What steps are being taken to prevent the next banwave?

i'm certain they can do more to protect their userbase from getting banned...

 

Recoding is a waste of time.
Blizzard will download the recoded bot and get the information they need again. Just like they did with current bot.

 

Waste of time?!? The Devs fu**ing have to recode! They earn money with this. So dont act like this is all for free and the HB Team is doing this for welfare.

 

it's so no other user logs in an gets banned.

 

No steps are being taken, just like previous banwave.

 

you prevent a ban by not botting.

 

Exactly!

 

Actually Blizzard did get all the source code for Heros of the storm bot I thought I read.

 

What we really need is a class action law suit. Stating that Blizzard seeks to be "Anti-Competitive" because the Bot allows you to level a character and not have to buy their "Boost". That the bot allows you to farm gold instead of buying tokens. That you can farm gold afk for tokens that sell while afk. Basically they have all these rules to block you from doing things with the bot you can do with there services. That they have purposefully engineered the game in such a manner as to be forced to use there services or dedicate enormous amounts of time. By banning botters they are acting in a manner that is "Anti-Competitive."!

Gaming is a big money industry and its time some regulations were slapped on how they can block you from playing a game "you" paid for.

 

how long tanke the ban wave ?

 

Leaving trip-wire on 24/7 will guarantee no more bans. - honorbuddy will be 100% safe to use.

 

lol what? tripwire didn't prevent any ban in May, and it didn't this time.

 

he trolling lol 24/7 trapwire

 

bump

 

I understand there's risk in botting blah blah but to the point were everyone gets banned that should worry everyone. Devs aren't open about the situation all they do is tell you tripwire activated blah blah we are working on it. Anyone opens a thread about, they get bashed and asked for proof etc. Maybe there aren't any steps just get bot back up, regardless devs will make money from new hb purchases and hb store. But then again its our own decision to keep using it.

 

Blizz didn't steal anything...Go read the article again. The code was GIVEN to Blizz in a plea deal with Apoc. With that being said, Apoc still had no right to give the code to Blizzard, and thus, the lawsuits against Blizzard.

Running executables...dude, please stop talking. If blizz was running executables to detect botting, they would have been caught ages ago.

 

I love reading all these posts, I apparently missed out on the May banwave as I was most likely in hiatus from botting (busy doing other things). My reason for botting is because I love the concept of botting. WoW has gone from a game of fun and adventure in my mind to a game of requiring to 'grind' in order to actually get anywhere, so botting is a natural progression. The one thing I do enjoy in the game is the high level raiding to which I still do (prior to the recent suspension), on one character that I do play manually. That's just me. Personally I don't care about being banned, its easy enough to start over, level a character to max in a day or two and start over (especially with the boost you get when you purchase a new licensed copy of the game), and I can do what I do and carry on. I have never botted for any financial gain, (with the exception of earning enough gold to buy the wow tokens for my subscription), I bot purely for entertainment of being able to bot, I do some of my own scripting with HB, nothing that I have ever 'released' as often there is better out there anyhow, but I do it because I enjoy learning. WoW isn't even the only game I bot with.

What I see is typical in these threads is a bunch of people who are getting upset about losing their accounts to bans/suspensions and blaming Bossland or getting upset with Blizz for banning accounts in the first place. The ToS clearly states that using 3rd party programs to automate tasks in the game is not allowed and will result in suspension or bans. Remember that we are all choosing to break the ToS, regardless of what 'reasons' you want to throw out for botting (and lots are valid reasons sure), but regardless, I think all this crying and blaming others is ridiculous. You all need to start taking responsibility for your own actions, your actions included botting, live with the consequences instead of trying to throw blame on others. If you don't want to get banned for botting, don't bot. Simple as that.

 

The same steps as the last banwae. None

 

So your the smart guy who buy another account to get banned in 1 week? "I knew I was at risk for a ban"... lol theres a difference to being able to bot for say 1 week or 1 year before the ban hammer hits... major one! Smart ass
