these guys makes money as long as you guys buy gold, that's how it works. Gold buyers are just as guilty as botters.
These guys literally make thousands of dollars each month thanks to it

you're factually wrong though. As a botter myself, I had all my gold and crafting items removed. Such is the same for EVERYONE that gets banned for botting.
I've always wondered do they just ban your account or the ip? I figure an account is a pretty band aid fix over an ip. Then again, I'm prolly not tech savvy enough to say ip is something they could do or even want to do. Does anyone actually know?
No it isn't. Pretty much any discussion about those things on not-sure-if-THAT-site-name-is-allowed-starts-with-O-ends-with-E I've seen is like this:
- New build have new function offsets, we can't hook in with old offsets any longer.
- Ok, loading debugger, will see where they are now.
[some hours later]
- Here they are the new ones, paste this into config.
Having bot user lose account and money paid for activation would be way more effective, but only if they'd act in a day or two after user starts their endless run on same routine or he'll simply earn more by selling that farmed gold.

I don't. I never said that either. I said you see a lot of those posts during the bot ban wave and they are amusing to read such as "I got banned but I'm innocent I swear". They are a dime a dozen on the official forums during a bot ban wave. And you regularly see a few here. Maybe there is a false positive but it's very unlikely. Maybe they do ban that odd account by accident and well the support base exists for that. If they don't give it back then the answer is right there.
Again I never assume guilty before innocence. I merely said you see a lot of those posts during the banwaves and some of them do make for a good chuckle because you can tell some people are trying too hard. If someone was banned accidentally then of course I hope they get their account back. If it was legitimate then deserved just like my first account was deserved.

Well I'm butthurt about that subject because I have legitimately been banned twice for botting, when I wasn't botting. I have two threads on the subject. The only thing we could narrow down was that the desktop app for TSM was getting me hit, but that didn't make any sense since other people use it just fine. I have been on a fresh system that has never even seen botting software for a year now, and several months ago I got hit twice. I'm currently serving out the second of two 6 month suspensions on my main account. I have no problems admitting I bot, and I never came here to complain about it when I got hit before, because they were legit bans. But not this time, and it just irritates me that people automatically assume anyone who gets hit for botting is automatically a botter and there is nothing that can be said otherwise.
I think you misinterpreted me a little. Of course I hope those unfairly banned get their accounts back. I could have worded it better admittedly. What I meant is false positives are just very unlikely these days but still possible. And all you can really do is contact support directly to get it sorted. I had it with GW2 before and I rang up the support and it was all fixed.
Btw even I've botted in Cata for Azshara's Veil and other stuff that sold well and got caught. I knew what I was doing and I still did it. I will happily sit here and admit it too. I haven't since then but the ban was well deserved.
I heard Blizzard doesn't ban anymore, they just suspend anyways. I think they have a massive amount of research (can't remember what they said accurately) that found that suspensions were better than bans since bans were typically resulting in the players just getting another account and doing it all over.

Feeding the invisible typewriter.
Anyway Blizzard always did very little overall against botting.
Personally I don't really get it either aside from potential financial motivation.
Even if we presume they seriously suck dick and warden is just a piece of trash very limited amounts of manual supervision could cut down bot numbers significantly. Same thing applies to the industry surrounding botting and other third party services.
Oh, so thats why my Tickets take so long; because somebody abuses the Ticket system for things that arent meant for it.
I've literally seen the same 4 or 5 bots on my server herbing and mining like crazy since 1 day of Legion. It's obvious that they are bots AND that they are cheating as well because I've seen them literally run up cliffs to get to nodes that are shear drops. I report em every time I run into them while I'm out farming, but blizz doesn't really care. It's impossible to prove to them that someone is a bot by just reporting them in tickets, finding out that a person is a bot can be a lot harder than you'd think. Sadly blizzards Warden program barely detects anything when it comes to people cheating in game anymore.
The chance of having a bot banned via manual reporting is very low. Unless the guy is botting during peak times in battlegrounds, where he can amass quite a few reports, single reports like yours won't be even looked at. They'll eventually get swept with the banwave.
Do some bot thing and see for your self i can guarantee you a topic here whining how blizz are not fair banning you for your fishing bot
It may be not today but will be
Warden isn't always active. Several of the better bots and hacks can tell when warden is scanning and won't even work when it is. And most of the new bots don't inject. The simulate keypresses and read memory, but dont inject. The biggest thing is most of them use click to move and it is very noticeable especially when the botters are running 40/100 accounts on one one system and that slows the background fps and makes the bot slower moving, and very jerky.
