You talk like getting banned on Windows is some new phenomenon. People have been getting banned on Windows since back in the HonorBuddy days; nothing has really changed. I think the main difference is the quality of the products being offered versus the amount of money they need to spend to try to turn a profit.
Maybe it's time to rethink your game plan.

Let me add a bit more to this. I really want people to see the basic math behind all of this.
Suppose Bob from Eastern Europe wants to set up a 10-session gold farming operation, but Bob doesn't have much money.
Ten Wow accounts at roughly $30 each will cost Bob about $300, then Bob has to get a Monthly Subscription on each one of those accounts, which is another $15+ per account x10, which is $150
Next, Bob needs an Unlocker, which costs $20 plus an additional $ 10 per session for 30 days. That's another $110.
Then, Bob might need something like Baneto, which is a 10-session package costing 150 euros for 30 days.
He'll also need custom profiles since most public ones are likely detected, adding more expenses to pay a profile developer to make him even have a chance to get any type of longevity out of these accounts.
So, to get started, Bob needs over $500 just to run 10 sessions. This doesn't include the costs of buying computers, paying for electricity, the time spent learning how to use all these tools, or the risk of losing accounts every two weeks because ingame heuristics are just that good.
Let's also remember Bob isn't a pro at this right out of the gate. Bob needs to learn, so mistakes will be made, losses will likely be made, and accounts will surely also get banned as a result of not knowing what he is doing. Poor Bob will have to sell his kidneys to feed his babies.
Maybe, just maybe, the reason user numbers are dropping isn't because people don't want to bot, but because it simply isn't worth the price of admission. The fact that Baneto costs more than the actual unlocker is questionable. Everything is just to damn expensive in the farm bot scene. You guys priced yourselves out of customers.
