Banned, using HonorBuddy and a Combat Routine, this has nothing to do with PQR, this has to do with unlocking LUA.

I expect that WoW just lost a SHITLOAD of subscriptions. This has gone undetected for Sooooo long....

Thats not normal, they are giving a lot perma ban, to PQR users, a lot...

You have no idea what you are talking about, also did you ever use Gatherbuddy?

Kind of a bad move on Blizzard to perma ban these people. If I were in their shoes, at the very worse, I would have given a 72 hour ban and maybe a final warning. I've been hearing about people getting perma banned for this even though it was their first offense.

How is that a bad movie?
Doing an exploit that only gives you benefits, and doesn't hurt other players or ruin their gameplay - That should warrant a 72 hour ban/Final Warning.
However, using PQR/PQI to ruin PvP for thousands of PvPers, for months, should really be punished in the hardest way possible.
Those things ruined low-mid ranked PvP, with warriors insta-spell reflecting CC & Burst, using Stormbolt when you'd blind etc.
People used these things knowing that if they got caught, they'd be punished.
So it's not a bad move from Blizzard, taking all of the "bad" people out of the game. It's making the game more enjoyable for the majority of the players.

And yes, i know this is an exploit site - I'm just saying that when you ruin the game for others, by knowingly using Hacks or 3. Party programs, you shouldn't come crying when you get a perma ban.

I need some feedback: Almost every single one of these ban posts says they have been using PQI with PQR. Has anyone been banned with having NEVER installed PQI?

HIGHLY doubt many people don't use PQI these days, since most decent rotations require it.

I got banned while I was using HB, but I did have PQI installed, hadn't actively used it for a while though...

agreed makes sense

[evilshade1234]

1. US
2: PQR
3: permabanned
4: PC
5: only been using pqr since a few days ago (this is my first offense, and perma banned, lol great)

I submitted an appeal few hours ago, if that doesn't work then I quit WoW for good. Why? No ****ing way I'm working my ass off to get to get top pve-gear ALL OVER again, especially with the weekly limit it will take a good while to get back where I was at. Not to mention, incredibly repetitive and boring.. No thanks.

1: Region (EU/US etc) EU
2: What bot did you use? PQR(PQI), PE, very little Honorbuddy, QuickTrack
3: Did you get suspended or banned? 72h suspension for "Hacks"
4: Mac or PC? PC
5: Detailed info

Been using edited public profiles for my rogue and public profiles for DK n others. 99% PvE

2nd account (my mother's)

1: Region (EU/US etc) EU
2: What bot did you use? PQR(PQI)
3: Did you get suspended or banned? Pernament for "automated 3rd party software"
4: Mac or PC? PC
5: Detailed info

11 90 level characters, most healers, 70% PvE 30% PvP

I will probably quit WoW until the time comes when something close to PQR comes along, it was a good run I have to admit, funny thing is that blizz is going to take a HUGE hit on subs I believe
Also my mother is quitting, the 9years old account isnt something that can easily be replaced.(She knew of the risks though...)

[Budoy]

1. US
2. PQR and HB
3. Perma and 72 hours sus
4. PC
5. my main account got banned while my bot account only got 72 hours how sad is that.

[prettycooldude]

1: US
2: PQR
3: perma banned
4: PC
5: Kind of silly to perma ban for this program in my opinion. Blizzard is going way overboard. But, they're betting 95%+ of you will eventually play again and they're probably right...

If I play again, I'm going to avoid this site. Programs from here always get me ****ed. This bullshit the admins have going with directing you to amazon etc. for random page clicks is shady as **** also.

[starl1te]

it would be VERY interesting to figure out if this is a PQI-based banwave. funny thing i never even realized it exists until recently, i've been using a rogue profile that works great without PQI. I never realized it has become so prevalent.

the positive thing may be that people can continue to use PQR w/o the addon...

so folks, if you got banned and have never ever used PQI (the addon that goes into your WoW Interface folder), please post here stating so...

[Doperth]

1: EU
2: Used HB but not for months now, Tried PE once for about half an hour, mainly used PQR/PQI
3: Banned. (First offence)
4: PC
5: Mainly used cokx and Vitalics paid profiles.

I have another account with 90s on that hasn't been banned and I used PQR/PQI on that, but if I can''t get my ban lifted then my WoW days will be over.

Started using the likes of HB and PQR as I was too lazy to press my buttons and learn the class, but after using cokx and vitalic routines, it made me a better player, like the odd time I would log on get instantly invited to a party for an arena and I neded to update everything and I had forgot. So when I went in I was like **** it's not working, but we still kept winning as I had learned everything the routine done. So thanks to mainly Xelper, cokx and vitalic,
