We must say that we have no idea what really happened and all we have are speculations.

In the case of World of Warcraft, its primarily focused on Player-Versus-Player (PVP) content, automatically farming honor and other PVP currencies while the player is away.

While it is also capable of numerous other currency and material gathering tasks, bots and AFK (Away-From-Keyboard) players have always been a significant problem in World of Warcrafts PVP sub-game.

We have to dispute this; there has never been that many active Honorbuddy users.

We are still unaware if this was a real detection or some shady malware that was injected into everyones computer for a short period of time.

Bossland recently won against Blizzard in a court of appeal in Germany (according to Nosy Gamer ).

Blizzard responded by banning World of Warcraft players who were using their bot.

This virtual turf war between Blizzard and Bossland looks like it will be continuing indefinitely, with innocent World of Warcraft players caught in the middle.

We are not sure, but looking at the BAN THREADS, we think that its the most likely option at the moment.

You ask yourself what happens next For now we closed our Honorbuddy Authentication, when we know any more details we will inform you.

Teams of individuals moved in precise unison across the terrain, never attacking anyone else, each character individually under a bots control.

They shouldnt be breaking rules, and should learn to play themselves.
