Banwave

[fall0ut 10]

My wow account is currently inactive because I did not renew my subscription.  But according to reddit there was a banwave, and was curious if anyone around here was effected?

Hello,

WRobot is not affected by this banwave.

This banwave seem detect free rotations bots like Soapbox (don't use free of charge wow cheat/bot, it's all time risky).

i think its the punishing tanaan thing that will get you picked up if anything - alot of people are getting banned for botted Tanaan jungle farming.

[odg250 1]

Sounds good that Wrobot was not hit by the ban wave, But Honnorbuddy was, significantly! and that is not a small bot nor noobs in the area. So my guess it that it's just a matter of time for Wrobot. So to the Dev team, http://wiki.thebuddyforum.com/index.php?title=BosslandGmbH:HelpDesk:What_is_Tripwire%3F is this somethin you are aware of. I'd like some more detailed information from you on what you are looking into to prevent this.

theres a huge difference between Wrobot and Honorbuddy. Blizzard and HB has been locked in court battles and I think Blizzard devote a lot of resources in fighting that particular robot

[Soter 15]

well if blizzard has implemented a watcher or tripwire in wow to detect 3.party programs, i cannot see how that would be limmited to only HB- even if these kind of implementation is 100% against the law in many countries. I would be still be nice to get the Dev's comment on this, are they aware of this, what are the prevention for this.

a " This banwave seem detect free rotations bots like Soapbox (don't use free of charge wow cheat/bot, it's all time risky). " comment seems like the don't have a clue.

Hello,

About HB, sincerely, without the contents created by the HB community (profiles, fight classes, plugin, ...), HB is an very basic bot, the dev team take few days to release update after new wow update (I have never understand why, security is false pretext, you can see result...) (I work alone, it takes me a few hours for normal update, and we can begin to work on the PTR server for beings ready when build is released on live server). After the banwave a few months ago, HB team have reopened the bot without knowing exactly what had caused the banwave, current banwave is a logical continuation... This is not the first fault, I was already here at the time where bossland began to writte bot with GatherBuddy, after few months it had already taken a banwave (because poorly coded). Even the banwave dating from there are 1 or 2 years old could be avoid because they had was warned that bliz had added a detection method.

About WRobot I have worked hard to make wrobot hard to detect (it is more easy to detect HB that WRobot (If any have knowbase he can test)), I use a special technique that I have not seen on another bots to hide WRobot in memory. I know what I'm doing (if I worked among bliz, the  bots would have disappeared ^^). I cannot say that WRobot is undetectable (all is detectable), but I work to avoid it, and I think WRobot is among the most secure bots.

ps: Sorry for my English.
