Friend bots and sends me herbs/ores to sell. Risk of getting banned ?

[Placek1213]

Hey my friend is botting on his 7 day trial just to see how much can he earn in 7 days. He is too lazy to sell it though and we've got a deal that I'll sell stuff for him for a big share. I'm selling on my main account. How big risk of getting banned for me is it here ?

"my friend"

Yes "My friend". If I boted by myself i wouldn't ask about the risks.

Exactly this, they have no way of knowing it's not you. Plausible deniability doesn't work if you gain a significant advantage.

Well it's still completely different IP but i think You've got a point.

Edit: And still if a ban happened (hope not) do you think they would give me Perma just for earning 20-30k gold ?

most likely a 24hr ban max if you dont have been banned before for Goldbuying/or some mumbojumbo if you had several banns before, i dont see why you shouldnt get a perma :P

Yeah I'm completely clean when it comes to other suspensions that's why I've taken this risk now. We'll see.

I seriously doubt they'll do anything to you. I currently have 2 accounts which have different emails but same name(simply because if I got banned on the alt account my main wouldn't get banned)
On the 2nd account I have a lvl 90 mage with herb and mining, that I have about 15 days ''played'' back when I used to sell stuff on the AH. I remember back in Decemember I got perma banned for botting 48 hours non-stop, after an appeal and a convincing email that I had no clue what I was doing or that botting was illegal I got unbanned.
So no, if I got perma banned on my 2nd account and my main wasn't even touched or warned even though I share exactly the same name, I highly doubt you'll get banned if your friend is mailing you ores constantly. I believe that worst case scenario they would remove said herbs/ores from your main account.
nah jk you'll get perma banned noob

Why dont you just say 'I am farming ores on my botting account and sending to my main' ?

Because if i was doing that i would know the risks and wouldn't ask stupid questions that have been asked hundreds of times.

[iwaxuss]

I get economy bans for having 100 auctions per day without botting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Appeal it everytime and blizz removed it with a big big big sorry .... after it happens 3rd time to me, i get my money back with my bank for a paid abo of 6 months... blizz doesnt do anything after that

An update if anyone is curious :

Neither me nor my friend got banned. I didn't sell everything yet but i think we've made around 70k. He was botting around 10-12h per day.
