    All of my bots keep getting banned for "Hacks" but aren't hacking?

    Hi. A few of my 90 druid farmers running lazy bot have been banned (they leveled using honorbuddy) for hacks.. When i've tried to dispute it, blizzard explicitly said they were banned for teleportation, flying, or moving through the games boundaries unnaturally. I haven't used any hacks on them, ever, and am curious how to avoid this ban.

    I've only ran him at most 15-17 hours a day, usually less, and monitored for about 8 of those hours. Also, i'm using a custom profile that is in a relatively low population zone, at non-peak hours (very late / very early)


    help please, thanks.

    It is still a bot ban regardless of what they say it is. You cant avoid it unless you stop botting all together.

    ah, interesting.. I was under the impression bot bans were only 3rd party program / exploitative activity. thanks.

    however..

    I was under the impression that lazybot very rarely banned? It feels like an autoban, as its been mailing all of the stuff to my other account, which hasn't been banned.

    Doesnt matter what bot you use at the moment, blizzard are watching farmers/levelers/BGers very closely right now.

    Got couple of my bots banned recently as well with hacks as the reason even though I don't use any hacks, so I'm being very careful at the moment. If you use public profile, you will get flagged as someone mentioned that Bliz is tracking the amount of times you hit the same nodes. Also, if your bot doesn't do any dungeons, questing, dailies, or anything else but just farm herbs/ores, Bliz will know that you're botting so right now I'm doing a dungeon or two a day to not get flagged.

    Bans mostly have to do with people's reports, and given the amounts of bots in wow at this moment, even 1 report from a player is looked into.
    Innocent people also get affected by this, though easily settled by calling blizz support. For example, 2 days ago I just logged in to kill one of the alliance rares that drop brawler's guild invitation, and a complete retard started whispering me that I'm a bot and I completely seem like a bot ( because I knew how to avoid DIsha's aoe damage lol )
