Important - You cant bot RIGHT NOW (Banchance is 50-75%)

One thing we all know for sure is that there is a huge amount of bans going out right now. Some might call it a wave and others might just call it more than usual. I know one thing for sure is that something is up and I'm not willing to test my luck with anymore accounts until this blows over. We know Kicks, GB2 and BG Bot are heavy targets at the moment and thats a fact. Its your choice to run or not and we all know at anytime an account can be tossed out the window and HB has never denied that. This is a forum and is intended to inform people about the good and the bad. If you don't like someones opinion you don't have to read any further. All in all we would like some feedback from the professionals here at HB as to what they think. Is that too much to ask?

 

I'm going to stop botting for abit for sure, I dont want everyone to stop though then we wont know if anyone else is getting banned

 

I am sorry I hear alot of QQ QQQ QQQQQQQQQQQQQ in this thread.

IMO there are several things that legitly make it super easy to get banned now and in no way are the Dev's fault.

!. Bliz made it super easy to report people now for cheating. They just right click a persons name , report / cheating. 3 reports auto ban by warden and you have to let a GM review your Account.
2. THE AVG PVP ER KNOWS ABOUT BOTS NOW.... They seem to hate them very much ... if you bg you get banned because they hate what your doing and most bots start path is the exact same... Also ... Bots are bots ... They do dumb things no human would do and at the same time ... they play alittle too good and snipe kills.

3. Problem with Kicks IMO is like stated .. it flat gets stuck on some things... I have used it many many times and i know what zone to watch out for ... but yea... it's super easy to just see a person running into said log over and over ... or look at the pile of bones to know ... hey your botting. Also .. when using kicks on a high pop server . I always see others using it too.

4. with GB. when ppl say bot smart. I feel they mainly mean a few things... 1 don't ninja node. use random hot spot and bounce fly pat. I feel just setting thoes few things eliminates so much head ache.

5... there is no ban wave just flagged accounts getting taken down or you getting reported. I lost multi accounts but im lv 90 again ... go fig.

 

BIG UP +1 ^^^^^ FOR aliveftw this is what everyone is thinking and is sure about but the "Top Dog's" claim You are botting incorrectly here let me show you =D derp

Deny all you want this guy speaks the truth.

 

keep in mind that HB is a BUISNESS for the mods and devs here, when they say "HB is as safe as usual" they do it just beacause they dont want to people to be afraid and buy their bots. You will never see McDonalds yell that they put shit in their burger even if they know they have done it.

There is obviously a problem of detection with the bot (or the environement), I juste hope the devs/mods dont lie to themselves and are well aware of the problem and solve it fast.

And yeah ... when some people come here and says "I bot 12h/day never had a problem you dont know how to bot" just dont listen to them, welcome to the internet world of liers

 

Crazy that your not scared at all. How long do you bot per day?

And are we talking about MOP bots? Im pretty sure we are not.

Maybe its lowlvl toons that are on the way to 80 or something.


If you run mop 12x gb2 bots then you are my hero. But since i know you dont (otherwise you`d be banned by now) well... your post says nothing.

 

all this clean up is actually happening in EU not US, if hes botting on US we actually dont care for the moment.

if hes running 12 gb2 on EU right now i would be amazed even if i would put my balls to cut its a lie.

 

#1 I ll call you whatever i want. (But lets stay mature here) Im 23 so dont worry im not an angry kid. I know what i am talking about.
#2 8-10h GB2 mop?
#3 Obv i didnt calculate those % but the % chance is about right. For me it was 0 bans in the past 3-4 months. (So 0% for me, but others got banned from time to time --> 5%)
The 50%-75% is that obv 25% are that blizz cant ban everyone.
But imagine i start 20 bots right now in Mop with GB2. Do you think more than 13 will survive after 3-4 days? No right? So therefore you have 50% --> up to 100%

#4 I was botting 10 years ago already in Lineage2. And back then i already botted more than 10 accounts. I know what im talking about.

#5 You have 1 bot and your trying to teach ppl how to bot stfu please. get off of this thread pls. People like you are the ones talking bot smart. Thats exactly what i stated in my first post. People are running serious business with HB, and now they cant anymore and you are trying to teach us? Really? (Im not saying anything against people who just bot with 1, but dont try to teach people who run 20 Clients on different PC?s with different profiles with coding experience with botting experience and banning experience

#6 Guess what. People like me open their mouth for the Community cause i use my experience to tell the people that something is wrong with HB or Blizz or whatever. You make us all laugh with your 1 bot trying to tell us how to run our business.

#7 I only got 3 Accounts banned cause i knew when to stop botting. (I am experienced so i knew when to shutdown and wait obv, but others who are not as experienced as i am dont know and this is where i come in and tell others to stop their bots if they want to keep their accounts. People like you who have NO IDEA and spread wrong informations get those innocent players banned

Dont come up with "botting is not safe, any program is not safe etc" we know that. I know that, and as i said i have alot more botting experience like you. I know what i am doing, dont try to teach me. I have at least 10x the experience you do. So please...

And please dont post anymore with your 1 Account informations you have no idea. If you want keep your bot running. I wont risk losing even 1 of all my accounts until we have a statement from HB.

Cheers

 

So instead of having a sideincome without any stress, you would rather like to not have money.
Nice story you made up there liar... and if you didnt lie you failed cuz u didnt know how to manage all accounts and make the most gold out of them.

 

So all of the people who bot for 2-3 hours and get banned bot different than you. O.K.

Maybe your just lucky and im happy for you. But its just a matter of time until you get hit. If you dont care about the risk then go ahead and wait for ur ban.

 

I wasn't going to reply to you but.. whatever. Your 23.. yeah so to me your a kid because I'm 36. First and foremost, you show me ANYWHERE on this site.. ANY document that says HB was designed and developed for people to make side income. Please.. show me and I'll keep my mouth shut. Yes.. being able to make gold in huge amounts is a BENEFIT of HB. But they sure as shit are not supporting or developing HonorBuddy for gold farmers. You want to use it for that reason, that's your right. But don't sit there and claim to know a damn thing when your running multiple bots and then complaining when you get banned. It's GOING to happen.

And no.. I do not use GB2 right now. You want to know why? Because people are complaining that they get banned using it. So guess what? I'm being a SMART BOTTER and not using it right now. Get it? THAT is what being SMART about it is. But apparently that is going WAY over your level of comprehension. OBVIOUSLY right now Blizzard is watching nodes per hour or something along those lines. Common friggin sense....

I have a programming job that pays very well. I don't need to sell gold to make a few bucks. If others want to, great. More power to you. And yes, at one point I did have 15 bots running. Because I did want to farm gold to sell. But in the end, for me, it was too much a pain in the ass. HB really needs to be monitored. It's not 100% AFK'able. I will totally agree that if you just click start and walk away, SOMETHING is going to break. And in the sense of farming gold, you pretty much need to do it afk. So in a sense, yeah.. I will agree that it doesn't work well right now. But to say that your GOING to get banned for it.. I don't agree with that.. Sorry...

For the people who are saying "oh I only botted for 3 hours and got banned". Answer me honestly.. have you EVER botted before on that account? Did you get any whispers or unusual things happen? Perhaps you just got really unlucky.

In the end, everyone believe what they want. I'm not going to use the word "safe" because its not. Never has been never will be. Botting is always a risk. That's the nature of the game.

And with that, I'm going back to botting.

 

You did not understand my post, obviously. Re-read the first few scentences. My bots are not the point I was trying to make.

Again its not about my bots but my first few scentences. And do not call me a liar, there is no reason for that as I have othing to gain from it, why would I?

 

He might get banned, and the risk probably is higher right now, but that doesn't mean the software is actually detected by warden, lol.
Blizz just seems to be more aggressive at the moment. So yes, the risk is higher then before and I'd sure lay low if I were you.

But one more time: This does NOT mean the software is detected.

It's two different things.

 

And THAT is entirely the point I was trying to make.

Is using GB2 safe right now? NO! Obviously it is not because people are getting nailed using it. Does that mean it is DETECTED and your going to instantly get banned? NO!!! Obviously Blizzard is watching things with farming, nodes per hour, auctions, etc. So be SAFE. I don't know why certain people can't comprehend what the word "safe" means....

But.. some people just want to believe that its all HB's fault. That the HB devs can just change something and suddenly Blizzard won't notice.... ::

 

Well this is what I pointed out on page 4, but everyone seems to be too obsessed with their opinions about the dev team. lol

 

Heh so your saying the software is not detectable but they way it works is ... let me put it in this way ... look that stealth plane is not detectable by radar but the freaking smoke it leave behind is seen miles away ... its not detectable at all hehe

 

That is exactly what I'm saying.
It's probably more dangerous to bot right now, otherwise there wouldn't be an increase in bans. So if you don't want to risk it, then stop doing it now.
But some people keep going about it like it must be because of software detection, which is b.s.
The only ones to blame is the community itself, being greedy and careless for extended periods of time, and so obvious and bold that the entire wow community got upset about it and forcing blizzard to act.
Tbh if 2 months ago you were questing somewhere at 3 AM in the night it would be full of GB2 users and the AH is flooded with AH botters. lol come on.
Now everyone cries because blizz is acting aggressively.

Ever read the wow forums? I barely do, and when I do because I need to wait for a bit for whatever reasons at work then all I see is complaints about botters.
Guess who/what caused that?

Exactly.

So yeah, I highly doubt the bot is detectable, but rather certain patterns that is probably recognized by some server side software at blizzard. They're not stupid, if I were to investigate as a blizz staff member then I'd get a copy of the bot and study its behaviours, then write software to recognize people doing those behaviours, then flag the account for review by a GM.
Or even auto ban.

 

Well soon they will cry for 3x higher prices on AH

 

Please tell me you're runing 12 acc with GB2 on EU servers right now and the past few days, you said that in your previous post (even if ur not saying you're using GB2 but seems "obvious" since you bot for "months") now confirm this so I can laugh my ass.

Now just stop pretend people are retards and stop make them believe they can bot like they do the past months, we are supposed to help each other not throw each other on blizz' wallet
Seriously those people ...

 

Read all posts please thanks. I already said i stopped 1,5 weeks ago. And i only got 3 bots banned.

50-75% who use GB2 are getting banned yes. Go ahead and try it out and prove me wrong. Mop GB2 for 4-8h for 4 days as u said.
