      InB4: LOOK AT BAN SECTION!

      Not a banwave, banwaves hit the majority of the userbase, the current bans are more likely from player reports, hence them being permabans.

      wouldnt be that much surprised. Im using 2 different bots (HB + diff. Provider) -

      Started leveling one char after the tripwire release with HB on Sunday evening, sent him gathering herbs yesterday at midnight.

      4 Bots = 4 VMs on 4 diff. IPs
      3 bots@Provider x, 1 bot@HB

      2 Bots @ Provider X use the same Profile on the same x-realm Zone as that one! hb bot is using. So if I'd hit so many reports, why are all my other bots still online? I mean they are in the same! x-realm zone, its nearly the same! profile - the difference is just the bot and that HB account gets closed after 14 hours of farming? Its very unlikely to get so many reports in such a short amount of time, I didnt even start selling anything in the auction house. I could call it bad luck but from all of my botting experience with hb it seems more likely that it has nothing to do with reports. All "suicide" herb bots which were closed just a few days after creation were all banned in the past shortly before a wave hit me.

      the next thing is, that I never had stucks with the hb profile in this area, the other profile isnt working as good as hb and it stucks from time to time. both bots were running with hb before 7.2 and after the patch I switched over to the other bot provider for those accounts. Gametime was refreshed for the 2nd time, playtime is about 65 days! so something like ~2 months farming 24/7 straight. This can lead very likely to the conclusion that HB got detected with 7.2 and the devs still oversaw something after the tripwire release last week.

      My VPN provider is very good, im the only one using the IP where my bots are running on, its very unlikely that I was hit just by an IP flag, otherwise all my other bots would have been already wiped out (same location) which happened in the past while suicide farming gundrak/naxx etc. where I just needed to switch the country for a couple of weeks before the ip was clean again.

      To help out for the devs: its possible that he last ninja patch is causing those problems, those not banned accounts are running on an old wow version, the banned one on 23937. And some1 stated in Provider X board that only his 4 day old accounts were banned (so its likely he was only botting on 23937).

      In my opion it looks more like they "processed" cumulated player reports.

      This cant explain how 1 bot is banned within 15 hours of farming on the same route as 2 other bots on the same x-realm server and the other 2 bots are surviving 9-10 weeks of possible reports.

      I know there is some bad luck on some realms where you shouldnt bot some areas because you get so many reports in a short time. But on the same x-realm server where i could report myself its very unlikely that the fresh account gets banned after one night farming and the other 2 survive this.

      I have seen a lot of banns and I think i can understand the ban practices and chances very good after something like 500+ banned suicide accounts in the last 5 years of heavily botting and todays bans raises questions, not towards reports. Im still waiting for the ban email, if it states reports im completly wrong but because there is no email i can only guess and my best shot is that the last ninja patch triggered some kind of detection.

      I think so too. Bots who, at the farm of the Dungeons, remained intact with me. Only on farming herbs were punished. Most likely because of the reports.

      3/5 banned
      had 2 bots running all the time since HB was updated after 7.2 patch
      3 bots run out of gametime while waiting for patch.
      1-2 days ago i bought them other 3 accounts gametime again and they got hit today.
      the first 2 are still running.
      the 3 banned accounts got perma banned and no email about the ban reason.
      all running on the same machine

      EDIT: need to correct myself, i did mis check.
      1 of the 2 running from start was banned and one of the new ones not.
      all the banned ones are horde chars.
