Will you be botting again after the new 5/21 Bossland statement?

Am I the only one that never stopped botted? Just switched to backup product, not as good, but a nice temp replacement. Cant wait to get my HB back

 

ofcourse i wil but on another account but i dont know when hb wil be back i was hoping today

 

I am the same and agree with you. Lots of Bots but not as good as HB. But in all fairness they work, they are still online and currently working fine for me. Perhaps developers might consider brainstorming and getting a bot together between them. I am very blinkered to other bots as I do like HB the best, but the proof is in the pudding I guess Im still botting, the rest of you are still waiting for HB.

 

Nah, I'll pass. Thanks for your courtesy, though.

 

I lost 27 accounts, not too bad, and this is the first wave I've been caught in where more than runners were banned.
Will I be botting again? You bet your bottom dollar.

 

Smh

 

When I get back my account, yes I will. I said it before and will say it again. I am not gonna play wow without bot..the only reason I played wow is because it was fun with the bot. If I have to play manually, there are much more fun games out there to do so.

 

Its amazing how so many people who are not going to bot again have returned to this forum to vote on whether or not they will bot again.

 

Will I bot again? Heck yes I will.

Blizzard has made it a point to literally change the basics of the game almost each patch they have come out with. When you first started playing, people enjoyed learning how to play a class that they picked. However, Blizzard would change the way that class would be played whenever a new patch or expansion came out making it so that the player had to relearn how to play that class again. If you are one of those that has spent so much time on the game where you have many different classes, then you found yourself behind a huge power curve each time they changed something. It has become REALLY annoying. And that is what got me started with botting in the first place. Mind you that I have never been a decent player due to limitations I have, but with botting my rotations, I do fit in better.

I also believe that Blizzard kind of plays into the botting community. They want you to spend loads of time on your character doing mind numbing tasks in order to get ahead in the game. They do offer you advantages such as buying heirlooms with the gold upgrades or apexis crystal dailies to gain more gear, ect. Look at PvP where players spend numerous hours getting their faces pounded in just so they can buy the better gear and then go beat up on the other players that don't have the gear (and of course do the trash talk of how bad the player without any gear sucks). Or finding an advantage such as the Ruby Sanctum leveling "glitch" where a high level character can take an extremely low level character in to literally power level them in moments. Of course, Blizzard fixed this after about 3 or 4 months of it going main stream. But it is the players learning they can do something to better their player with less time/effort. To me, that is mentally the same as botting. (Of course, as long as it is done in moderation and not excessively which is what gets so much of the attention).

As for my take on the "ban wave" which was merely an actual "suspension wave", I am going to say that Blizzard did not ban everyone for a reason. After losing their recent case with Bossland, they made a conscious choice to try and deter people from Honorbuddy (since we all see that no one else was really targeted and the only one you hear about in the forums and media about this). Anyway, I am thinking that they did some shady tactics in order to try and identify people specifically with Honorbuddy on their system, using it, or whatever. So, I do believe that they knowingly scanned our systems in a way that they themselves said was wrong back when they were in the courts with Glider since they said Glider was utilizing information on your system that was created by the game (meaning Glider was utilizing software that was Blizzards). So, yes, this is why their legal came out with some new changes and why they pushed them out in the last few months. Since Blizzard knows that the backlash from out right banning everyone, they did a hard slap on the wrist and then literally refused any appeals. It did not matter what your excuse was. (Of course, there is all that about Blizzard violating laws and people got their accounts back, which I am not so sure happened myself.)

Anyway, that is my 2 cents. I am sure there will be trolls coming along to pick apart my opinion as these forums have been flooded with them for sometime. Both the ones that came to gloat after the "suspensions" were handed out along with the ones that have been here a while which seem to just like to argue. So have fun.

 

this!

 

Most likely not. I highly doubt it. A friend of mine got banned (I'm really happy that I dodged the hammer tbh), and I won't waste my luck again. Especially since they're not even sure what caused the ban wave to begin with. I don't blame them ofc, I(and hopefully everyone else) knew the risk before they started. And to be honest, I've started to enjoy playing manually. I almost(almost) only used it for the routines so yeah..

 

I bet if you reset the poll the answers will be alot different with the new statement they just released.

 

Personally, not going to waste time to locate the actual legal dockets and statutes put into law. If someone else feels the need to find the actual docket, do so and post it. It is out there. Blizzard can stipulate anything they like within their ToS or EULA, but that does NOT entitle them to engage in the activity. If Blizzard were to place a statement within the ToS and/or EULA that they can ACTIVELY scan your entire array of Storage Devices, Network Devices, and NAS (essentially come to your home and search with a fine microscope)... and a customer had negligently accepted those terms, does not entitle Blizzard those rights. If Blizzard were to actively engage in such activity they would be committing a very serious federal offense.

A customer reserves a legal right to store and save any type of bot, hack, or whatever media on their storage devices. If Blizzard were to actually scan your storage devices and a customer NEVER used any of the offending software which Blizzard keenly frowns upon they would have no legal right to actively terminate an account. If Blizzard were to actually engage in this type of activity they would put themselves in the worst possible position.

The only legal reservation Blizzard has, as with any game software company, is the ability to scan what is running within RAM.
