If they knew that their method couldn't be shut down, why would they move their company to Germany?

I don't know, Glider was shut down and it was an American bot. Also Pirox bot got shut down but it's developers were from Germany I think.

I read somewhere Pirox didn't use the memory reading method the current bot(s) in question does, meaning Pirox interacted with the game in a different way.

Also I can't see how these suspensions (if follow/afk related) can be related to botting since they don't use the follow system, atleast not the ones I've seen in BGs recently?

Ok, i got my temp ban too.
I can't reproduce my ticket here because it's in french but i contested my ban, they reply that the suspension was not going to be removed.
I send an other ticket, asking for more information and the gm tell me that multiboxing is ok but it seems that one of my character was not participing activly in some battlegrounds.
The character who was ban was on a tank half-pve spec (i was thinking that keep one char to tank the boss was a nice move) so it's probable that he get a lot less HK than the others.
So maybe the auto-ban is a system using not only the afk report but the performance of the character.

Maybe that a character always on follow, with lot of report and bad hk ratio trigger a detection routine.

I've given up on boxing BGs. I don't want to lose my accounts. At some point I will get bored and cancel them all.

I dont think so, there will always be some people boxing or solo with less to 0 HK kils, depending what your doing in BG I guess.

What I find disturbing is boxers are getting suspended banned in BGS yet the tonne of bots are not.

WE had a guildie who raided with us in core raid and also was botting, 16 to 20 hrs per day literally, after raid, he would log off, and then log back on, and always never left dreadwastes it was brought up in vent if he is botting, due too the 16-20+ hrs per day in dreadwastes and never a word from him in guild chat, psts etc, other then verbally in vent on raid nights, he admitted he was botting, explained what he was using, what he was doing and did not care if he gets banned as it barely happens and been doing for x amount of time.

After raid, we had a discussion, problem was we are on a dead, small realm, person in question is a healer/dps os, you really cannot recruit anyone, so if we got rid of him, raid is over... numerous tickets were sent in by core raid members, weeks pass, he is still botting, one GM explains they usually mass ban bots, and this takes quite some time to do, occur, well wonderful, really... its an evil vicious cycle truely.

My partner had enough as had I, and we basically got rid of the shammy who was botting from the guild, which now leaves us with no raid for days, none for unknown period as we cannot pug fill or recruit lol.

So going to xfer our mains and a few others from core are coming with us, to a more populated realm, medium, not excessively high like we were on prior too raid.

My boxers will remain on the low pop realm, which I farm silver elites like there is no tomorrow and will with new ones in 5.2 but solo do heroic dungeons, best as I can... I wanted too BG come 5.2 but with these kind of threads I dont think I will bother either.

it just is disturbing too see this thread when botters in BGS, farm bots and whatever kind of bots are plagued and in mass forces and it takes forever for any to be banned and is mostly done in so called masses, which does no good as they are back a week later for months on end before the cycle occurs again, yet legit players, boxers cop a suspension in a BG.

Absolutely stupid.

[heyaz]

yeah I'd refrain from BGs for now. Too dangerous and I don't think GMs are sympathetic towards boxers.

Maybe Gms are that way, however it is wrong, and unfair, to legit multi-boxers/players, especially when they do near nothing against bots, who are the real problem... it makes no sense. Boxing is allowed, we have seen alot of blue posts on this, confirming time and time again over the years, yet botting of course and rightfully is against the rules, but who is being suspended here, bots or legit boxer ?

[heyaz]

Bots and people not participating, like watching tv and hitting jump, are getting hit as well. They aren't being sympathetic to muliboxers and I have some ideas as to why.

Anyone else think they'll explicitly ban multiboxing from Titan and this is them gearing up to that?

Recently, I've been taking a look at other online games.
In particular, the Free-to-Play games.

I could see myself spending a month or two, in Everquest.
Just to visit a world that I played in for six or seven years.

Not sure if I'd want to stay there or not.
It would depend on how the gameplay goes, and if the current suspensions for boxing in battlegrounds persists.

Then again, there are a lot of other games to experiment with too.

And there is finishing the RAF (two more phases) and leveling teams in Warcaft; but that has less appeal currently, due to the suspensions for boxing in what I'm primarily interested in... the large scale battleground pvp.
