It was not necessarily a "huge" banwave. Only around ~200 people got banned total I would say (this number includes other bots). I am still looking into why we were affected by this while making some other improvements in the meantime. I am not implying that 200 people is some insignificant number, just that across all of the different programs that seems strange.
I have removed a few options that were really outside of what I wanted to support anyways and randomizing macros and commands. Thanks again for the support and feedback from everyone.

I don't know if it's true, it's just theory
I know it's just a theory, but I find it false, in my opinion. Many addons allow to to cast without the spells being on your bar, for example: Healbot, Clique, Voodoo, etc. (Yes these are healing addons but still. Clique can be used for DPS) These are simply macro menus, and they don't bother with your actionbars as they call on the spells directly. I find it hard to believe that they can detect this. For instance, I can configure Clique to cast Arcane Shot whenever I left click an enemies unit frame.

Soap, I appreciate your continued support and looking into this, it shows a lot about you. I'd also like to add that many users (including myself) don't think those features should be in SBR anyways. If you need any help, let me know!

I was using a healing rotation the day of the "ban wave" and I wasn't affected. Literally a couple hours in. I only use Soap and nothing else. And yes this account was the same one that was banned for 6 months due to the HB ban wave.
Right about now im gonna go ahead and wager that, the other people were in fact using other bots along with Soap. How else can you explain me botting the day of the "ban wave" and not being hit even after having a history of using automation software?
After that 6 month hit, I just decided to stick to Soaps rotation bot. And everything is fine on my end.

I was playing my affliction bot rotation when a friend of mine dropped offline in the same raid, I know he uses soap and he knows about me. I didnt get banned myself. He informed me about the ban and at least he was honest about using another gathering bot well known since he is lazy to farm on hand. Well boting is boting and true that you should never bot on something you are not ready to lose but imo soapbox aint the main reason for ppl being banned. Yes you can blame your failure on soap without admiting the truth but that wouldnt change the fact.
I know players that uses soap rotation and like retards they manuelly have conversation while the dps aint droping, is this the soap mistake? hell no, the affliction rotation is by far a very good rotation but instead of letting bot do everything and you get bored you can always do free casts on some spells. you can macro to have focus target for example, cast drain soul manually on single target fights another example. You dont have to use the rotation where it is not needed, for example i mythic raid and i use the rotation to maintain 98% i never use it in dungeons, pvp. and here let me tells you why not pvp.
PvP you go and do some arenas with the bot you preform good but it is high risk to be reported for boting if u kill a player no matter if you are botting or not. you kill a guy you get reported. sometimes players sense it from the inturpt speed on caster. Chances you get reported is very high like in 10 arena matches you should guarantee a report.
PvE if you are killing a boss and using a rotation and have high or good numbers do you think your guild members will report you? in the end all wanna kill that boss. You shouldnt tell players that you are using the rotation because todays friend can turn the day after into enemies specially if they lose there raiding spot.
If you can preform without the bot that is great dont use it, if you want to use it and scared well i have 17k achievment point and i use it with lot of caution.
I still recommend Soap.

Hi all
I have read some of the posts on here and i can tell you for now i got banned in the 6 months and only put some money back on my account 2 weeks ago and joined a new server, thought to myself right no more botting with this account at all as it was my main.... Yes i have had other accounts but where i had 6 months off i did not really bother with my others as i wanted my main back. So like i said i put 60 day pre paid card on it and started leveling on a another server got bored and thought i would use the free 1-99 soap as i was bored and lazy lol. I was on it most of the day Tuesday only questing and running dungeons and in the evening i got a mail to say i was banned...... I only used Soap on it after the BAN nothing else at ALL and now i have lost my main and tbh my wow days are now over as i think blizz are not playing fair anymore
I thought I would write this and it is the truth I have no reason to tell lies about this i thought the soap rotation was a master class and sad i will never get to use it again but trust me it got my account banned as i used NOTHING else at all i was even wearing my TIN FOIL HAT when i was using it and they still got me :-(

It looks more like a bot when you get auto kick etc.
And when LUA scripts are used :/.
Hight risk to get banned? or does blizzard not care about things like this?
