Best ghom bot!

[cheater123]

how many hours have you run to get ban?

[jamster90]

wTF? WHY AM I BAN? I THOUGHT MACRO IS SAFE????? ???????

There is no such thing as safe when it comes to botting. AutoIt just has a really low chance of getting caught. As with any bot you use at your own risk. If you are not aware of this you prob shouldnt be botting in the 1st place.

Thank you very mu, now i can get to the right mission. New problem is it does not select the game to start. I have make my own png as tutorial shows, but no luck. Can any one help me with the png images?

I have a few suggestions that MIGHT lower the chance of getting banned:

- If Blizzard has a way to check your 'runs' and your actions in-game then I would advise everyone to change the timers every once in a while (every day)!
(or If you have some programming skills add random timers in the script)

- Don't Bot more then a human is able to play ... botting 48 hours without a single break is obvious!

- Change the name of your bot!
Even tho Blizzard does not in theory have the right to check what is running on your pc (privacy), they probably can do it. If they see something like GhomBot.exe it's obvious, while if they see something like DivXPlayer.exe it might fool them ...

I would also advise everyone to not bot that much in the next few days ( ~ 1 week) if blizzard is on the hunt. I don't know how Blizzard checks for bots but I don't think that your account gets flagged as a bot and only banned like 1 month later or even more. It's probably done in a short period of time.


Also I thought about this: What if disconnects are a way for blizzard to check if you are a bot? A player would relogg almost instantly while a bot will probably crash/stop ... did you banned guys notice an increased amounth of disconnects in the last few days?

I've seen other people say this about privacy also. But Steam admitted they detect kernel level hacks and look at your DNS cache. Admitted by Gabe Newell Here. Checking what your running seems like less of a privacy breech than that

I wouldn't be surprised if the few who got banned used the same username for here as their battle.net log in.. In any case I'm going to cool it for the next little while.

hmm why I dont see anything about ban in other bot thread...
which class were you guys using?
I heard someone got warning by using spamming mouse click function even when he is manually using it.
not sure if its true tho.

GLORIOUS! Blizzard sent through a secret Warden update last night. Ban reports already coming in on multiple websites. Is ban wave 2.0 upon us? Does this mean ladder is coming? : Diablo

GLORIOUS! Blizzard sent through a secret Warden update last night. Ban reports already coming in on multiple websites. Is ban wave 2.0 upon us? Does this mean ladder is coming? (self.Diablo)

tl;dr
Warden (Blizzard's anti-cheat) received a secret update via ExtraWork (Warden's secret update tool) last night. This is one of the biggest updates that Warden has ever received.
All of the big name bots are detected.
Pixel based bots are detected (first time ever).
Bans reports are coming in on multiple websites.
Does this mean an end to BOA? or is Ladder upon us? Speculate in the comments.

Pixel based bots. Does it mean that D3 monitors if you have pixel poking codes?

Blizzard killed my HC WD lol. I've never EVER seen my non-hc DH fight mobs at the waypoint. And I've probably done 5000+ runs on the DH. And before you say this is why you shouldn't use it on HC. I was well aware of the risks. I'm not even mad just wanted to share this experience. I was thinking this could be a really easy and clever way Blizzard could prevent this bot from running successfully (aside from ban wave). By putting an elite pack by the waypoint it complicates what the bot must do by quite a bit. My WD didn't even have any pets out because he normally cast them at Ghom.

I'm not 100% sure but I think they can detect it by noticing that the mouse pointer goes to the exact same coordinate every time. Because if a human were to run 50 Ghom runs in a row the coordinates of the pointer would be different almost every time. Also the rate of clicks in between menus and skills for example is always the same with scripts like this. With a human they spam certain keys multiple times or hold and then depress key etc.

I used an AH script in Vanilla that used a random number for time between clicks and even then got banned after a few months (more than enough time to make some nice money though).

I stopped Botting for the time being. Not worth risking 1500+ hours of real play for some levels.. Maybe I could get a friend's unused/abandoned account and bot that one instead.
