Some botter posted on the EU forums that he got banned.

So he logged on with his mates account to see if anything was wrong and... his mate got banned.

So he logged on with his brother's account...

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

I actually cried at that one. And not in a bad way
To quote Larry Niven, "It's evolution in action".

Yeah, it's ironic in the extreme that while we get accused of selling accounts and selling gold, yet the botters, a lot of whom seem to be T5/T6 raiders, are the guilty ones. Can you say "projection"? LOL. I'm wondering how much of an effect this will have on the raider's tears in the forums, as I'm seeing a LOT of raiders saying they were banned, or their main tank was banned. That would be the ultimate justice, if a lot of those "Welfare Epics" crybabies got banned for being cheaters. "Hey maaaan, I'm too busy to raid AND farm, it's not cheating, it's Blizzard's fault for not handing me money for being so special."

Seriously, a kid posted yesterday that his brother had 6 accounts he was botting with to sell gold and accounts. But NOOOOOO, we're the bad guys. Why? Because for all of their botting and cheating, they still get WTFPWNED by 5 man teams in BGs.


It seems someone at Blizzard woke up earlier this year and realized how infested with cheaters and spammers and exploiters the game had gotten. Thank google!

I grabbed this from one of the botter forums. Don't know if it's true, the EU forums keep stalling out on me here in CA, maybe they're a little busy today...ahem...if true, this is epic, it's a realm side AI flagging them:


1. This ban wave is the biggest one in history and it's not over yet.
2. It's not the WARDEN or PRELCH detection
3. 99% of botters are gaining xp only from killing monsters. No logged quests AT ALL (excluding some class qs). NO DUNGEON instances recorded on realm AT ALL. No quest/dungeon drop gear - only BoE. Boar named boar, cat named cat, 85% boted druids have no aquatic form, etc. Over 90% botters are guild less. Realm side pretty-smart AI scripts flag such an account for manual investigation in 90% cases. The 10% are player reports.
4. Manual investigation can be veeeeery long. You can be flagged for ban 3-4 months before next planned ban weave.
5. We ban you in waves - yes. It's just our policy. Incidental bans are ALWAYS because of intensive and multiple GM tickets OR intensive realm economy exploitation.

Don't focus on client-side detection, while most boting signs are noticed by realm-side AI scripts Custom classes won't help you at all.

WE KNOW YOU ARE BOTING AFTER ONE SECOND, BECAUSE OF GLIDER ABNORMAL LOOT STYLE DETECTED BY REALM SIDE SCRIPT FOR AGES

Custom classes doesn't help you at all being more human like. And PPather makes manual detection MUCH easier

All GMs and SSs have a great time reading "We know how to become undetected" posts here.

Well, since it's not software detection related, many of you can survive if were not flagged for investigation Till the next time
