[Diary] the death of a bot

[Thelovefool]

Hello together,
as it seems i dont have the time anymore to care about my wow account i will start a funny project and share the progress with everyone.

So what will this thread contain?
I will bot my 80 shadowpriest 24/7 all the time in the same location until it will be banned. I think this is one of the first project which will show how long you can bot on the same spot without getting problems with blizzard or other players.
Through the whole progress i will use a bot developed by a private community so i can excluse getting banned duo to memory writes or injection.
The bot itself uses ppather and custom classes to navigate through world of warcraft.
My Shadowpriest is located on an eu realm and has the following stats:
3200 spellpower, 600 haste, 17% crit
The bot will always grind at a spot in Zul'Drak.

After this wall of text i will always write down how long i bot and how long the bot pause between. Also i will provide Screenshots and maybe a short video footage to show important things. To catch the right times i will use a software based stopwatch.


Botting Progress

until now i botted 50 hours straight without breaks
through this time i didnt had any follower or people who noticed or followed me
there were only two players who also grinded for an hour
in the whole time i could earn 5700 Gold so far

and again 24 hours passed by
Still nothing happened. No one whispered me or tryed to kill the bot.

after a short break for the health of my pc i started the bot for the next 24 hours
a friend of mine just whispered me with a twink telling he would report me :P. What should i say .. he tried to fear me but he failed hard. Just botting on atm.

Interesting, will follow!

lolkeypressbot??

neat idea. although it will be pretty easy to predict when you will be banned depending on the area you are at.

[Trollblod]

Good luck, but I guess you will come back sooner or later and whine about being banned! Just so you think before you handle.

[Thelovefool]

I know what i do but thanks
to be honest i wont cry about a game :P

[Stuuut]

i think it you can go on for weeks.....
EU doesn't ban quick and as long as the bot doesn't act stupid look stupid like running into walls or lampposts n stuff nobody will notice. But hey we will see
Goodluck

I'll be looking at this thread.

Sorry dude if you are expecting a fast ban you wont get one :S I have been boting for around 40 weeks still no ban.

Exactly bans only come from player reports or really crappy bots.

Yep player reports that the only way to get one is if you bot 24/7 in like a small circle that people do daily's,even then you may get unnoticed for 1-2 weeks.
If you make a path in some not so visited place or a really long path,going to 1-2 zones for 1-2 hours its 90% that no one will notice.
Even player reports are not so scary i had a player report me 11 or more weeks i took it casual doing instance,q between botting.. still safe :P no ban.
Maybe a ban wave will show how right i am (think).
ou
P.S. Many players will remove there ticket if you contact them in reasonable time like 1 hour after they /w you
and tell them so lie about your brother not knowing english playing or something.
Note: Never admit that you bot to a player. Lie like a mobster (LOL) and you will convince them.( I once turn the conversation in such a way that the dude was afraid that i will report him for harassment lol)

Interesting project! Will follow your progress. Amazes me though how many people seem to have "private" bots. Where the hell do these bots come from
