      First-- HUGE thanks to the Developers and Community for an amazing product and effort. I'd like to share here what I felt I had accomplished these last several months. I had 5 accounts banned. I had returned to WoW a few months back, bought myself 5 nice accounts, and dove back in. I knew the risks, but had a lot of fun... so it was worth it! Hopefully some day it will be safe to come back and try again.

      I've always wondered what other people accomplish with HB... so I'll at least put mine here for now:

      • Made a coordinated team of 5 characters (DK, Warrior, Priest, Druid, Hunter).
      • DK was semi-automatic, targetting and movement manual except for fighing, with other characters slaved to DK in a semi-random follow pattern to not look bottish.
      • Routines were mostly by TuanHa
      • Wrote an independent interrupt system for more efficient and timely interrupts
      • Wrote a "runaway" routine that avoided enemy players if they got within melee distance.
      • Wrote a "peel" system that slowed/rooted enemies too close to heals.

      With the above I got my 5 man team to a little above 1700 in Arenas. Characters were almost all purple 690 PVP gear. Was quite happy with that. Next up to push them higher in Arena was a shared memory system for Bots "to talk" to each other through coordinated interrupts (I had noticed that the bots were "over interrupting). I also had planned better avoidance logic.

      For me the fun of HB was using it to play a 5 man team and outwit other player groups. It was especially good at smashing stupid 5 man Hunter teams, or 5 man DK teams that seemed to be multi-bot boxxer groups. I know I gave other groups of "real" people a real run for their money.

      Share your accomplishments if you want others to know what you had done until the ban.

      Until we meet again!

      RogueTexan

      PS-- For me part of the fun as well is learning new programming concepts. So, in that sense it was a great time spent!!

      Well for me Honorbuddy let me break the addiction that was world of Warcraft. It sounds odd I am sure but by using honorbuddy I felt I could walk away from the game for once. Before I used the bot I didn't like the idea of not doing something in game to push my account further, it could be simple things like grinding more gold, reputation, gear, solo dungeons, alts, pvp or even just some odd satisfaction of being in game even if I wasn't directly doing anything. I felt very much compelled to play regularly but when I used the trial for honorbuddy the moment I seen my character grinding it's own levels. I knew that I had to use it to save my outside life.

      In game I have:

      - All characters level 100.
      - Never have a shortage of gold or crafting materials in this expansion.
      - Full set of gear for each class.
      - Learned some scripting and programming basics from tinkering with plug-ins / combat routines.

      I would say my real gains come from outside the game with me working a new job without the old addictions that WoW would bring leading me to not being able to focus properly on the thing's in life that really matter.

      Best of all... My account isn't banned! I have no idea how but it appears I dodged the ban hammer.

      First of all, I am one of those typical players who only log on for raids or pvp satisfaction, anything else I simply do not like nor want to spend time to do.

      Buying honorbuddy just makes gold making or farming cool stuff easy. dont have to do a thing!

      -All characters level 100
      - Never ran out of gold
      - reach 1.9k in 2s with elite rogue combat routine
      - Using mistweaver premium class routine in raids [always #1 or #2 in healing meters]
      - load of cool stuff

      I managed to wring a couple more years of sorta-fun out of WoW.

      I've been playing wow on and off. And I took the bad decision to play a lot while attempting lawschool. I've heard about HB from web friends. I did give it a shot.

      With HB:

      - 8 characters fully AFK to 100
      - 2300-2500 rating in 3s on warrior, druid, hunter, rogue, paladin and dk
      - 2200 in 2s on all 8 characters
      - 2200 in 5s on all 8 characters
      - At least 2000 rating in RBGs on all 8 characters
      - Hero on warrior, hunter, druid (above current hero cut-off)
      - Above the curve Imperor Falls on warrior (mid december, during my finals)
      - Above the curve Blackhand on warrior (mid april, during my finals)
      - Farmed Invincible, Ashe of Al'Ar, Drakes and Rivendare? charger

      I've been able to score very very solid grades, party like people in college do in movies and be a total wow nerd. All of this at the same time.

      A big thanks to the HB community from devs to scripters to members, it's been an awesome ride!

      I discovered HB 4-5 months ago, (wish I knew about it long time ago when it was really undetected). It actually made me activate my wow account after many years inactive,not only that ,I bought another account.
      Ran them both ,leveled about 17 toons to 100 between both. Then they got banned about 1 1/2 months into it (both 6 months ) .
      Then I purchased 2 more accounts, leveled another 16 toons to 100 and got hit with this ban wave , also 6 months months,coincidence 1 1/2 month into it.
      I got 4 accounts with 8-11 level 100's each. In roughly 5 months.

      Frosticus...

      No, not full AFK. I never ever AFK botted. That was not the "game" for me.

      One bot was "Tank" that I moved pre-engagement around the arena. However, all I had to do was point the main bot at the target of choice... after that the rest then was "afk". Routines took over from there for all 5 bots-- including movement. The other bots were "slaved" to the DK -- but would occasionally target other members of the enemy team than the Tank's target. If a given target got lower than 20% health, then all bots, including healers, would try to burn that target down.

      If DK died there was a hierarchy of "tank" defaults after that. Occasionally I would have to repoint the bot at someone I thought would be a better target on the other team... I found that slamming on one person, usually a healer for a while would get the healers distracted. Then I would turn on a squishy or rogue-- usually was a great trick to take out one of the opponents before the healers caught up.

      Was also fun in BGs to have my 5-man team descend on a flag area and clean up (mostly). I learned a lot watching when my guys failed. Most of the "glory" goes to the Store Routines (TuanHa)-- my "bot" just coordinated their activities.

      Hit the character cap on several servers, got myself rare mounts like Time lost proto drake in a matter of days. Farmed millions of gold with a dedicated team, never sold any gold so never got banned either. Had a lot of fun mining/herbing and selling it, loved to see the auctions coming in the mail with all that gold.

      Established a twink account with 60, 70, and 80 level twinks that I just farm the best gear on for fun.

      I was in a lull when the banwave hit, and hadn't botted for like a week on anything, so no accounts of mine are banned at all for some reason, just waiting for honorbuddy to be up again >_>

      Same here.

      I was terribly addicted throughout Vanilla, TBC and Wotlk. Like super terrible addicted, that way where you start to fuck up in life because of gaming. After beginning to use HB I actually started doing a lot of other things, I started caring for my RL again, it allowed me to completely get away from the game - mentally & physically, without being away, you know what I mean. This was definitely the biggest accomplishment, and you have no idea how thankful I am for Honorbuddy to help me get away from the game. As ironic and ridiculous as it may sound. :)

      (Yes, I let the bot run while being away a LOT in the beginning. I started to monitor 100% about a year ago, - but it still let me do other stuff while on my computer. Also, I can run it while working, and don't have to waste my free time for that game anymore. You get the idea.)

      Being able to play the game with my friends, as I suffer from severe arthritis in my hands I had no way of keeping up before I found HB and combat routines and beeing able to automate repetative chores that was pura agony for me.

      So, basicly, WoW is now a dead game for me....

      ive accomplished the knowledge that a account means nothing to me.

      lost one with 23 lvl 90s and now one with 12 lvl 90s where i think 3-4 where lvl 100.

      yesterday screaming so hard im done and today i started a new account and am smashing buttons
      for the first time ever on a lvl 55 mage now.

      Trying to figure out keybindings with hands the size of a volkswagen.

      sore hands.. lol.. theres no way i keep this going.

      its the addiction that keeps me here, and HB made ir bearable.

      Fu blizz... ur game isnt worth playing no more without a bot for a long time.

      im getting instant Q's as a dps since i restarted. So many clueless people

      so many lvling. so many have been banned. Prolly way more then a press release would admit.
