I would like to make post some of the observations I made in the past few days. Before the reports of a new ban wave were surfacing it looked like gathering profiles were getting people banned left and right. I would like to mention I tried one gathering profile to get fur and farm savage bloods and things like that in draenor. I got about 3 minutes in before I noticed that my bot had a ram targeted and that ram would be on a hill and then would suddenly jump or be moved, presumably by some gm, causing my character to do a complete 180. It looked very bottish so I turned that off right of way and haven't gone back to gather anything unless its done by me. My questing was alright I think I was able to avoid player reports this go around but in the end none of that matters if the software you use is discovered. Better luck next time everyone and something to keep in mind is HB may have tripwire to watch blizzard but blizzard must have found a way to watch the watchers lol. As always do not bot on accounts you really care about. Some final things I noticed that were weird happened a few times where the game would show the circular download icon and that I was downloading something even though my client was up to date and had no reason to be downloading files. May be one of the ways they were detecting the bots so its something that should be looked into.
