Not sure where to go from here.

Apologize for the wall of text, don't read it if you don't want to, also I'm not actually new here, just forgot my forum information so I created this account to be able to post this.


I have been using Honorbuddy for 5 years now. It was great and I went years without being banned, then back in January of last year I decided to start suicide botting Tol'vir with 5 accounts. It was great at the time, it was pre-nerf to cata dungeons so you were able to get up to 3000-3500 GPH there if you saved the embersilk to make bags. I did that for a month straight with no problems. I was able to make 7 million gold that month. I then purchased a magic rooster off the AH for my friend with the gold I had made, I traded him the mount and later that day my account was banned. I went to live chat and they told me it was an automated ban from the security system for "Trafficking duped goods" I guess the mount was duped and by trading it to my friends it set off something. They unbanned my account and apologized for the mistake, but before he closed the live chat he looked further into my account and found all the gold capped guild banks, and chars that had 5000+ kills in Tol'vir. He told me He's sorry but he is going to reapply the ban onto this account and it won't be reopened under any circumstances. I purchased a new account and started botting again, different methods this time. (Farming Pandaria zones, Transmog, Rare pets, etc) The account was closed within 12 hours, along with every other account that had ever logged in from my computer, even starter edition accounts I had never upgraded or had been logged into in MONTHS were banned. I was really confused cause I had never experienced this after 5 years of botting. I was trying to understand how this could be possible, was I just unlucky? I went and made another brand new account, that one was also closed within hours. I knew now it wasn't a coincidence. I did research and read that Blizzard might "blacklist" or "fingerprint" computers from serious, long time botters. I didn't consider myself a serious botter. I never sold gold for real money, nothing like that. I was a casual botter up until I botted tol vir, and even then I only used 5 accounts. I changed my IP address. MAC Address. HDD ID, Reformatted my PC. and purchased another few accounts. Again the accounts couldn't even make it a few days. I was fed up and decided to take a break from botting and wow all together so I stopped playing for about 6 months. Now its December and I wanted to get back into the game and into the botting community, I missed it. I wanted to take all precautions before going into this again. I spoke with some very well known developers in this community and some very experienced and successful botters that have been doing it as a full time job for years. I told them my story and asked for any help they could give me. I went out and purchased a brand new network card for $40 because they could possibly trace me from my Network Serial number. I reformatted my HDD again and used a different user name when installing windows. On top of that I changed my IP Address, Purchased the game keys from G2A so they couldn't track my payment method. I created my battle.net accounts under a fake name/address. I couldn't think of anything more I could do. I started up 3 bots after the tripwire event was lifted. I created a guild to use to deposit the gold into that my bots made, also invited all my friends into the guild so we could use it as a raiding guild or just a guild to hangout in general, there were also a few other random people in it. Everything was going smooth then about an hour ago (2 AM EST) all of my accounts were disconnected and banned, even an account I had just upgraded an hour ago and never even had the chance to log into the game yet. Every single person in my guild also had their accounts permanently banned, and none of my friends even bot, nor did they even take a single gold out of the guild bank. I feel really bad for them and hope they are able to get their accounts back. They were in the middle of a raid and all were banned at the same time. I just uninstalled wow and honorbuddy because I'm frustrated and don't see a way I will ever be able to bot again. Unless I buy a brand new computer and change my ISP or something. But I don't have money for that, Anyway wondering if any of you have experienced this and what you did that I haven't done, Would be interested to see your responses, or any ideas you have for me. Thanks.


I can also put a copy of this in the ban section if needed.

Can bliz see how many wow clients per PC or per Harddrive ?
Will VPN's Help ?
This ban was was ROUGH

 

Outside.

Seek the vajayjay. If that's not an option due to genetics, wait for pantheon. It's going to be amazing. A throwback to real mmorpgs. Assuming wow hasn't softened you up real nice with its faux mmo over the years while instead of returning to form developers tried to emulate and flooded the market with so many fake mmorpgs that th current generation doesn't even know what one is.

 

One thing I can tell you is that you will almost certainly get PMs from people offering referrals to a certain Unban Service. They circle the ban section like, well, vultures.
Don't. Give. Them. Money. There is nothing he can do about the 6/18 month banwave and it's really messed up that he's taking orders.

 

For someone to say they have been part of our community for years and to not know his own account seems a bit far fetched. And this story seems more like a Blizzard scare tactic than anything else as no one that I know that bots has had any issues like this. I for one think this is someone from the wow community or even a Blizz employee throwing a story on our boards to try and intimidate people. I have been using HB on about 10 accounts since 2010, rotate them 3 at a time and was never banned until the last ban wave. Since then I have started up 5 more accounts and us HB with them, I can care less what Blizz does with them as I will continue to screw with "the so called economy" because it is a hobby for me.

Now if this story is true, then I am sorry because your case is one in a million.
