First what is a Honor Bot? Simply put it is a small third party program that will queue your character into the battlegrounds and once in prevent you from going AFK or ‘away from keyboard‘. This allows you to leech or gain honor and tokens from the battleground without having to do anything or even be at your computer. Now using a bot to do this is very different from the players who are at their computers but just choose not to participate in the battleground. Nothing in the Warcraft policy states you have to actively participate although this is generally frowned upon and will earn you a bad reputation in Wow.

Second can using a Honor Bot get you banned? Yes! Using a bot program of any type can get your account banned. Blizzard uses several steps for investigating this and a lot of the time it takes weeks before any action is taken. Due to the length of time it takes them to make a determination a lot of players feel the risk is justified. But be warned Blizzard might seem like they take forever to do anything but then all at once they will ban thousands of accounts at one time. Many players get caught up thinking they are getting by with using a bot then only to try and log in months after they have stopped using the bot to find their account banned permanently.

Third are Honor Bot programs safe to use? Everyday on forums everywhere you read about players getting their accounts hacked. One of the biggest ways this happens is thru third party programs that steal your information. Many bot programs actually ask for you to insert your user name and password! Never do this! There are several mouse click programs or different programmable game pads that take a little work to set up but are much safer to use.

Personally I have found that I can make more honor by actively participating in the battleground. Since the inception of the AFK reporting system that allows other players to mark you AFK and prevent you from getting honor using a bot has become less desirable. And trust me there are plenty of legitimate tips and secrets to maxing your honor in the battlegrounds without risking getting your account banned! Plus the enjoyment of actually playing! Have fun and watch your back in the battlegrounds, you never know when it will pop up.
