Previously around 6 months untouched on some of my farming accounts, absolutely no reports, no problems, I have a near flawless setup that I have built which has served me incredibly well, 3 of the 4 that got 72h have been going since march 2012, only the last 2 weeks out of the blue have they been getting hit.


Was levelling 2 accounts to replace the ones that have been banned, they both got hit around level 42, took breaks and did everything by the book, I watched the accounts like a hawk. Got the usual DC and ban, had been running for a matter of days. 8 hours a day, previously levelled around 20 accounts early this year this way and never even got one suspension or report.


I would like to note I caught one of my farmers getting teleported to the hut that everyone has been going on about before getting banned/suspended, definitely not a hoax.


Also, as a veteran who has been here since GB1, I'm going to put my neck on the line and say something is up, I don't give a shit what people think I've been here long enough to know the deal about thing's and something has changed, I am putting my botting project on hold until it stops.. if it ever does.




Not worth it.

 

wow this is truly a horrible thing to read... I'm truly sorry for your loss

I was kicked off my account and banned 10 minutes ago as well, so I'm still waiting for the email from blizzard

 

Would also like to point out every single account was put on a seperate VM and was not in any way linked to my other accounts farming/levelling.

I put a hell of a lot of time into this setup and thought I had been able to dodge the ban hammer very well, up until the last 2 weeks I was confident that was the case, but now I am literally getting one ban a day thus I have shut off every single account as it's pointless.

 

This is not banwave since they ban bot as soon is possible, approx 4-6 hours he can farm then ban/warn is coming, i saw alot of banweaves but this is something completly different and doesnt make any logic for blizzard to shut down boting, but obviosly then can give away there income from us.

 

Of course it isn't a banwave, this forum wouldn't even load.

Something has changed though.

 

maybe they are just trying to clean up all the botting before 5.2 hits, i would say go fucking hard when 5.2 comes out and see what happens.
