Did you get banned? Did you used other bots beside Hearthbuddy? How did you play?

This thread is for information gathering. We do not know at this point how accounts were chosen to be banned and we need to find common ground to work out a strategy. So please post information like this:

Banned: Yes/No
Bot used: only hearthbuddy/hearthbuddy and other bots/other bots (you should name them i think)
How I play: only casual for daily gold grind/golden heroes portrait farming at 20th rank/legendary grind with bot/arena
How long I bot: everyday/24h/few hours per day/few times a week/ etc.
Did anyone ever wrote to you that you are a botter and they will report you: Yes/No (like you got some friend request and people would write that they are going to report you)
Will I still bot after this wave: Yes/No/Other (precise)

I will start with mysefl:

Banned: No
Bot used: only hearthbuddy
How I play: daily gold grind on casual
How long do you bot: everyday for 3-4 hours till bot makes the daily gold cap
Did anyone wrote to you that you are a botter and they will report you: No, I do not accept any friends invites.
Are you going to still bot after this banwave: Other. I will switch to secondary account to see what happens with that account and I will wait for more information.

 

Also please do not panic. If this is your first encounter with using bots you should know that this banwaves are normal. We brake the rules and we should all be aware of danger it poses. Please also wait for developers to say something once they will have something to say about this situation.

This is not the end of botting in Hearthstone. We will rise and continue! Like we always did.

 

Banned: Yes 90 days
Bot used: only hearthbuddy
How I play: ranked for golden protraits until all heros were golden
How long I bot: everyday several hours (mostly over night)
Did anyone ever wrote to you that you are a botter and they will report you: Could be possible. in the 3 month i farmed my golden portraits i had 4-5 friend requests, but no one had been accepted.
Will I still bot after this wave: Not with my main account, cause i already stopped botting 2 weeks before as i reached 9/9 golden portraits. But with another account of course i have a lifetime HB ;-)

 

Banned: No
Bot used: only hearthbuddy
How I play: only casual for daily gold grind for now because I have completed 9/9 golden hero portraits
How long I bot: everyday, few hours per day for daily gold cap
Did anyone ever wrote to you that you are a botter and they will report you: No, declined all friend invites
Will I still bot after this wave: Yes , i bought a lifetime HB and i still have not complete collecting all the hearthstone cards even after 4 months + of botting for daily gold cap, quests and golden portraits. I will only stop after I have finished collecting all the cards. i think hearthbuddy users are safe so far. By the looks of it this ban specifically targets hearthcrawler only, its probably detected. Never bothered to research n find for any other bots, only heard of hearthcrawler because it is capable of getting legendary rank.

Banned: No
Bot used: Only HearthBuddy (but also Demonbuddy and Honorbuddy)
How I Play: Have only had HearthBuddy for a few weeks. Use it to grind out Dailies every 2-3 days. I use it on both Casual and Ranked modes. I have two Bnet accounts and I've used Hearthbuddy on both accounts the same way.

Did anyone ever wrote to you that you are a botter and they will report you: Nope. My friends list is full and I never told anyone I got Hearthbuddy.
Will I still bot after this wave: Will probably hold off for now. Might use it on the second account.
Other: I use Demonbuddy and Honorbuddy a lot. I probably bot every hour I'm not actually playing myself. I bot Demonbuddy during the day and Honorbuddy overnight. I'm safe (as of now) on both my D3 and WoW accounts. Not sure if that affects this ban wave or not, but thought I'd mention it.
