Any idea if your VPN's detected by maxminds high-risk/fraud/anonymizer detection?

Try with residential IP if you can acquire one.

It's definitely detected on Netherwing (TBC) and on Lightshope (vanilla) it got detected around the exact same time. Meaning they got the same warden update, which makes sense because they teams are on good terms.
Edit: To clarify, Netherwing (TBC) bans in waves. Roughly once a month. I used 2 test accounts to figure this out. 

Can you guys try renaming wRobot.exe to chrome.exe or just something else random like spotify and see if you still get banned?

Been trying to get banned on LH for some time now (with some success ?), I can safely say that on Lights hope is not detected by warden, or the -bphook works.

I haven't renamed my .exe for this round of bans, was going to try it when I actually get banned next time.

I am at this point, pretty confident that these bans are on LH are based on reports, GM's being more active or they have figured out some pattern that they can scan from their DB. I'm strictly questing, and from that perspective, my character looks pretty legit, no extra mob grinding - just the questing part.

I've been keeping the thread below updated on my findings and good guesses.

Just updating the status of this experiment, 2 weeks of 24/7 botting, still no ban on LH.

Updating this - 3 weeks mark will be reached 2 days, account still not banned for some reason..

Talking about Northdale.

my chars got banned and I didn't use any questing profiles, I just turned the bot on to not afk or go to the character selection window. it's not a profile that gets detected, it's something about the bot client.  So if you turn the bot on you are automatically flagged 

 

Can we have a bit more information:

What product did you use if not questing profile/grinding, automation?

Or did you turn on the bot just at the character selection screen?

Anything you could think of why players would report you?

whats more funny is that, they dont disconnect you from the server, if you dont logout you can still play, but if you do your done

This was what happened to me on LH on the very first ban as well, but not on the second.

I don't think it's detected either, or the -bphook flag works.

 

One week of nearly 24/7 botting again ( ~22h/day is my realistic estimate ) - and I am pretty sure I was reported for being stuck in OG for hours.

Will keep you guys posted, I don't expect this account to last much longer, but we'll see.

Not sure if that would help, I think they would get wise pretty fast.

Started new account, this time -bphook from the very beginning. I'll report back in a week!

Hello,
I do not think the bot is detected.
Create an account with a new IP, a new web browser and change the name of your Windows session, remove also wow cache (and don't download wow client on server website).
Use another profile (a not-popular profile), another fightclass (a simple one) and avoid plugins, I'm sure your account will be not banned.

If you bot on several accounts, don't register account with same ip/webbrowser, and try to run one account per windows install and ip (at the same time).

I don't think it's detected either, or the -bphook flag works.

thats something that could help. sad part is no way to detect if a GM is invisible or not. if someway we able to find a way, we can always use a pause bot if a GM is around. to make it think we are afk instead of we are botting.

Anyway you got that level 13 toon name?

Sadly, I was too distracted to catch what the name was, or what class he was on, just the level. ?

Well just banned again after a good solid week of botting ?.

I saw a level 13 character run past me just as I got banned in a higher level area where he shouldn't be, so I'm pretty certain this was a manual ban.

Botted 3 characters (tauren, undead and a troll) with 100% questing only, bot was up almost 24h/day ( ~i'd say averaging at 23h).

Time to roll on ally and see how it goes there!

the -bphook causes some random crashes to the wow client, not very frequently.

Logs don't have any indication on why this happens, wrobot seems to crash before the wow.exe, or it at least throws the crash error before wow's crash dump pops up.

Got banned 2 days ago on lightshope and re-created new account, been botting on that new account northdale for almost 48h now, just turned on that no edit memory,

How fast do these bans normally come on lightshope-northdale guys?

Edit:

Also, could you guys post what area you had been botting/what kind of bots (grinding, gathering, questing?) on before the ban happened?
