.....

"Several thousand" Hearthstoners using third-party software have already been banned.

In Hearthstone's latest blog post Blizzard revealed that players who are caught using a third-party software to artificially play Hearthstone while AFK will be banned until 2015.

"We've recently banned several thousand Hearthstone accounts that were associated with the use of third-party programs that automate gameplay, otherwise known as 'bots' or 'botting'," the blog post reads.

"These accounts will be banned until 2015. As we’ve stated, fair play is at the core of the Hearthstone experience, and cheating and botting will not be tolerated."

"We’re committed to creating a fun and rewarding environment for our players, and we will continue to closely monitor activities within Hearthstone and take appropriate action against cheating in any form, as outlined in our Terms of Use. From this point on, accounts found to be cheating will be permanently closed without warning."

Recently Blizzard revealed that Hearthstone will be making its way to iOS and Android smartphones.
