It seems there is one now.” In fact, Bossland all but admits defeat: “For now we closed our Honorbuddy Authentication, when we know any more details we will inform you.”

“With Honorbuddy you thought that we are unbeatable, we never thought that, we've succeeded since 2010 - Honorbuddy had not a single software detection. The creator said in a blog post, screenshot below: Creator Bossland cited the court ruling against Blizzard in Hamburg, Germany, in 2010 as a suitable reason to feel that they could keep business going as usual. At that point, it seemed as if Blizzard wasn’t going to do anything about it, and even the creators of the bot program were feeling untouchable. The most recent bot in WoW has been operating for five years. So clearly, any other bot that takes over the action of your character would be found in the same violation.

The court cited that because Glider circumvented the warden program that protected the “end-user experience” that it was infringing on Blizzard’s copyright of that experience. The bot was found to not only break the terms of service, but it also broke copyright law. In 2009, the creators of the bot called Glider was shut down and subsequently sued for $7M. Breaking a game’s terms of service can result in some very bad news for you and your pocketbook.
