Everything I did was manual, where I went, what I interacted with. The only automation I use is for the routine. I don't PvP ever, so no BG's or Arena's. I just started the account about a week and a half ago. Using Enyo with TuanHA CR I leveled a Paladin from 1 -61 and a DK from 55 to 100. I wasn't even geared enough to do dungeons yet, so most of my play time was used to complete quests manually (aside from the automated routine.) I played for a little over an hour yesterday after the patch dropped. Suspension happened while I was offline. Got the email around 2:18 EST today. Using the CR-only method of botting I've managed to avoid suspensions for years. That ended today approximately an hour ago. I am starting to think my previous ban avoidance had more to do with good luck and timing that any other consideration. I missed both of the last true ban waves by being inactive during them. My supposition is that it is inefficient for Blizzard to constantly scan for certain flags in the absence of player reports so they most likely adhere to some sort of internal schedule which involves parsing a certain time-frame worth of data. I made the mistake of being active this time, so there was something for them to find. I am the poster child for "Cautious Botter." No movement, no gathering, no fishing, no archaeology, no pvp, plugins to a minimum. In short, nothing for anyone to player report me for to put my account under a microscope. In light of this suspension I am inclined to suspect that Blizz can detect pretty much at will. That is my suspicion at any rate. I'm as likely wrong as I am right. That being said, Bot safe, stay lucky!

I should also mention that I always make sure Bnet app is killed before I start HB. I have it set to automatically close each time wow starts, and I don't start HB until it's closed. Not sure that's worth anything but I thought I'd mention it.
