Any ETA on update?

problem is always the payment - if u use the same card or paypal time after time.
I dont think that matters. After the ban, I used the same payment, same computer, just different IP. Worked fine until the most recent ban.

As long as you aren't botting 24/7, you should be fine. My first account was botting pretty much 24/7 and lasted 2 weeks.

Second time around, I swapped accounts and botted 8 to 12 hours each. No issues. I changed up routes randomly.

I may setup a VPN this time around, though.

I thought that VPN were against ToS and Blizz would nab you for that as well?

I didn't use VPN, just another internet line. But they were banning for public VPNs in the past. Getting a dedicated private one should be fine
Well i kind of recall this vpn service getting banned that was boasting giving users a better connection for pvp and so on to have better latency, which would be a bit ironic to find from a vpn but it did work i am not sure what the service was called. But i would not be surprised if it was still around to say the least, there has been a few things that were grey area like this that blizz did not like. Such as the carbonite addon that served the user google ads in-game in their free version of their quest navigation addon.

The thing is most people see it as the viable option to bot 24/7 if they are going to bot they think they are risking it anyways, i suppose 10 hours on 14 hours off is always going to provide longevity.

is that even relevant though? i feel like people got banned jumping through hoops to hide it. seems like there were the two known ban waves, the most recent one and the MH one. i got hit on the MH wave, but only used jieguan.
seems like they gather up who they are going to ban and then do it in groups.

It will be new download for jieguan that has been in testing then should be released tonight or tomorrow. While nobody got banned using the zhipei dominate hack, it is still getting further security added.
Man, you better off to tell everyone one week from now so they stop asking. Lol.

There's two ways to get banned it seems: (1) getting your account flagged for suspicious patterns (botting 24/7, short game times, etc.) or (2) warden detecting injections/memory reads. #2 is more of the cat and mouse battle between Blizzard and the devs and an eventuality that should always be expected. So, do you fast burn an account up to try and recoup startup and key costs and whatever profits you might get in before warden catches on, or play it safe with less botting per day and hope that the banwave takes a bit longer to happen? That's always the problem.

I have been debating that for days lol

very good point actually. maybe they implement new detections/security checks as well?
could be worth waiting for the update and inspect further, even if its only serverside?
