many characters gathered together a location of Highmountain 3 second before I got banned

I just got back and see the screen ,because I was botting world quests， I saw 15 at least players characters including mine stood a place,without moving ,of Highmountain. 3 seconds later,i got banned permanently .
I am so confused why my character stood there,why so many others stood there too

 

Could be automated/scripted event from Blizzard for one last botters doublecheck.
Several people on Discord witnessed similar laggy/weird behavior in different zones.

 

Yep , huge lag spikes here to yesterday. And that was also the case before other banwaves last year.

 

If this is indeed real - that means one - its not pure detection banwave, but flagging large pool of accounts with different criteria. I could safely suppose those accounts, disconnected from the TW events were shamelessly flagged & hit too.

 

I confirm, my main account did not turn that night, just the bot account

 

Well last night for me, I received a shit ton of disconnects and finally said hell with it. This is with and without the bot opened. So take that as you will. Still could have been a crap connection, but my ‘net is usually rock solid.

 

Several people have reported weird bot movement be4 the ban
