I have a quick, probably silly, question. I've just noticed that when looting something or accepting new quests and such, it seems the bot moves too quickly, more quickly than a human could. It's seems a bit sketchy. Maybe it's just me. I don't particularly know much about the bot itself. But, I've been banned while using gatherbuddy before for using the mailing system, and I was told that it was because the bot could string code faster than a person could, and was wondering if this applied here as well? If anyone could enlighten me, that would be delightful.
Short answer: No one knows. Long answer: Blizzard does have detection in place, I firmly believe they have updated some detections for GB as the ban rate for GB as gone up (no way near enough to call it a ban wave though). It's perfectly possible for them to detect anything we do if there is a trait in HB that thousands of bot's do that human players dont. But no one knows other than Blizzard.
addons that accept quests just as quickly. and its pretty easy to choose rewards aswell, there is usually a pattern.
