how much gold did you make a month? how much did you sell the gold for on average? Just curious.

At my peak, 75k/day - i would turn around and sell that for $60. Lowest point of gold per day, 20k. In total my average month I saw about 3mil gold per month. Mind you, this was my only job. I played/monitored things 16 hours a day.

How did you go about selling the gold? I'm sure you were selling to a private buyer, as the above prices seem a bit high for the Chinese gold dealers.

Did you sell your gold on a daily basis, once a week, bi-weekly, monthly?

If you did sell it daily, how did you not get caught?

What, in your opinion, is the safest way to trade the gold you're selling to your buyer?

I sold gold as they requested, I had a guild bank they would join on a low level and take what they needed (I really only sold to guildies and personal in game friends).

I've always wondered from a technical point of view on blizzard's side, why some people move that much gold on a monthly basis and not trip any red flags by blizzard. Seems peculiar that some people get banned for botting minimally while others are able to move 3 million gold (in your case, for example) without getting banned. I had a friend who was banned for botting what was maybe 30k/g a week max.

It's the way it's shuffled and moved imo. I don't give away gold to random people. These people I interact with on a bi-daily basis and I know will not report me. The justification of gold can be seen in guild progress and I "mask" certain things with "GUILD CONTESTS". So, it looks like i'm giving away prizes. That is against ToU but it's not actively persued by GM's versus gold selling

Bans are normally given out for people who are being reported. There's no real way to detect you as being a bot, unless blizz see's a report on you. So, to combat that issue: Make your own profiles, do not use outdated plugins, and NEVER download a profile that has 6000+ viewers/revisions. That's a guaranteed way to get the boot.

Kicks leveler is very popular so based on what you said it could be more risky then usual?
For making gold - right now i have herb/mine maxed, what should i do next for max gold from shuffling?
For selling gold - I'm guessing high pop realms are best to sell, but do you make a character in each faction for each realm?
Lastly - How can you run 40 bots at the same time?, I'm afraid to run 3

Correct, Kick's profiles are "iffy" but he changes it so often and the pathing is based on mesh, not click-to-move pathing. So every persons questing experience is going to be "unique" in some regards.

Take your herbs and shuffle it into alchemy. New raid is coming, tons of progression. Take your ore, make bars or shuffle it to gems. There's a weird market for red gems right now. PVPers are stacking priority gems, not pvp power.

I really sell gold where I know the most people. I don't hop server to server to sell, although at one point I sold "level capped guilds with 1mil gold" for $900. I sold 3-4 of those a year.

I don't run 40 bots at a time, I run at MOST 3 sessions. I take advantage of the bot's ability to relog onto different characters based on profile syntax. You can make a shuffling/AH/farming team just with 1 profile.

SoRs are being instantly banned until you can provide original account owner ID, I wouldn't touch these.

this is NOT true.
i got an account with 5 sors on it and no one is banned even tho i botted with them

[Urikain]

How long did it take you to build your "empire"? :P

I'm looking to start botting but at the moment can only afford one account. Hopefully if I do well I shall be able to get more!
