      I don't believe I will retrieve an honest or detailed response from the buddy team for this matter, predominantly because they would of stated that information in the thread addressing the aforementioned topic.

      I'm just going to give it a shot none the less;

      What brought brought back arena support?

      I am going to list a few things, for some of the users to create a discussion about:

      a)The barrage of users hassling the buddy team to bring back arena support
      b)Players were still hit with either bans/suspensions even for not using arena routines
      c)Honorbuddy was losing a lot of its user base from no longer supporting arenas (this is probably not a direct impact from arena botting maybe also due to world of warcrafts player subscription decent)
      d)Other competitors were going to draw more attention, once routines were finished for them. (I believe gladiator suite was stable for R****, similarly taunha was working on something)
      e)Other bots/lua unlockers were using arena routines anyway, and their use had a misdirection to honorbuddy. (e.g. a player who used bot x in arena, an opposing player thinks he used honorbuddy).
      f)something I missed?

      I don't know from a business perspective the buddy team will answer this, it is fine if they don't. I furthermore know that I will most likely be greeted with responses such as 'Who cares, its back.' I am an inquisitive individual, hence the questions.

      I had been working on an LUA unlocker for making routines on a 64bit but now I don't know whether to continue, its a fun side project.

      Their reasoning was very clear...

      "On May 26 we made an announcement that we would block the use of Honorbuddy in arena. While our reasoning at the time seemed correct, we have accepted that this is not something that we want to continue with. So as of the next release, Honorbuddy will return to its old policy of being usable in arena, but without official support.."

      They made a mistake with their decision, they reneged on said decision. That's all that matters.

      The fact that it never was arena that caused the banwave, and they realized that?

      The most logical conclusion is money, coders were making bypasses for Arena and they most likely understood that if people really want something then it might as well be us supplying it than another forum.

      The code also hid underneath Honorbuddy so it would make Honorbuddy a target which means they're losing money for nothing. - 2 cents.

      I agree with Giwin on this matter. It's all about money. The HB team raising their already ridiculous fees for developers, as well as crippling several other major CR developers with the removal of Arena = a huge net loss for HB as a whole.

      It all comes back to the HB team basically shooting themselves in the foot, and then having a banwave...It basically spiraled everything out of control for them. The HB team couldn't have picked a worse time to raise their fees for developers.

      It's surprising to me that Blizz hasn't started auto-banning every HB user the second they attach the bot to wow, especially now that the HB team has sued Blizz. I'm glad Blizz isn't doing that, but it's surprising to me that they aren't.

      Agreed.

      I always suspected that supporting Arena brought Bossland a huge amount of heat (and the banwave)... but (given this decision) maybe not?

      Interesting times ahead... as always, proceed with caution!

      Many big words used in this topic so far.
