Someone clear this question about how banning works

[ihoax]

Anyways, I have a few questions about how the wow ban system works.

So let's say you have a leveling/gatherbot on a different account...And blizzard figures out your botting. Do all accounts under the IP get banned? Or from the same machine? Or does it just ban the account that was botting?

And for casinos...How do you people manage to not get banned?

So overall does blizzard just ban the account thats violating the TOS? Or all accounts on a machine/IP?

It depends on how the accounts are linked. I've seen people have different accounts on the same ip but with different names, only one gets banned, but I've also seen seperate accounts (one botting/hacking, one not) with the same name and same credit card both get slammed.

Blizzard looks at names and payment information (as previously implied by Dragonshadow's post).

So if I use my creditcard on my real account, and a prepaid wow card on another account, I'm safe?

[Dragonshadow]

use different names aswell and I think you'll be safe

Got any other tips?
