GatherBuddy farmingbot review and guide

[Cypher]

I wanted to respond in regards to this:

To those asking, yes. Gatherbuddy is safe unless the WardenDev decides to step it up a notch.


Gatherbuddy is now what is called a Semi-Passive bot. It’s not running inside of WoW, but reading from an external process. There are your occasional codecave injections (from what i gather for DoString, etc) but as long as these are freed accordingly, it should be fine.


...."

Whilst I indeed agree that detection would require a "step up", I'd like to point out that detection of such a bot would require only a stack trace in one of the function calls (such as FrameScript__Execute - a.k.a LuaDoString).

This would be a fairly easy and minor client change, though it would require modifications to WoW itself (not just Warden). That being said though, it would not only detect GB, but also a lot of the other public bots written in .NET and utilizing remote threads.

I know that Kynox knows all of this, I'm simply clarifying it for others. Don't be fooled, the danger level is still quite high. Right now it just depends how lazy the Warden guy is.

So we are no more or less secure than any public bot.

This is true for the moment. We are working on something that may be that we will be a step ahead at least in Warden terms and I'd hope any future change needed to detect us would appear on PTR first. If you want, I'l make you a free GB account and you can test it.

Sell 10-15 stacks at a time.
Make sure the harvesting account does some of the auctions - pure harvesting accounts get suspended.
If you see the same names twice buying your stuff, offer to cod them at 80% of ah rate.

STupid question: Can the client be updated silently?

Whilst that is true in theory, in practice the most secure bot is currently PocketGnome*, simply because it is running on an OS which isn't currently running a full Warden client (only a shell afaik). Granted, such a client would be easy to implement and push out, but we all know the Warden guy is slow/lazy.

Also, I wouldn't mind taking a quick look. If you could PM me the info that would be great. Thanks.

EDIT:

Changed GnomeTools to PocketGnome. Thanks Jjaa for the catch.
*walks off grumbling about all the public bots atm and their stupid names*

STupid question: Can the client be updated silently?

Client? No, not really. But the chance of someone noticing a stack trace in one of the functions and then publicizing it is VERY small. If it happened I doubt there would be a public warning.
