They are just my hypotheses dictated by antibot monitoring in the new blizzard contract.
I do not use 3-day hearthranger because he asks me to accept the new PC contract and I wanted to wait to find out more

It seems interesting but I would expect the opinion of those who know more.

I don't think it will prevent Blizz from too much. Any piece of soft that reads Blizz apps' memory is under risk no matter how it's called. IMO as long as the majority of botters keeps low profile we're pretty safe. Who cares if I bot a bit on low ranks or casual without grinding on Legend?

I'd like to add that it won't hurt to make small purchases in game from time to time.

I bought the welcome pack and 40 bags last month although I have my doubts that the blizzard will be scrupulous for this

Of course, it's only a speculation. No one will ever tell you the details of botter identification process.

It's pretty much a true, IMO, but a player who started to bot won't spend much anyway, and they should understand it.

Look at me, for example. I live in Russia, in December 2014 we've got our national currency (ruble) pretty much f*cked up (don't know if strong language os allowed here) - it dropped its value towards other currencies by about 1,5 times: in September/October 2014 $1 costed about 40 rubles, in February 2015 it was already about 65 rubles for $1, fluctuating up to 120 rubles for $1 in currency exchange points in Decenber 2014. Not long after that in 2015 we've got rubles prices for Blizz stuff risen by about 30%. I understand that it's our local problem, capitalism is all about revenues and all that kind of sh*t, but they have already shown no loyalty to their customers who got their balls caught in a pretty hard situation since a lot of everyday stuff is imported into Russia from other countries (including food) and got its prices risen by at least 20%. Then in 2016 we've been told that 2017 will be a year of 3 expansions. And as an icing on a cake we've got booster prices risen by 20% along all other Europe. Blizz explained that it was done because european currencies had recently dropped their value down. In the meantime, ruble had already stabilized it's value on the previously mentioned 60 rubles for $1. It's pretty nice to know that we're still a part of Europe in Blizz eyes despite all the efforts our government does to quarrel with other civilized countries, but was it really necessary to rise the prices for the country which got its currency stabilized for the past two years?! So ask yourself: do I really want to give them any money at all?

If they ban me, so be it. I'll make 2 or 3 twink accounts and will start botting with them as much as I can playing Gwent in the meantime.

P.S. Anyone who read this text to this points - my respect! =)

The store's prices are really high also for me who live in Italy with the euro.
They will be 3/4 months botting and still are far from having all the useful cards that is my goal. Although there are about 50 bags a month that is so much.
I hope they improve the bot in the arena, the only way to enjoy without limits

I agree that if this bot could consistently get 7+ wins in arena it would be much easier to catch up to the paying players. Getting dust, a pack, and gold/card every 7 games (plus 10g every 3 wins) would be insane from a botting pov.

Where are you with the collection? How long have you got all the cards you can use in the target? Did you notice if bot use diminishes the ability to find legendary? Do you keep doing it for the golden collection or just because you like to open the envelopes?
