You macroed for 7-8 hrs per day in a questing location? In one block of time? Or spread out over the day?
Ive been banned doing the exact same thing. Profiles like that just keep you grinding in one area and has a large ban risk. They haven't detected Honorbuddy its just people not using it carefully or having bad luck. Sorry for your loss.
Oh, I thought 'low quest area' meant quest area, it means not many? [edit]Orsis is a questing hub, theres half a dozen or so in that area.
If its that 1 spot in uldum, I'm not shocked... the bots there are 100% obvious. I wont ever report another botter... I MIGHT /follow till they auto-log though
Yeah I am not surprised since you were using that profile. Lots of people come around, and it does things that look "bottish." I run it every once and a while, and I know others do the same on my server because I always see the same people around. Lots of people coming for quests too.
I believe they have it is more than just me that has been caught. Many people over the past say 4 days now have been reporting the same thing. And everyone is all in different areas and places. It is NOT the fact that a person was grinding in one area at all. Please keep out of this thread of you don't know what you are talking about and stop polluting this thread.
Go away kid you don't know what you are talking about where I was is NOT a questing area. Keep these kids out of this thread you obviously don't know what the hell you are talking about. I think people like this just post garbage like this to get their post count up. Keep out of this thread kid! Again where I was is NOT a questing area.
Funny how you tell anyone who knows something about WoW to go away... Good luck over turning that after the 72 hr ban and investigation!
Those guys you keep running past stuck in the ground, waving their arms. Quest. The big statues in the ground you'll see people using and they pop out and fight. Quest. Couple of collect X, kill Y quests. Not to mention even in the thread for the profile you're using people talk about how its basically the most popular and obvious botting spot around these days. But you know, keep it up, gl with the next ban. Be sure not to learn from your mistakes.
Use the volatile air farming profiles at your own risk. I've used it once or twice. Will not ever use it to automate my farming because of the obvious hotspots. I mean who walks in angles when you see the mob ? Honorbuddy should complement pull-rang with something like approach-range since i think HB can "see" 100 yards Approach Range = 70 Pull-range = 30
