Article: Bot Bans on the Rise: Possible Banwave?

[SprayPlaster]

Guys, stop running the massive ****ing bot operations.

Stop afk botting for hours on end.

Stop spamming the ****ing AH full of ore you just spent 24 hours botting.

Tone this shit the **** down or Blizzard is going to go on a banwave and players are going to go apeshit with the bot reports.


Of course the shit is being detected, players are seeing you do it and reporting your asses. Its just a matter of when, not if, you will be reported by a player.

Botters know all the risk involved. The experienced ones will do what it takes to minimize those risks. QQing about this on a forum full of exploiters and botters won't make the situation any better, you're just gonna get mocked.

Yeah this article sucks. I still bot with HB but cautious as always, and have not been banned. There are various reasons why BOTTERS are being banned more often lately.

I run 3 accounts GB 24/7 everyday, the minute they ban me i have 3 new accounts ready.

How ever ive been doing this for 9months now and have yet to receive a ban.

I got warned once.

Ban Wave? maybe someday but not now!

sorry bud. as a former newsteam member I have never "flamed" a newsteam article in my life

but this article was extremely biased towards HB and GB.
The truth is that HB and GB were probably hit LESS than other major bots

there has been an increase in bot bans this week.. no banwave
people who remember the glider wave in march of 08? (I think) KNOW what a wave means

attacking GB and HB was a bit un-necessary... and you clearly pissed off bossland haha

but yes it is true.. be cautious now more than ever as something is clearly going on

Some of the "facts" in this article are questionable at best. I've been putting up 300+ auctions per day, which is really more than any human could possibly farmed for the past year. Nothing has happened so far, and by bot is running 24/7. Literally.

I have to agree with Seifer. I have been using SGather to farm thousands + auctions in the last week or two, and surprisingly, my 2 friends who have used no illegal bots/programs recieved 72 hr suspensions for suspicion of getting hacked and doing bad things (which they werent), while im scott free and breaking the rules lol. I've stopped gathering since that patch that came out yesterday, which seems to be updates to warden and other behind the scenes tools.
