Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone can help. I consider myself to be a safe botter and by that I mean I only bot whilst I'm in the same room as the computer so that I can see what's happening or If I'm actually sat at the computer doing some other stuff. Anyone who says it's safe to just leave your bot running whilst you are away is just plain lying... you may have got away with it for now but the ban hammer will soon hit. There are some things you need to deal with physically, such as your bot getting stuck in a really busy area so everyone can tell you're up to something, running into the same corner of a doorway for 5 minutes really doesn't look good... I'm sure we all know the situation... You check on WoW to see a player stood right next to you, targeting you and just watching you (probably considering reporting you). There have always been those kind of player who think they're clever maybe get a buzz out of finding and reporting a bot. It can even be a player on their flying mount above you so you don't even see them without looking. This can be really dangerous so that's why I like to monitor my botting. In situations like this I might /emote them, say Hi or just turn off the bot and start jumping around and look more natural until they go away. It's a horrible feeling that there are players out there to get you and will waste their own time by watching you like some detective. Anyway, if anyone used Glider you will remember the harsh sound it made when somebody whispered you so it'd make you jump up, go to the computer and deal with whatever's happened. It also had an option to simply stop the bot completely if a player entered the immediate area around you, so you'd look as though you went AFK to just get a drink or use the toilet and it would carry on as soon as they left. My question is, can I do this with HB? Maybe in the form of a plug in or an addon that anybody knows about? I think this would be a great addition to HB for the safe botters who like to be careful. I'm sure people will think what's the point in stopping the bot if anyone is around, "it won't get anything done!"... Well that's just not true because my server is very quiet and I rarely run into other plays while questing, so it really wouldn't slow things down very much. And a "whipser alert" would be great too, just because if a player is next to you and whispers you saying "Hey" and you just carry on botting... You're going to get reported, so a response makes them think it's a real player and it kind of would be as the alert would make me switch to wow and reply "Hey what's up?" back to them. If you think about it, this would be really great for grinding too which is the easiest way to get banned. If your bot simply stops when there is a player nearby, how can you ever get reported? You can't be reported for looking AFK. If anyone can help i'd really appreciate it and if not I'd like to hear your thoughts anyway! Thanks a lot guys, Halli

really i think you may be over reacting, its not as big of a deal and that stuff almost never happens anymore, with the invention of questing and mesh pathing, your not running the strict wavepoint paths that make you look like a bot. 90% of people aren't going to tell you apart from a normal player. the other 10% are ether botters themselves or have too much time on their hands.
