how long can you herb mine for safely per day?

[jungly]

so far my IP is blacklisted, so i cant do 16hours anymore.

So im reducing it to 12hours/day but i think thats still too much as i run 6 accounts at once.

How many hours can you safely bot without triggering redflag?

I've lost like 20accounts in past 6months from same conversation from customer rep's <exploitation of economy> then i call and they say "you've farmed too long" or some bogus reason. they never say i botted.

Exploitation of economy is banable by itself, so maybe they didn't had proof of you're botting, or one reason was enough for them.
Anyways: Best way to bot is to be irregular.
Don't bot 12, 10, 8, 6 h every day, you need to be more irregular (like normal player) for example you can boot 13 h one day and only 4 next day, and for example 0 h one day per week, and so on.

But if you're flagged - make sure you don't make to many auctions (this is part of exploitation of economy) and don't ruin economy on your realm's.

what i do is my 6accounts send all mats via ingame mail to ACCOUNT7 who is on a seperate VPN (seperate computer). So when he gets banned the idea is that it looks like its on different IP from the bots.

I do not believe blizzard does any sort of "flagging" based off your IP. You are likely being to careless when you post auctions, and not switching up where you farm. Typically, Economy Exploitation is reported by players that notice you spamming 100 stacks of one particular mineral/herb every day. Try posting in smaller quantities, or finding private buyers.

I highly suggest finding private buyers. They pay cheaper than AH, but it is much safer!

I sell 20-50+ stacks of ore per person a day, I also sell 20-30 stacks of each herb to different people per day.

Usually 3-6g cheaper per stack than AH, but honestly I am happy to lose that amount of gold for safety. Also remember when discussing this deal, make it a fixed price. (If the AH goes lower he will still buy at that price, if AH goes very high, you will still sell at that price.)

Also sell off every account, make 1 bank alt per account. Sell off them. Makes it seem normal, I suggest all bank alts in the same guild. Then have your 2 main farmers in that guild also.


I have many tips to be safer while gathering so just PM me if you want them all.

thing is my 6 farmers on on VPN1
and my bankalt is on vpn2

yet somehow my farmers get teh 'exploitation of economy'

[sinister7515]

I just bot at random times, sometimes i do 18 hours sometimes 4 hours

Use a VPN for different wow clients

[tatelax]

I would suggest using a VPS like jeremie said, although that would cost money. You could use Amazon's free one.
