Thank you pvp botters

Sure, my title should have been "AFK BG botters I blame you" ive stated plenty of times in this thread is the afk that's the issue..

in regards to dungeons.. Sure there was a few QQ's in General regarding them.. but nothing compared to the complaints about bg bots...

BG bots put way to much heat on HB

 

I agree with you on one point they should get rid of BGbuddy

 

I agree with OP.

However the problem with removing a portion of honorbuddy is just that others will replace it.

 

Thats true

 

You're welcome.

 

Yes i agree but the ones that were using BG bots, they got banned for Afking in BGs, as for the ones who used CRs in Bgs was not the problem

 

Serious dude what are you talking about , BG buddy is pre-programmed behavior . the only profile it loads is the map , and also a combat routine !
The way you point it out makes me believe you dont know anything about it , "You not believing that there's better than the trash profiles you all use out there only makes it easier for me" !

 

Will always find a way to use HB in arenas, cant stop wont stop. Good day!

 

reopened

 

double post.

 

Great thank you.

 

Bottom line is too,

You don't want to get banned? don't bot.

I agree botting like that was irresponsible usage of BGbuddy...afk botting into the early hours of the morning is stupid and you shouldn't do it. People became to cocky and believed they were untouchable.

That has to change, however I don't agree bg's need to be removed because I play a lot during the day and i've not seen many bots if any (and of course a botter is great at spotting other bots). If you go on early morning though probably a different story. I run a bot in ashran and it does a great job without problems.

Either bg buddy has to be improved or removed and make people pay for an addon to do pvp. I use a paid addon and it does the job fine so I definitely don't want battlegrounds removed because i've had no issues.

 

It's great that the thread has been reopened; however, honor farming is one of the original purposes of the bot. They are not going to to remove Battleground support. Even if they did remove Battleground support, other bots would continue to support Battlegrounds and people would continue to assume it was Honorbuddy because of it having become a household name in automation.

If someone wants to make a suggestion that's constructive, I'd suggest removing the bit of programming that causes BGBuddy to run to the nearest group. That is the simple most botty behavior. Besides, everyone knows that 90% of players run off by themselves to 1v1 people in the roads. Make the bot do that instead.

 

I am completely agree with the OP. I said the same thing in another post and a moderator responded saying that we don't know the real reason and I should stop blaming: https://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/216603-happen-pvp-crs-2.html

I think people stop thinking that affecting competitive play is okay and it is the the same as boting PvE environment. I think disabling Arena just proved that point and the bot should be disabled for BGs as well, at least for regular BGs if not for RBGs.

Again, I have been botting since 2000. I never botted in PvP and I actually quite PvP in WoD due to extensive use of bots by others. I used to play in 2.4k+ RBGs and 2.2k+ areanas. At that level believe me it is so frustrating if your 0.4 cast and fake cats get interrupted automatically. There is basically no point to push for rating unless you are using the same interrupt bots or a certain class such as DKs, Warriors or Mages which the bot performs much better compared to other classes.

 

Bgs are casual play not competitive like arenas. Because they are both pvp doesn't mean they are equal.

 

But with a name like Honorbuddy, it should have been obvious that it wasn't exactly for arenas (considering you get honor points from non-arena PvP)...

 

Um, Hawker the main Dev, has already stated BG AFK botting is under review-

There is a huge possibly of bgbuddy being removed.

 

We'll see. Hawker works for Bossland. And logically, a ban on AFK PVP isn't in the company's best interest. It alienates a large majority of the customer base and doesn't serve to minimize exposure of automation, in general.

The benefits don't outweigh the risks of blocking AFK BG play.

The enforcement of non-support on Arena made sense. The legitimate Arena community is vicious and influential with Blizzard. That was exposure we didn't want. Who cares about a bunch of peon casuals in battlegrounds?

 

These are all your opinions, I belive removal of all PVP aspects of this bot is in the best interests of this bot

 

Its not just the people using the Pvp Buddy, it also stems from people not making their own pathing for ore/herb farming. A few weeks before the banwave I saw 15 people FOLLOWING each other in the same path in Nagrand using the same pathing for Herb/Ore farming. People like that get the rest of us in a pickle because they got lazy. I make my own pathings. Cause I don't trust using someone elses cause how many others are using the same one? I don't even post mine in fear that someday someone would be right behind my Herb/Miner. Its doing things so repetitive that its noticeable. Doing the same bot everyday for 10+ hours is the reason you are banned. And the reason you got so many others banned.

I have got a lot of friends using Honorbuddy, and I told them from the get go. Don't do the same thing for very long, cause how often does your char actually do that for? Have you ever manually Herb/Ore farmed for 10+ hours in a day? For the entire week everyday? Than why would you let the bot do that? Some people just get blindsided thinking they could get away with just letting it go all out. And those people are the ones that got us all in the spotlight.

What I do for Botting:
1-1.5h of Questing every 3-5 days.
1-3h of Rep every week.
1-3h of farming every week.
1-3 Dungeons per week for entire account.
1-2 LFR Completes for the week.
2 Complete Garrisons most days
12h per week of Enyo raiding.
