Honorbuddy Announcement 21th May 2015

Exactly this. All CR's I've been using were havily adjusted by me and the first thing I was doing with every CR- turning off all auto CD's usage, half of spells, etc. Good adjusted PVP CR was only 30-40% automated comparing to brainless PVE variants I was also using.

 

Blizzard don't really need a reason to ban you, do they? I mean you are basicly borrowing the account from them aren't you?

 

That's correct. It's in the EULA.

 

ye, but we know nothing, we botted 18-24 hours a day for years, but we dont know shit about programming, so what do we know... zilch.

 

Finally. Getting sick of reading the crap he puts up.

 

so tony

u mute someone on this

as he is 100 % right???

but hey, its bad for business to tell the truth eh?

next time quote the whole message so we can see why u mute him.

its just business, nothing else.

 

That sucks about the TOS EULA that Blizzard can put a program on your computer and scan whatever maybe a screen logger to send back to blizzard and watch what the players are doing all the time. I still think Blizzard needs to let disabled people off the hook, because without 3rd party software I wouldn't be able to play WOW or any games for that matter... My friend is a amputee and needs this type of software to help him play games too. I thought its against the law if companies can't accommodate disabled people. I think the federal government needs to let Blizzard know that if the person shows proof that the person is disabled either from military or on SSI or SSDI then Blizzard should allow us to use the software without being banned. Now if the person is abusing the game with software like putting alot on Auction House or selling gold then Blizzard needs to take care of them. But, if the disablied is using the software to help fight monsters or to run around doing quests as long the person isn't afk then it should be ok to use the software.

 

Tony, any new info about release? After last msg about 18 hours...

 

I for one will be straight back botting leveling up my new toon lol

 

Blizzard will buy new HB accounts as soon as it comes back up, and they will use those HB accounts as research for the next few months. Then when all the 6 month banned accounts come back up and people jump back on them with the new HB, they will be permabanned because they will have had the new HB for months and know what to look for on each account. It sucks, but until the detection method is determined, it's just a waiting game for the ban. It's unfortunate, but those are the risks we take. The account I had banned in this last wave was less than two weeks old. In that two weeks I had 4 toons to level 70 and 7 more to level 50+ Whatever it was that happened, it was not because Blizzard had an extensive log on me. I wonder if they might possibly be keeping a hardware ID log of previous botters, and then flagging those hardware ID's for more extensive scrutiny once they log on.

 

Think it will be done later today?

 

So the last 5 years Blizz have not thought of this?

 

Soon-Ish

 

Hey guys, now before you start talking about my posting rate or join date, these details mean nothing, im just not an active poster, if I have something to say I will post if not I wont

now onto what I was going to say anyway

I personally have 4 botting accounts active at the moment, only ever had 1 ban and that was for economy abuse, flooded the ah with farmed herbs

I do not farm since this ban which was a few years ago

I do quest/dungeon bot to lvl chars

I do pvp bot in bgs

I do bot the garrison

I do not sell on ah

I do vendor everything I do not need to earn gold

never play during standard working hours for my country

I bot on average 8hrs a day (randomized log ins and outs) login to every char on each account manually throught my login session

all 4 characters play together on same machine and have done so for years (dynamic ip from isp)

I do not leave battle.net app open always set to close before wow.exe is opened

always played wow in 32bit even manually

always played wow with ctm active even manually

always played wow in windowed mode even manually

always played wow on lowest gfx settings, even manually

and always have a monitor plugin active to catch whispers etc and allow response

none of my 4 accounts have been banned/ suspended

I always run honorbuddy first without wow to check for an honorbuddy update, never update with wow running

I hope this info is helpful to the buddy team to help pin point where how and if we were actually detected

regards

your friendly neighborhood botterman

 

Also botted on my main account of 7+ years. For leveling/dailies/LFR/dungeons/casual gathering and lazy raider... and i've never been banned. I just made sure to never leave the bot and go afk for more than ~3 hours. I'm usually at my PC anyway just tabbed out. Some people spend 48hrs farming herbs then complain that they were banned after a few days of using the bot. Though admittedly i have been away from WoW for the last 2-3 months, so no idea if that helped to evade the banwave. Also a pro tip, if you have a decent smartphone you can download teamviewer and access your PC from anywhere with remote access, you can stop/start your bot on the fly and it's useful for making sure your bot isn't stuck if you go out for a few hours.

 

Google is your friend.

 

sharpmessenger is also very good, teamviewer works similar to rdp in windows and once u have logged into it its kinda noticeable because wow becomes a background process and not foreground and even if you bring it into foreground while accessing via teamviewer or rdp when you log out wow becomes a background process once again, where as sharpmessenger is more like a chat plugin with command functions allowing logout, bg start and stops, botbase selection, stuck indicators, bot status updates, without affecting wow running in foreground, and because there are no visual elements involved does not affect your fps on the wow client, because of this plugin I am able to bot afk and still chat to all of my guild and friends and keep bot suspicions down also keeping my logouts and pc shutdown commands accessible via google talk from anywhere in the world, so in combination they might be very useful, using teamviewer to run arelog or something which will put wow in foreground when launched but also logging in honorbuddy, allowing access to sharpmessenger and its list of commands

worth a look
