Not banned yet: Precautions you can take.

I haven't been banned yet but only realized what was going on when the tripwire popped up like it did for most people, here are a few precautions I've taken to limit the damage if i do get banned. If you're like me and haven't received a ban yet, it might be worth doing the same thing or similar.


1. Put all items and gold into your guild bank on all characters, during the last ban, anything in the guild banks stayed but all items and gold on the characters were wiped. Hopefully i've just saved myself 1.5million gold this time.

2. Put all personal items in personal bank, for anything you can't save in your guild bank, put it in your personal bank or you'll lose that too.

3. Transfer your main. I've just moved my main and an alt to 2 separate accounts that have been inactive for a year and not been used for botting before. I'm still waiting for the process of the transfer to complete but this could save my mythic characters and yours too.

4. Cross your fingers and hope for the best, we all deserved this and we should of all expected it at some point like always, maybe not so soon after recently recovering from the last ban wave but maybe it's a lesson to others like me that rely on the CR routines this bot provides for main character/account raiding just because it's easier.

EDIT 16/12/15 21:04 GMT+00:00

Sadly in the end the ban wave caught up with me before i could outrun it with my main raiding character and raiding alt. They appear to still be pending on the character transfer screen of my account but I don't have much hope that this will be completed now that the account is banned and i forgot to update the home address of my card on the account too. The silver lining is that i just checked my guild bank on another account and that again, has been untouched. I guess i'll be buying a mythic HFC clear to get back into the game again quickly.

I hope others have better luck and I have seen a couple that did manage to move their main in time so well done!

EDIT 16/12/15 21:33 GMT+00:00

Just to update everyone, i said earlier in this thread that the ban did catch up with me before the transfers were completed and they were stuck on pending... Further to this, 1 hour later i have both characters transferred and have therefore managed to escape the ban wave with 2/6 lvl 100s safe, my 2 mains and 1.5million gold still in the guild bank!

I hope this thread helped some others out in someway. I'm so freaking happy right now, feels like i beat blizzard for once. Relieved.

EDIT 17/12/15 05:45 GMT+00:00

Last and final update... I just had a whisper from the GM while i was playing on my transferred character telling me that the character was moved from a locked account and that a refund will be issued and the character moved back to the banned account. I assume this is because so many people did the same as I and it then showed up on their radar, my account wasn't banned at the time of the purchase but I guess I've been swept up with those that have managed to transfer their banned characters.

The GM wouldn't give me much chance to speak before kicking me out of the game so I will argue against this tomorrow in Live chat.




Good luck everyone.

 

for 3.:
Do you think this works on a char that was just banned (the acc is actually banned) to another bnet acc? Or does it have to be unbanned for it to "work"?

What can you do?
*Don't make new threads regarding the Tripwire event.
*Don't spread false information, and don't speculate on things you can't possibly know.
*Please be patient—these things take time.

 

We havent been banned.And we wont be banned trust me!Everything that could happen ,happened already..now we have to wait for HB to came back

 

Dude, bans are literally still happening. As of seconds ago people are getting kicked out of wow with a banned notice.

 

That could be the case but It's good to take precautions at this point if you are one of those people like me that has taken this risk on their main account. I'm personally considering not botting on the main character i've moved ever again but will with the other accounts.

 

its BG event .. so blizzard gona foucs so hard on pvp boters .

 

i have not bg botted... i think honorbuddy IS detectable...

 

Lol @ ppl saying they avoided the bans...they are happening every minute still. Your all getting hit so just accept it and find a new game lol

 

Thanks eStaKooZa, I'm following all of these that you've stated, this is not a thread regarding the Tripwire event. This is a thread in regards to giving some crucial helpful advice from an experienced botter to those that may not know what they can do right now, even if it may seem obvious to some others that are experienced. None of this information can be accused of being false, neither am I speculating on anything I can't possibly know. Lastly, I am being patient.

I hope you get your hall monitor badge soon.

 

You can't transfer characters from a banned account, even if it did let you for some reason, it's likely to fail and you may or may not still be charaged.

 

ain't looking for that to be honest...
im just giving hand as im not playing/botting atm ... lol

you don't know how admins work really hard, been there done that on old forums, it was hilarious...

as for hb team, you know they are not only forum mods, they are devs / programmers. and they really need some space working on issues...

i agree my post was quick without being related to the topic, and i do apologize for that.

 

Well you can transfer the characters from an account not banned yet. I saved my main as I moved it to a different account. My 2nd account was banned about 1 minute ago so prolly my main will get banned too very soon. My 3rd account that is quite fresh and not botted on yet now has my main character on it.

 

lost two accounts today banned looks like its the pvp again better look at that

 

Stop. Just stop.

 

we got banwave and we all gona get ban

 

my suicide account got banned, my main account still up and runing, Im just sitting in Orgrimar waiting for it.... I hope for the best.

 

my bro just got a 182 day ban

 

If i get banned im done with boting.

 

nah i got banned on 1 out of 4 account none of them ever pvp'ed neither manual or bot
Weird thing is that minutes before i got banned i received an invite on both 2 account that were botting at the time by a guy named blizzardo.Both my chars where in party to change servers so i instantly declined the invitation but still weird how did this dude could see both my chars that were in different servers....
