards side of it. While I made the assumption HB updates their side based on Blizzards updates I have gone through several tickets and checked the files associated with them to locate HB. This is with people requesting support with tech issues. I linked the thread so people will know that giving an msinfo to blizz ect would get you detected immediately. The people NOT banned for the December 4-12th detection (those were the exact dates) can still be banned as the information is stored for up to 60 days on Blizzards side. Creating a new account from the same IP (all IP's have the past use tracked when logging in from an IP such as account name/location) or same machine (are able to determine name of device if player is actively online when investigating) could result in a ban as meeting these two requirements would have the GM manually monitor the character and tag the 6 month banwave to it (or 18 month) as it is a continued infraction. Basically your IP/account is technically monitored for 60 days after the last wave. Can you go in to specifics on what I have given wrong? Outside the HB end of course as I have not worked for you >_<

 

you made my day.. like public enemy nr. 1 .. paranoia ftw xD "I would also install them to a "games" folder or folder that isnt "program files xxxx". " cant stop laughing :')

 

My account that got hit was not botted on during the December ban wave. I took a couple month break, and did not come back until about 4 weeks ago. Yet I was hit with 6 months, but did not bot during Dec 4-12th.

 

Sorry to say your so far wrong ita insane, 3 seperate acxounts always carefull, ans never bg, last 2 accounts of mine were brand new, and still got caught, november main account 6 months, January beginning banned again new account feb banned again new account

 

Your personal experience protecting your small number of accounts doesn't make something factual. Additionally, you have absolutely no way to prove that anything you've stated is actually true, other than your silly "experiment".
