Both of mine are ok, I assume this was in regards to the reddit thread about the very obvious secredins around rank 1-5 which I don't think we're coming from HR

A thread in their forum says no reports of bans yet and demonbuddy's ban forum is empty too. I'm starting to believe that every time their is outrage over bots in one of their games that they use smoke and mirrors to quiet everyone down. ie. they make a public relations announcement claiming to have banned way more bots than they actually did. I've seen it happen in several of their games where they say they banned massive amounts of bots but nearly every botter around doesn't get banned.

probably bans are delayed, wait a couple of days and see what happens, i bet my ass smartbot will be hit in this ban wave and i doubt it is a fake anouncement.

I've been using HearthRanger for about one month now (I'm a new player and I wanted to buy adventures faster and I found this forum) but now with these ban waves I am kinda scared. I'm not banned at the moment and I hope I never will get but just to ask some questions :D. Is it still safe to use the bot at the moment? Should I wait a while until I use it again? Can I go in now into farming casuals with the bot without a problem? Thanks.

Either Blizzard has a way to detect hearthranger or not.
If they have they will catch everyone that has botted after they could detect the bot.
If they cant you are save until they get a way to find out you are botting.
I think they cant detect the bot with a program they need a lot of people reporting you or you to do dumb botting (24/7 or something unusual)

You never now if you are save right now, you only know you were safe today in maybe 5 months :)

Doesn't seem to have affected anyone here. I heard high rank secret paladin players got banned though.

Haven't been botting too much lately myself (the past month at least) but I am good! Doesn't look like any known bots have been hit.

IMHO we are sitting safer than HearthBuddy right now being a smaller bot community. They have already experienced a ban wave and Blizzard knows (and is suing/sued) the Buddy bots. HearthRanger on the other hand is good for now it seems.

This is the problem, top of google, is very bad for us

Exactly. This site needs to shut down project "next gen", stop trying to get legend, and just enjoy the 100 gold you get from casual.
