Interesting they waited so long to do the banwave, especially when there isn't a public outcry against bots right now. And why do it before the release of the new expo?
As long as you didn't do 24/7 you should be able to get it downgraded after enough complaining. It's a fucking unity game, there isn't any hack detection or warden implemented. The only metrics they have is reports and how much you've been playing. Look at the rate they've been been banning, they have to ban each account by hand. And the HS team has banned the wrong people by accident in the past, because they do it by hand.
Right before Legion released for WoW they banned a ton of people for botting, and they issued permanent bans. But because everyone had preordered Legion they had to downgrade everyone to 6 month bans, because they complained a lot. Somebody really screwed the pooch on this banwave.
edit: especially for you EU guys, GDPR requires them to disclose all information they have stored about you, and that includes the exact reasons they issued you a ban. Don't give up and keep pestering, they really messed up with this banwave.
How do you know they don't have any hack detection or warden?
I botted around 4-8 games about once a week for the past 3 months, frequently skipping many days because I was too tired of the game to even bot. If I got banned for that, then botting anywhere close to 100g per day is unsafe. The bot does somewhat play in an unnatural manner, but there's no way I was detected for too much playing.
Blizzard changed their EULA to state that they now scan processes outside of the game, and JoyAdmin didn't even say if he did anything about that, and the bot still doesn't randomize the exe name.
My bet is that this bot is 100% detected.
