I had 3/6 of my accounts perma banned this morning anyone had the same? To be honest I was kinda stupid with 3/6 so thats prob why they got banned but will fill out form asap which will be once I get back from work, main banned as well, already know why and how I was banned but as I said will explain for others later EDIT: 12:05 1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account? Both 2)Which version (and Beta or Release)?: Release 3)If so, when was the last time?: 1hr ago 4)What profile were you using?: Kicks leveling profile, a random herb&ore farming profile 5)What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname: 6)What plugins are you using?: RndBuddy 7)How many hours per day did you bot for?: 8-12Hrs day 8)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot? Less than 30% 9)How many auctions per day did you have?: Stupid amount... 10)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods? Nope just HB's 11)Was your account involved in gold selling? Hell to the no! 12)EU or US realm? EU 13)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account? Paid from 2008.... Now here is some info on why I know I was stupid... 1. Did the unspeakable, farmed on my main account... 2. Did BGbuddy on my main 3. Broke my schedule big time.... 4. Mailed 10k+ mats aka ores, herbs from GBuddy 5. Tied all accounts to my B.net 6. Put them in the same guild with my other 5 having same name as each other except a few small things Now I know I was being stupid but I thought, hey if i get banned lets hope to god its gonna be only a 72hr... and at first I was extremely careful then I dunno just went dumb as hell... now I think blizz does "tests" to see if your a bot by doing random DC's as I noticed a few of my chars got dcd often and my others kept botting aka a big way to show your botting... Still managed to make my investment pay for itself + some... so all is good except my main MY MAIN!! lol
Well... I just got perma banned on my 7 year old account 4 mins before you posted this :/. Kinda sucky feeling Update: After kissing ass in a ticket, I got it down to a 72 hour suspension. So relieved.
No. it's not a 'banwave'. For the millionth time, a ban-wave is a wave of bans. Hundreds...Thousands.... not half a dozen. If you can't access these forums because the webservers dying due to overloading, then theres a chance of a banwave.
When HB went offline due to new warden update all was good... bet there was more traffic then a banwave then... EDIT: Offense: use of bots or third-party automation software.. thats why I was banned :/
banwave is thousands in 1 hour or so. not you and ur uncles daughters friend and 4 of their relatives at the same time. Just unlucky, nothing else.
hence why I stated if reports come flooding in then its looking like a banwave lol but anyway in the process of trying to get it reduced to 72hr as its my first offense, I best be able to get it a 72hr spent like £200 alone in the past 2month on that 1 account, if its gonna keep perma im gonna be getting my £200 back!!
Again I say (having lived through 2 real banwaves in the past), then IF there is a banwave, the tell tale sign will no be the tonnes of reports being flooding in. It will be the fact that he website will simply crash due. Like a ddos attack. So many people will be flooding here.
No you won't. If you were stupid enough to bot on your main, you deserve to lose that money. They're usually lenient on long time user first offenders, though, unless it's abuse of the economy.
Holy shit I'm sick of this. A "banwave" isn't this. A banwave is when Honorbuddy itself is compromised. A banwave is when HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS(100,000s) of botters are banned in a single day. You will NOT be able to get on these forums if a banwave happened. I promise. Many botters don't look at the forums at all, even on Tripwires, but when all 50 of their accounts are instantly permabanned for using a bot, they come here by the thousands. Stop calling <10,000 bans a banwave. It's not a banwave.
)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy nothing else needed to say GB is a sure way to get your ass locked up i am sure that blizzard has a CTM click to move counter feature this is how they know but thats just my opinion
Wonder if honorbuddy will find a alternative to click to move, and I'm sure if the big players noticed tripwire they would be spamming forums as they wanna know what's happening and if it's gonna take long, unless they aren't wanting to know when HB will be back up to continue on making cash.
If it was ctm theyd be nailing a lot of other people who play legitly too. There was a time when all pc games were pretty much ctm...and some people don't change how they play and continue to play ctm style. I would be extremely surprised if this was something they looked into as a flag for botting. And fret not...ctm and injecting keys into the process isn't the only way to accomplish movement.
I got a 72 hour suspension this morning too. Using bgbuddy but I think I was reported. Because my honorbuddy randomly goes full retard and stops attacking but follows people's every move. To the point where it's super obcious. Gg I'm done using shitter buddy. To many issues. Not worth my investment anymore to bot
Blizzard cannot distinguish between ctm and normal movements without watching you play. all movement input is handled clientside. the only thing sent to the derver is location and the direction you are facing.
Gaiz I botted instances for ten hours straight on my main using a public profile and got banned. Ban wave, watch out!!!11
