And yet another insta-ban using Honorbuddy.....

Well, final nail in the coffin for me using HB. First of all, BL decided to take my 4 keys and call them frauds. And of course no reply when I contacted them directly. So I bought a new one today, as well as a clean WoW account. Fired both up and bam! 15 minutes later I get D/C'd and this in the email....

Greetings,

Account Name: ********

Account Action: 6-Month Suspension

Offense: Use of Bots or Third-Party Automation Software

Blizzard Entertainment has suspended this World of Warcraft account after identifying the usage of bots or other ***** software.

These programs (commonly called *****s, bots, or hacks) automate certain aspects of gameplay, or provide unintended advantages and abilities to the player. This type of *****ing undermines other players' experience and severely upsets the balance of the game environment.

The account holder is responsible for all activity on the account. We issue suspensions and closures to protect our players and our service in accordance with our Terms of Use: blizzard.com/company/about/termsofuse.html

Along with this suspension, we've removed some currencies and inventory associated with the account involved in this exploitive behavior. We don't take this decision lightly. Our team issued this suspension only after a careful review of relevant evidence. Our support staff will not overturn this penalty and may not respond to appeals. For more information, see our article:

This World of Warcraft account will be reactivated on 2016/07/05.

Thank you for your time and for understanding.

Regards,

Customer Support

My poor toon barely made level 5 only using enyo and the default CR before he got banned!!!

So I guess I'm going to stay away from HB from here on out.

 

Troll fail post 0/10.

Bye

 

Spot on Camel!

 

My clean WoW accounts don't get a 6 month vacation they get perma banned and no e-mail lol

 

this guy probably used other botting programs because some of them had banwaves yesterday. HB is 100% fine right now

 

I love the people who try and farm gold and then wonder why they get their Unique bits flagged. Read the forums lads.

 

Considering his post history, he's just another banned and butthurt guy trolling the forums. Perhaps a nice fat preemptive mute is in order?

 

possibly; HB is in a tough spot. People get banned, they blame HB and only HB. It's symptomatic of society; they refuse to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions (WHICH CARRY KNOWN, INHERENT AND UNAVOIDABLE RISKS).

 

I find it amusing that nobody who gets banned seems to ever use any other hack/bot etc. EVER.

I got myself a 180 day suspension too but i don't sit saying i never used anything else, i did. I tried EWT(a hack program to fly, teleport, track etc.) and i am 99,99% sure that the cause of my ban is that and NOT HB.
But that's me..

 

Probs because we don't use them

 

George Carling comes to my mind - Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

If a super majority of the community was not banned and only a few numbers were, there is nothing wrong with honorbuddy - It is THAT simple.

You either botted very bad or you used another third party program and since multiple people were banned from EWT during the exact same time. Well, you probably can manage to do the math.

Oh, and the irony when a *****er says he ain't using other *****s.. That's like a liar saying he ain't telling any other lies.

 

God, how many crap in just one post.

You know not a ****ing single thing about botting? then just keep yourself shut. Else, you'll spit something like your post, and you'll be marked as retarded for good.

What YOU do is completely irrelevant. You are not the center of the universe, sorry for that.

 

Actually, just like you, i am a user of this bot so no, it is not irrelevant what i, or any other customer of honorbuddy does.

Using the word retard just showed me that you lack the maturity to have a discussion with so i'm gonna leave you with that retard wording and a link for you to educate yourself with - http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/retard

Then again, retarded is also used by kids as a slang with a different meaning nowadays, but most people don't even know what it actually mean, like yourself.

 

You are making it worse on you.

And yes, individual experiences, no matter if they are good or bad, are irrelevant for statistical purposes.

It is not me who claimed that all Hb users use other bots or hacks . It was you. Based on your personal obviously all-knowingly experience. And to spice that up, you inserted a ridiculous analogy between liars and botters.

Begone.

 

Actually Cyphoner is quite correct. If there would be a software detection running right now, you would see shit loads of ban threads.
Of yourse we don't know whether you would get insta or delayed banned, but for sure the thread count would be higher than now.

 

ofcourse they blame Honorbuddy its the only thing what get their account banned if you play legit you wont be banned blizzard knows when your botting or not im playing now for a month on a legit account with a vpn and not banned but when ever i use hb i get banned so ofcourse people blaming hb for that because you wont get banned without hb

 

Then, you would never know if you are banned let's say, in July, if your detection was then, now, or it was 2 months ago.

Which should be an interesting banning behaviour by blizzard, in order to properly obfuscate their "detection".

Are they a billion-dollar worth company? Then we can safely bet they have better minds than yours and mine to find that out.

What we know is that the amount of people botting with Hb is much lower than it was. Some will say that it is radically lower. double-digits lower.

So, any percentage based amount of bans is supposed to take that into account, correct?

Complete speculation on your side. A factual approach considering recent events, is that they tend to do "banwaves" WHENEVER THEY FEEL LIKE IT with the info and flagged accounts they recolect. Just like it happen twice in the past.

If you took the ban section as a reference, you can see waters were pretty calm before that. That obv didn't mean it was safe for our accounts, did it?


Allow me to remark that may or may not think that Hb is detected. What I'm stating is that the information available to us is insufficient to make statements about it.

 

2 Ban waves recently after YEARS of security and all of a sudden 'the sky is falling @ HB!!!'... get real.

If a 3rd one goes out, I'll start to give these people's opinion some consideration.

But the first wave was due to everyone getting too comfortable, the botters themselves (remember all those videos of bot trains in BGs, and how the community was in legit uproar?) and probably the dev team as well, seeing as how they've avoided detection for so many years. Mistakes were made on BOTH sides, and blizzard was DESPERATE to make a stand on botting due to the TERRIBLE bg situation. So the may banwave happened.

The 2nd banwave, was due to a fatal error on the dev team and tripwire WASN'T EVEN RUNNING, we had LITTLE protection, an easy move for blizz. Given the additional backlash I highly doubt they'll ever make that mistake again.

In short, botting is safe as it ever was currently. I have an bnet account whom character and achievements would probably fetch me 2k+ if I choose to sell, and I'm still using combat rotations and doing light questing on it, because the game isn't worth damn without HB at this point, to me.

IF YOU ARE STILL getting banned after those banwaves, it is SEVERSIDE that's getting you. I have no doubt that blizzard stepped up their server side detection mechanics and once they find out you're a naughty botter (gold farming, selling, mass AH, 18+hrs play a day) they will probably link you and all future accounts to the same banned account, and do manual reviews of your play. IN SHORT, if you're still getting banned, it's completely your own fault.
