WoW May 2008 Banwave Info

[iamyour41]

It seems after doing a little research, they slipped in the detection to patch 2.4.2.

On Warden: May 20th ban wave: WoW 2.4.2

As described there.

However, the programmers for Glider and ISXWarden both missed it and did not update their software as such to avoid detection before giving the "okay."

IS Mods.com :: View topic - ISXWarden Release Thread - 2008-05-20 - ISXDK 30

It seems that ISXWarden has released a patch that makes it undetectable once again.

The Glider devs have yet to release anything as to how it was detected, what they are doing to make it undetectable once again, or when it will be released.

Seems like Bliz pulled a fast one on us all. twocents

EDIT:

<Lax> there will be a new ISXWarden.
<Lax> it's being investigated
<Lax> it's not Warden

Lax has changed the topic to: ISXWoW 2.4.2-2 posted :: Ban wave today, investigation in progress. Not all accounts are banned. ISXWarden update expected no later than tomorrow.

<Lax_> they didnt update Warden, which is why tripwire and isxwarden think everything is business as usual

<Lax_> theyre attempting sneakiness atm

<Lax_> well it's caught now

<Lax_> they snuck it in 2.4.2, it's not warden

<Lax> theres no thinking necessary here guys, there is no debate about the problem

--- Lax has changed the topic to: ISXWoW 2.4.2-2 posted :: ISXWarden 2.4.2-2 posted 5/20/2008 :: Ban wave today. Not all accounts are banned. Detection method presently disabled at time of topic update.

<Lax> styles: the day you have a complete understanding of Warden .. well that wont happen so why start now

<Lax> yes they could re-enable it. ISXWarden 2.4.2-2 prevents the detection though.

<styles> Lax, so you can't see whats going on because they disabled it.

<Lax> styles: partially correct

<Lax> however, if you use ISXWarden 2.4.2-2 and you get unexpected behaviors, then if you report the unexpected behavior message, i can take care of the problem

<Lax> they could have had it turned on and detecting people ever since the 2.4.2 patch
and they disabled it today

<Kevin> if I haven't been banned yet do you think its still coming? (only botted yesterday out of last 2 weeks)
<Lax> Kevin: theres no telling.

<Lax> Tsukasa: yes the new isxwarden should keep your account safe
otherwise i would not have posted it

<stealthy> eqjoe: I'm just curious as to if this is related to what someone disassembling WoW saw on the PTR a while ago
<Lax> stealthy: whoever it was didnt think to mention it to me though
<Lax> stealthy: i dont see it in my logs
<Lax_> unfortunately for Merc, Glider's going to be out of service a bit longer than ISXWarden

<Lax_> glider can only be immune to KNOWN detections

<Lax_> ISXWarden provides certain protection from unknown detections

+rep to Blizzard <3

Many thousand members are almost crying because they lost everything and you guys love blizzard? i'm not getting this. :S

[Druidmoonkinkk]

I think its the fact that there was no news about the update coming out, thus caught everyone off guard. It has some people smiling and others crying about being banned. Those who use bot programs and got away with it are laughing right now.

Thus the +rep to Blizzard?

I dunno :/

At the end of the day if people use these bots to farm when come on its not exactly hard to farm gold anymore, its there own fault.

Blizzard have stated many, many times that if you use it and get caught then you out of the game for good.

lol i got banned lost 4x70 full pvp gear s1/s3 and a few lvl 60+, but annoyed but hell blizzard pulled a fast one on everyone, gotta give them credit for finially detecting it

strange timing though given AoC is only out, prehaps they are trying to shed the unwanted by pissing them off enough they leave, also the sheer number of people, wow-europe has been unaccessable for 24 hours, and mmoglider has just recovered

the greatest trick the devil every played was convincing the world warden couldnt detect

I got 4 of my accounts + my cousin's account banned, and i can say that blizz hasn't heard the last of me, when this shit is over I'll be back to botting 24/7 <3

A lot of people that bot make more money off bliz than bliz makes off of them. If they are smart that is..

Yes, that's why I will continue to bot

[Remus]

and doing the same thing that got you banned is stupid too.. o look i just burned my hand casue i was playing with fire... lets do it again.

yes it sucks we got banned. get over it; we wanted to take the easier route and now we pay for it. we knowingly broke the contract we agreed to when we open wow on patch days.

quit your QQ. if you bot again well your just asking for your hand to be burned again.
yes it is highly suspicious it was the patch. we know. we know. we know. go buy the game again if your that addicted, but. why buy it when all your going to do is bot and get banned? its retarded, i love botting i dont have to spend my free time to sit in front of my computer. sure we want the easy route to 70. so do it legitly so yuo wont get banned, gather up some friends(assuming you have any) and get run throughs.

i personally leveled my toon 1-70 by hand.. i botted for gold cause i had to do studies. do i care my acc is banned. sure when it happened.. then i took a step back and realized. its my fault, i could have gotten those mats for the primal mooncloth belt. but i decided to bot the mats. and in turn i get what i deserve. quit your QQ.

I'm not QQing... you must be confused. My post was to inform people of why it happened and that the issues are being fixed.

I will go out and buy a couple copies of WoW and bot again. Why? Because I can easily get a bunch of toons to 70 and be farming out gold within 2 weeks. Lets see how my last project worked out..

Bought 2 copies of WoW, $90. Farmed over 10k a week making $200 a week at 70. So, in two weeks of doing absolutely no work I made $110.

Considering I had them running for over 3 months before I got them banned (still have some safe accounts ready to be farming when it is given the okay), I think it's pretty good considering I am a college student and would rather spend my time with fiance and friends than working.

Seems to me like you are the one doing all the QQ. I on the other hand, have no regrets about those 2 accounts being sacrifical lambs.
