[Planetside 2] Cert farming guide ( 300-500 certs per hour)

[Artii]

Hey all,

I actually figured this out myself, been using it for at least a week, with several accounts. Wanted to look around and see if other people were doing it (it's so simple I'd be surprised if I was the only one :P)

What I'm wondering about is if anyone here got banned for it. I just see one person saying he was. I'm inclined to believe either he may have been banned for some other exploit perhaps? Because I farmed at least 6000-7000 (double that if you count the certs gained with the slave accounts) with this method. I even left the computers open overnight one day, and it ran for 12 hours straight.

Batch, what kind of setup were you using? one engineer, one medic, two victims?

There are 7 pages of responses, and only one person got banned for this? Doesn't seem likely. What do you guys think?

When they ban they check your stats. Anything which is over humanly possible will be banned. But aslong as you do it in a barren area and don't get reported then you are fine.

I'm actually sure this is the only method they have against players who do this. Either you're witnessed doing this method or someone manages to get hold of your player stats through Planetside Universe (or some other 3rd party website) and reports you. I haven't done the automated process yet and still do a bulk of the labor manually by alt-tabbing and what not, perhaps I'll automate much of the work next time around and report any bans I receive. As of right now, out of the 8 players I know that have done this method, none of us have accused.

Any EU players want to farm? I have an upgraded medic. PM me

second account got banned last night. had just under 4k certs with 3 days playtime

how are you guys not getting caught?

first day i got to level 10 and limited myself to 5 levels per day.

also im not using any other exploits.

[magmia]

could anyone make an autoit script for this? or how are you automating it? i have no idea how to properly make an au3 script, been trying for like 2 hours lol.

Perhaps you could shed some light on how you're going about your method? Are you picking a desolate location? Monitoring your surroundings? High populated server perhaps?

mallory eu anyone want to farm?

I got 2 accounts banned on Jaeger server after only 4 hours or so. Automated with autoit script. 1 killer 1 dummy banned, the medic was not banned.

Server is Jaeger. Always in a desolate location. Not using any macros, I have 3 copies of the game open on one machine. Constantly watching minimap on both my main and and alt. Also varying the class of the person I am killing in order to keep my individual class stats consistent with people who do not do this. At most 300 kills per sesssion with 1 or 2 sessions per day.

That is very strange. Curious, did you have any other accounts that were banned as collateral damage, because they were logged into from the same machine at some point?

For instance, in order to not risk my current accounts getting banned, I'm thinking of creating a new account using a different email, and leaving that running overnight. I heard they ban by IP (which is easy enough to overcome) and possibly ban by Hardware ID (which I heard can be overcome as well). I'm worried they may also extend the ban to all accounts that were logged into from your machine.

And just to be sure - this was a permaban? What was the email like? Did it state the reason? Just curious. "We detected you were killing people too fast" doesn't seem like a good excuse for a permaban to me. Perhaps you were aiming for the head, and they thought you were using an aimbot because your headshot % was very high?

Or perhaps they have something going on at Jaeger. I don't play there.

Hey guys

I've also been banned using this method within a few hours.
I've contacted the support and the ban is permanent.
I highly recommend to not use this.

Keep in my mind I was doing it in a desolate location and using an auto macro program to simulate clicks and stuff. so I might have been reported anyway.
I wasn't doing headshots
Support has clearly stated I've been banned for boosting, the 3 accounts got banned.

Hey guys, I have programmed an Autoit script and have the process automated.
You can find the code below but it needs some testing and adjustment for it to work for your situation.

If you don't know how to use the code you need to download the Autoit editor and the main program,
put the code below to the editor and save it as .au3 (default) file then use the Autoit to run it.
For the code to work you need to get the handle of the windows of each role, i.e. killer, victim and medic.
You can use the "Autoit Window Info" program to get a string like this: "Handle 0x000000000016046C"
Alter the code with the strings once you get it.

Instruction:
You must be able to have 3 games running in windowed mode - a medic and a victim on the same faction,
and a killer on a different faction. For the code to run smoothly your killer needs to be a engineer,
have its mini-turret set up and point right to the victim's head. And you need to have the medic point right
to the victim. When it's all set up, kill the victim then revive him but DON'T PRESS THE ACCPET.
Now get the position (x, y) of the accept button and alter the code. You can also get the position using the Autoit Window Info.

I haven't been banned yet after using it for like a day, but there's no guarantee, use it at your own risk.

Happy farming!

Wow! Great work mate and thanks for sharing! I'm not tested this out but i'm sure it works. +rep
