      Tanking with a Blood DK can be quite a treat, because you rarely die and any damage you take can be self-healed. But honestly I cannot play such a character without HB managing things.

      Yes that makes me a cheater, I'm at peace with that. And yet because of my HB use I lost my original 678 Blood DK, whom I (wrongfully) spent money on for gear and sunk a lot of time into.

      If I was to start again, I'd have to do over a lot of things, and it is overwhelming. I've tried this with a lot of classes, but it has eventually felt like a waste of money. Ironically I don't wanna sit in front of my PC for hours on end, mindlessly grinding things just to regain my former position.

      All in all, I can't play the game without HB. When HB is down for whatever reason, be it adapting to new patches or protecting itself from Blizzard, playing the game is harder for me. That's really sad in my opinion. :(

      EDIT: Also, uninstalling and then redownloading the game multiple times hasn't helped either (especially my data quota).

      I think you may need medication.

      I can kind of understand the whole grinding to 100, and I am not sure about this, can't you just spend the $60 or whatever $$$ and get a legit lvl90 character?

      As for the game being overwhelming just YouTube what you don't understand. If you are unable to buy a lvl90 character then just use KICKS leveling profiles and you should make it to lvl100 in 2-3 weeks.

      I really don't understand what you a bitching about.

      It's having to redo what I've already done over a dozen times. That does get boring after a while, especially the beginning quests and the pre-6.2 Tanaan Jungle scenario. Also motivation to sit down and play to achieve the end goal (the 735 ring, Garona, L100 Epic followers, a near self-sufficient garrison). I don't care for cosmetic stuff like mounts or acheevs anymore (unless the latter helps my performance in some way like Draenor Pathfinder would).

      I feel the same, I can't play WoW anymore if HB is not working. I didn't get caught on the Banwave because I was done with content and didn't play since late March, but now with the 6.2 I wanna go back and use my custom routines for grinding in that fucking horrid jungle but I just can't play by hand.

      It's not lack of skill, it's just that I got used to not worry about combat routines that I just can't do it anymore. My WoW membership will end soon and I feel like I am not renewing it.

      And yes, this thread sounds like a therapy group, lol.

      Yes, the joy of HB is being able to play multiple classes. In my time playing WoW, I had a lvl90/100 or several classes, but I only mastered my main a shadow priest - which even HB could still do the rotation better than me (LOL).

      Since HB leveled my other toons, of course I didn't master the rotation...or even know it in the slightest bit for that matter....so it was nice to get to play other classes in like a guild raid setting.


      And after playing the game like that for so long, it is really hard to go back to playing it the old way. Especially when you factor in the fact that you are going to either be poor, or have to spend most of your time doing trivial shit...


      I really hate Blizzard for this. Like I was to the point where I was only using HB to do my rotation in raids, not using it for anything else. And after reading some of the posts from you guys (post-banwave) some people have medical disabilities that wouldn't even be able to play the game without HB. So when you take into consideration some people are using the bot just to improve their gameplay quality without negatively affecting other people, it angers me. Also, that they are willing to sacrifice such a large number of subscriptions makes me wonder.


      OK, I'm done ranting. I think I have made THIS post several times on different forums too. I am just still salty my main account got the banhammer ): and I am not going to come back unless I am able to use HB again and feel the same level of safety I did before.

      So we either continue to use HB and maybe get perma-banned, or we don't use it but have to grind EVERYTHING.

      I also didn't help myself by buying gear from outside the game (back when I had the DK I bought a lot of 665 gear). Prior to WoD I never did this. This one is on me of course.

      ....just stop playing the game then?

      You save yourself a load of time[/U ]AND money by avoiding a game that you have just said that you don't even WANT to play.


      *** I mean this seriously and not in a mean or malicious way! ***

      You have just been given the gift of a new life, without the hassles of WoW and HB!! Go out and enjoy! :) :) :) :)

      Having the joy of playing a class you would otherwise struggle with (see me tanking anything) is a joy. Which is a huge benefit for HB so downtime is a bit annoying. I don't blame anyone for it as it is needed, so during HB downtime I play an easy class.
      I also am not in a progression raiding guild so I'm not entirely dependant on HB.

      Outside of that I have already went back to HB for playing the game for me as I simply don't have the time or patience myself. I work full time and have to do adult stuff, or I'm simply too worn out to enjoy playing. So I oversee the bot do the tasks for me as I enjoy a movie.

      I give it more down time since I got caught up in the banwave, and I won't be getting tokens all the time, but other than that I honestly wouldn't care if I got banned again. It's a time sink to me and one I mean to keep as enjoyable as possible. Having the bot play stuff I couldn't be asked to do while I enjoy the raid nights and new content allows me to enjoy the game and keep up a respectable ilevel and play the AH for gold with little time devoted to boring things.
