[Carkas]

1: Region? --- EU and US
2: What bot did you use? --- Not PQR, private hack.
3: Did you get suspended or banned? --- Absolutely not.
4: Mac or PC? --- PC
5: Detailed info --- Not banned because I didn't use a poorly coded lua unlocker like PQR, where the source code is so readily available for Blizzard to take a look at. GG folks.

" witch one is it ?! they didn't send me a email or didn't me any extra response .

I didn't get banned because I don't use garbage. Speak for yourself

Are you mad that hundreds of thousands of people use this bot to play? and they play better than you do and your so angry about it, that you just HAD to make an account here to rage about it?

Wait, people are crying? The moment you downloaded this program you knew you took the risk. I got banned myself for trying it out somewhere in November, even though I never used it (useless as healer). Deserved it I guess. Not even gonna argue about it. Time to reroll another game I needed this push

Ok before you read any further, please take note im not trying to tell you how they have been detecting people or trying to convince you that you were banned simply because they are scanning your addon folder, I do belive they have multiple way to detect peoples not just with the addons folder, but I can confirm without any doubt *THEY ARE ALSO LOOKING AT THE ADDONS FOLDER* and this is why.

I got a new job 3weeks ago and I found out someone else was also playing wow at the shop, we were talking about wow often and found out a free xfer was available this week and he could move to my server for free so he did, next day he had trouble with wow, he couldn't log at all, he had an error about texture.MPQ being corrupt, he ran the repair utility, chkdisk, removed the file... and did try everything he could find on wow website about this issue, nothing worked.

I told him to delete wow and download it again, but he was almost capped with his bandwith, so I told him I would copy my wow folder and bring my external hard disk with me which I did, we went to his house and I copied the files and only removed the WTF folder, once he logged, my addons was enabled automaticly, i had pqiinterface and probably in the addons folder, he simply logged but got booted right away and got an error message and his account was banned, 30mins later he got a email about license being removed, perm ban, i feel bad for him, he was not aware of pqr or pe and still have no idea why he banned right now. At first we were thinking about a security step from blizzard because when he was logging on the website there was an option to change his password. He sent a ticket for some explanation etc.. and they said they would not lift the ban, we were wondering what the **** is going on.


When i came back to my house i found out i was also banned and figured why i got banned. This happened on January 22 btw.
I did Use PQR and PE so i still derserve it and wont bitch about it, but still pissing me off about his ban.

Sorry for my English and the wall of text.

Hey, i would like to know if they are still banning for this, because i got banned a few hours ago(8-9 hours ago) and i dont know if its because of this or because oi got caught with honorbuddy(i was levelling so its very unlikely)

[jeff0409]

1: EU-FR
2: PQR/PQI
3: Perma Ban
4: MAC & PC but pqr doesn't work on MAC
5: only for pvp since november 2013, i have made a request. Look the blizzard answer (French MJ) :
"It may happen that the game client examines the processes of memory and / or processor of your computer to detect any third party program execution simultaneously with the game"

since i have been banned, all my addons reps are locks, i'm administrator of the computer, i'm the only one user. I join a picture.
I have saw today some file with the date of the day so i'haven't launch the game today. i know they can see all the files that we have on ours computer so is it legal ? if you want to see those files i join another picture after my work when i come back home

Attachment 16825

legally they do not have the right to look on our computer. it looks like hacking. When we play we connect to the server and the connection pemet them to have our IP address but that does not mean they are allowed to use it. These are our personal information between us and our ISP.

sorry for flood

5: Botted ONCE on this account using HB but have been using pqr for ages, recieved ban email the following morning but dated jan22nd. all other accounts are safe (that i don't use pqr on, but use HB on)

[Planetdune]

I don't get it... I mean I been botting (tyrael) for ages now and not been banned (thank the heavens).. but if I get this right it's the PQR bot that caused the trouble... how can they detect this ?? Unless the bot is "to perfect" .. but why write a "perfect bot" to begin with ? Noone is perfect... a bot should rotate and change rotations a little here and there, introduce some irandom input lag, use different timings etc...

I was under the impression after so many years of bot development this was long known by now... and it makes me feel uneasy to continue using Tyrael... anyone knows if that bot also does "perfect rotations" ?
