No 11)Was your account involved in gold selling? No 12)EU or US realm? EU Ok so i had 2x 5man bots running, 1 bank account and 1 sell account. From those 10 dungeon accounts 8 got banned, 2 survived which will go to garbage now anyway. Bank account got banned as well but i have still access to my gold through my sell account. I didnt stockpile much so its not a bad loss especially since i can still access my gold. I wonder somehow why these 2 accounts survived, maybe i got banned bec i was stupid enough to post like 20x200 clothes yesterday - i knew the risk but i didnt care. 5 Accounts ran 2 month now, the other 5 + bank almost 1 month. So out of my 17 accounts - 8 dungeon acc got banned, 1 bank got banned. 2 Dungeons survived, 1 sell account survived. All on one PC, one VPN IP, no VM or anything. The other 5 accounts which are still running are quite new and are not related to my PC in any way cuz they run on a Server in France (i live in germany).
Realm EU. My account has just got banned (14th of December 2014, 20:15 server time). I used Honorbuddy v2.5.12260.760 only, no other bots. It happened 2 hours ago when I was sitting at computer. During ban I used Questing Bot to level up 90-100 (Kick's 1-100 Mega Profile Pack). +/- 1 hour before I was leveling, I used "[Azyul] Optimized Gold Farming" because I farmed alone one of dungeons. Except of mentioned: I also use AutoAngler2, TuanHA full-paid-pack and Gladiator Suite (half of their combat routines). I do not grind, farm or gather anywhere in public because I know that is straight way to ban. I use afk-botting like 3-5 hours per day but not everyone day. I set max 1 auction in AH per day because usually I have nothing to sell there. I did not sell gold any single time. No hacks, no mods. Not even afk-BGs! Account was used only by me for last 5 years.
You can stick your sarcasm in it butt . I didn't complain did I. And don't tell me that YOU know anything ant how they ban and what looks more human or whatever. I felt better with 16 instead of 24 hours and that's all I need. Kay??

Love posts like this. Im sure you make a whopping $10 a day with your "safe" botting. I bot 24/7. Always have and always will. Been banned hundreds of times. People understand the game of cat and mouse. Its about picking yourself back up after a ban and starting over. Notice the OP was not complaining. It was a ban report.
I felt like i had to rage now but nevermind it.I wont get into detail abt my income which was way higher than 10 bucks a day... i made over 2k so i am fine thanks but no need to discuss this any further. And YES, it is the BAN Forum and all i did was filling out a BAN FORM and explain. So why the fuck do ppl feel to open a discussion here abt bot behaviors? If you want to bot 24/7, do it. I do not.
So I suppose you were banned for Abuse of Economy auto-ban. Thats why you still have your gold, no GM have manually investigated you. And thats the odds when you have all your botting farm on single machine w/o VMs at least for your trade or farm accounts. Anyway, the 3 which dodged the ban, were probably 2x healers and the sell mule, which generally have no bad flags, since not played at all, and if you are already selling gold properly.
the fact is HB is falgged by blizzard since many years, boting with Hb get you banned really fast nothing is safe, questing, gathering, dungeon, etc.... i always had bad experience when i came back and tried HB 2-3 times in 3 years. with other bots i can quest 24/24h without any ban never, i'm actually plying my main acc with one other bot, i don't disconneced my account since 2 month 24/24h botting, i lvled my main with questing H24 1-100, made some grind sometimes 6+h in a row, gathered sometimes 6h+ in a row too. Now that i'm lvl100 i use 99% of the time only rotation bot for dailies, dungeon, etc... ah and yes i use the BG bot H24 during my lvling progress 1-100. Now i powerlevel all my pet to 1-25 with the petbot, i used the petbot during 3 days non stop 24/24h without babysitting it, without any problem or ban. So now the trues story and why i said Hb is falgged by blizzard and all you can said to said no it's wrong. i came back to HB 1 years ago, i bought the bot and stated to bot on a new account, only with questing (never gather or Bg or anything else) and babysitting bot H24. i was banned for 72h after approx 1 week I stoped to use HB and make a big pause of wow, and back 6 months later and tried again with only questing, banned again after 1 week That's why i totally stoped to use HB it's flagged and blizzard know you re using it. to all ppl who will said : no Hb is not flagged by blizzard i botting since many years with it, don't worry you re just lucky as ban is random, they just focus on some particular player atm. but ban will come trust me. when i saw all progress and good addons, paid profiles etc, 2 week ago i was thinking to tried Hb again, but i stoped and changed my mind, coz i know i will lose my acc really fast. you don't want to lose your acc dont use Hb, or use it but prepare yourself to get banned really fast. i'm not here to make pub for others bot, i dont name it. But to warm you with my experience. 1 week questing 2 times with HB (6 months interval between the 2 try) = banned 72h 2 month using the other bot 24/24h not a single ban or whispe from gm or player report.
I love how this guy is mr know it all and has such a tiny sample size but from his sample size he knows EVERYTHING. Ive been using this bot since pirox went down. leveled hundreds of max level toons. I have only been banned TWICE before hitting 90. The 1 time I did get the ban hammer was my own fault. Im not here to defend HB and to be quite honest if there was another bot that didnt tuck tail and run as soon as blizzard said boo to them Id probably make the change. You have fun with that other bot while it lasts. No botting company has the money or the balls to take blizzard to court and fight them like HB does. Your bot will probably last another 6 months tops. Enjoy!
