I !@#$%^ Up...

[Obrien28]

As my title admits... I ****ed up.

I didnt take things seriously and botted a public profile 24/7. A Paladin on my realm whispered me today;

"having fun botting?"

I simply responded a few minutes later; "Sorry, I had my little brother running around, I told him not to respond to anyone" I couldn't think of a better excuse, I was sure he was on to me.

"haha yeah ok. Lies i was frapsing your movements for a good hour and its not your brother playing your account" "i reported u yest just to let you know." "because your bots bags were full and i followed you and picked up what your bot wasnt taking" "sorta funny but i caught you" "but let me guess your using sgather" he answered.

I responded "Nah, I'm not botting. You can report me as you wish. Your the first person I've encountered to accuse me of botting. I am not worried."

"ok we will see when they see the videos i took of your sudden turns
and glitching when you cant get to a node" he answered.

"We'll see" I responded.

Its quite obvious he caught me...

All I can do is hope Blizzard will overlook my report; or give me a 72 hour ban.

I don't want to stop botting. I want to start botting safely. I was wondering what some precautions professional botters use to avoid being banned?

I'm going to being creating/buying private profiles; as well as invest in GB/HB. What else can I do to ensure this wont happen again?

He said you were using SGather, he clearly bots himself.

Just don't bot for a while and don't bot 24/7

[Obrien28]

He said you were using SGather, he clearly bots himself.

I'm positive he does.

• He had <Away> tags during our conversation.
• Knew what SGather was.
• For the minute I saw him, he was running into a wall.

Most professional botters bot 24/7; how do they go undetected?

I'm pretty sure you won't get banned unless you get caught in action by a GM, since a GM ticket usually takes a few hours to respond and if you're offline by then (or not botting) the GM has nothing to investigate.

Feels nice eh, getting backstabbed by your own comunity

I hope so. I'm glad this happened anyhow, I needed someone to bring me back to reality. Botting 24/7 on a public profile couldn't have been to smart.

Nothing feels better =P I hope the piece of shit sees this post. He's lucky I'm not low enough to report him back.

Pfft, I do that all the time on all of my characters.

On a public profile?

Yes, leveling 1-85, gathering (sholazar/storm peaks in wotlk, twilight highlands/uldum in cata) all public profiles.

best option i see is report him for botting even if he isnt. blizzard will look at both and assume u guys are mad at each other and just not do anything. if he knows what the bot name is he goes to mmowned and you can just say you are reporting him and see what happens rather than just letting him b an ass

Use proxy and bot using it. Then you can blame a virus and some one where using your account.
