Pirox banwave Confirmed

[Gothicalchemy]

Piroxbot Archaeology is currently getting slammed by Blizzard. So far on the Pirox forums, over 14 pages of posts have been made in the last hour about people getting banned.

The below quote is from the Pirox admin's themselves!

pvpTool Archa banwave! Please Read!

Archa in pvpTool is detected!
Please stop using pvpTool until we analized the ban reports to tell you what is safe and what not!

Stop using archaeology in pvpTool. It seems that sending the info to the got finally detected and gets your account banned. This is the first ban wave that hits pvpTool. I don't know since when they flagged the accounts. Only 1 of my 3 accounts got banned and i used it with all 3.
Archa is atm disabled for purchase until we find a way around this.

You get a security warning in pvpTool

We are sorry for your loss


/edit #1
Q: Can we still use pvpTool for gathering?
A: As far as i can see, only archa is affected by this and you should be safe to use pvpTool's other features like pvp, leveling or gathering.

Q: Do you make a new archa bot?
A: Sending the info to chat was atm the only way to get the archa locations. Other bots instead use lua_dostring injection. pvpTool will never use injection because this raise the risk of a ban. If we find a new safe way to get the data, maybe through the bot addon, we will update the bot and the lost time you could not use archa will get credited!

Bleargh..... another sad day for botters :#

It is to be expected. We've been using and perfecting gatherbots since vanilla, but archeology is new. Anyone who used one should have been prepared for it. Give it about six months, then we'll be running more secure archeology bots.

Yer I lost 3 accounts myself. Figured that if I put it out there though, maybe I can save someone elses account >.<

Yes, it's a customer-only forum section, I lost my main (and only) account due to this. No more dumb questions from me anymore hehe

What is the magnitude of this banwave?.. 500-700 users banned?

[jazerix]

500-700 sounds like a fair bet indeed :/

[2dgreengiant]

Banwave does not = 500-700 ppl :P
