      Thanks for the correction, I was mistaken on the date of the tripwire!

      Hey there KayKay, I think we're not communicating well about this:

      After the HB team released the version I waited until Sunday before start using it again, just to be sure, just used the CR for about 2 hours, and the next day, BAN on the mail.

      He was doing fine, didn't use anything after the tripwire from the 19th of March, he then fired up Honorbuddy after the latest Honorbuddy release. Only after starting the new Honorbuddy he was banned (which was not using GarrisonButler or anything but the Combat Routine).

      As an aside from this 1 guy: The majority of the reports aren't using a Garrison bot. That's the main idea I was trying to convey, but I guess I did it badly :)

      Dear Not-so-Genius...

      I never said it was. But in reference to your original post you implied that the ability to instantly drop "Aimable" spells was exclusive to HB users and not something a "Normal" player could use. You also implied that it could be used as a point of detection, which again, is False

      Your move

      There is no hard and fast explanation for the bannings or a 1-size-fits-all approach. The best thing is to wait for the HB team to respond and investigate before people bring out the pitchforks and start pointing fingers. Several people using your exact configuration were banned. This further indicates that we really have no idea what's going on.

      I think you're confusing me with https://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/209121-honorbuddy-detected-3.html#post1903839
      He said that it was a point of detection and something a normal player couldn't do. I argued otherwise with "2. Activate aimable spells yourself." Maybe you should read names better?
      I also never once said it was an HB only thing. I simply said that you can't simply use a mouseover macro. Maybe it was worded incorrectly, but I am still partially correct for saying that you cannot only use a mouseover macro to place aimable spells.

      Not to mention that I'm pretty sure 2 actions with 1 button outside of wow breaks ToS. Not 100% sure on it, but I believe I did read somewhere that outside keyboard/mouse macros should only do 1 action per 1 button.

      You should find how PQR banwave, Glider banwave, Pirox banwave were handled... thousands of ppl banned in single moment.

      Just one thing, Macro key board where one key is bound to more then one another key (or more then one thing in wow) is technically bot and It was confirmed on official forums that such thing can lead to ban (but it is rare)

      Apologies,
      You are correct, I had my users and responses confused. I'm still a bit unclear why the sarcastic tone of "Dear Genius" needed to be used, but whatever.
      You are correct in Stating that in game this mouseover macro cannot be accomplished. I just wanted to highlight that a "Normal user" can pull this off without much effort as well. We are arguing over semantics and both are technically correct.

      This is a whole different discussion, and one I am honestly unsure of. It could very well be against the TOS, but to be fair since Blizz is not required to disclose anything regarding the purpose for your Ban they can claim just about anything. As it related to this topic though, the point I was trying to make is that none HB users can and do, so this all of the time. It is a popular Macro combination that you can find on many "Macro" sites. In fact I am reasonably certain that the first time that I saw it was on the B.Net forums themselves. I know a ton of people that play by hand that us this and I have never heard of anyone being banned for doing it, so I don;t think it could be used as a valid search tool to ban us.

      The forum poster, you quoting, "KayKay" have informed us already, that he have NOT used any Garrison botbase, so this kind of flaming is unmotivated and pointless!

      More than that,
      Such demonstration of offensive and unmature language have no place on these forums.

      I am surprised, It comes from a fellow forum member, registered almost 5 years ago!

      Welp, pretty scary indeed.

      I use(d) this macro combination often:

      /run function FnH() for i=0,4 do for j=1,GetContainerNumSlots(i) do local t={GetItemInfo(GetContainerItemLink(i,j) or 0)} if t[7]=="Herb" and select(2,GetContainerItemInfo(i,j))>=5 then return i.." "..j,t[1] end end end end

      and

      /run local f,l,n=AuM or CreateFrame("Button","AuM",nil,"SecureActionButtonTemplate") f:SetAttribute("type","macro") l,n=FnH() if l then f:SetAttribute("macrotext","/cast Milling\n/use "..l) SetMacroItem("Macro Name",n) end
      /click AuM

      What the first macro does is make an inventory of your herbs and the second macro starts milling herbs with the press of 1 button (i bound it to a key and I can just mash it real quick, with bags closed.

      Found the macro on the wow forum, and now I am thinking, maybe that macro got me banned.

      I have barely been playing all week. Logged on early this morning, set garrison missions, updated honorbuddy and logged off, did not even start the bot...Come back and am now banned. I mainly used enyo for raids and did most by hand...Looks like something is detectable by blizzard...

      If thats a macro inside of wow using wows api/lua functionality, i dont see an issue with it.
      The main concern was multi action 1 button macros OUTSIDE of wow using keyboard macro buttons.
