[Honorbuddy] Professional Ex-Botter AMA (ask me anything)

[ev0]

I'm following with interest this thread and I've just started to plan how to
I have some very noobish questions tho:
1) My mains are on EU servers but I'd love to bot for profit on US: so I'll use a different computer, with different OS too on different realms and accounts. Any advice for it? Blizzard will check my ip and ban my main account if I'm playing from the same home?
2) I'm pretty sure about it but to use bots is illegal only in terms of violating EULA but is not illegal in general, right?
3) I'll start with a 5$ battle chest and levelling something new on a server: what about the server? I mean: how can I check what is the best server to start with? I know.. is a no sense question but still in need for any useful advice I'll do a druid to start maybe a tauren one with herbalism bonus and mining .. or something like that
4) I'm on my way to buy Honorbuddy to learn how it works: any useful link for programming it? And for levelling the druid?
5) For paying it's better to create a pretty new paypal?
I'm so interested in this thing thanks a lot for this thread

I'll answer 1 by 1:

1) You'll be fine, lots of people I knew do that. The only think you'll suffer from is high ping. I recommend East Coast servers. That will reduce that the most.

2) No, not "illegal" as in you'll go to jail. Worst will happen is they'll issue a cease and desist. That's just the companies way of saying "stop before we take legal recourse". There's nothing to be scared of.

3) Look at: https://theunderminejournal.com/ - see if there's a server that is missing something that you know a lot about.

4) Just browse the forums, you'll see a lot of questions that are easily answered there.

5) No need to become a secret agent with alternative names and stuff. I don't think you'll be making millions off them, so you have nothing to fear for your identity (or linking accounts to your name). If they want to find you, they will.


My pleasure, glad you're enjoying it

Thanks a lot for your kind and quick reply I'm installing all by now and I'll poke if I need to

#Edit!! Aaah! I forgot! May I use a default HB profile for levelling the char? Or is dangerous? (Yes. I'm living in terror..!)

Yes, use Kicks' profile, you'll be fine.

Did you stop making private profile? I saw a thread where you offer private profile for customer? I`d love to have profile made from someone with experience... I can pay good

Tell me more about how you used Teamviewer on your phone. How fast could you reply to a tell that you were reported? How did you manage to keep it viewable with such slow internet on your phone? 3G? 4G? Personally, I tried managing my bots via 3G and hid the rest of the window so TV would not have to render the game going on, but I ran into some problems.

It's very difficult, but it's "doable". I never said I could reply to whispers using the teamviewer, although you can. I said I could start/stop unstuck the bot.

Are you making sure to have the scenarios enabled and dungeon buddy running on all the accounts? Make sure to enable on the DK -> Enable Tanking (in bot config). As well as your two follower accounts, make sure they are set to "Follower" and make the party leader the blood DK.

Dear Batman, I've read through your post, it's awesome! I have some questions about selling the gold. I can think of 4 ways of trading gold to a buyer: a) trade in person b) mail c) withdraw gold from gbank d) fake auctions. As far as I know, a and b are super risky, right? I am sitting on 2M gold, going to sell it via gbank. what is the best strategy in terms of max-profit and min-risk: 2M x1, 1Mx2, 0.5Mx4, or 100kx20? Of course the most convenient way is to sell 2M gold at once, but I guess that extreme amount will trigger the red flag? If I sell smaller amount, say, 100k per trade, one trade a day, in 20 days...will that frequency trigger the red flag too?
d) fake auction, is that too obvious to buy 1 spirit dust for 500k? Another issue is AH 5% cut.

My last question: If I'm going to sell 2M with a $5 account(GM of a gbank), if this account gets perm banned, will Blizzard trace the source of the gold to my main account? I have many 90 toons with max professions. I must make sure my main is 100% safe.

Your recommendation is highly appreciated!

It depends most buyers don't buy 2m at a time maybe 500k max so you should ask him what his price is and the ammount he can buy for that price and then sell it again till you have sold all your stock.
Make sure the gold you don't sell is in a guild bank and has a account that can withdraw gold from it and make sure it is a clean account no botting or goldselling etc.
And what do you honestly think if someone makes a ebay auction for a card that is worth 0.20$ and lists it for 10.000.000$ yeah that isn't obvious.

I know you wanted a answer from him but i'm just trying to help you out i'm quite experienced in goldselling and botting myself.

Hello,
im on a empty server where you cant make gold via auctions, the price for inscription enchants is crap now so i need a method to bot( or better grind and vendor ? ) without using auctions .
Can you give me an advise or tell me an dungeon or area for good gold grinding or an other method ?
thanks

Thx a lot for your reply! This is my setup: #1 Main Acc-#2 Post Acc-#3 Deposit Acc-#4 Gold Seller Acc (4 separate bnet ID)
Main acc is my lvl90 crafters with max professions. This acc I must make absolutely sure it's 100% safe, no bot, no gold trade etc.
Main mails gems/scrolls/etc to an 2nd acc, which I use to camp AH about 10 hours a day. Daily income of tihs acc is than deposited to a gbank, and GM of which is under a 3rd acc (Deposit Acc)
Deposit Acc is clean. Only a bunch of lvl1 GMs with access to several gbanks. I only login this account when I need to withdraw large amount of gold.
Gold Seller accounts are a bunch of $5 acc. I made some more guilds, deposit gold to gbank when I find a buyer, promote him to GM.

Is there any loophole in my setup? I don't really care about #2 and #4, but I cannot lose #1 and #3 account. If #4 (gold seller) is banned, wil bliz trace the gold source and ban my other acc as well?

You shoulden't mail items to other accounts other alts on same account is fine tho you should use guild bank for it but that's my opinion.

Still I would suggest to have 1 account attached to the guild bank where your gold is that doesn't do anything at all reason is in the case of them banning all your accounts you can appeal and they would normally unban it if the account hasn't done anything at all having the account do something even if it is withdrawing and depositing gold is gonna be reason enough for them to ban you maybe becouse it is botted gold if they trace it that far.

For the rest I really don't know they can ban anyone for no reason at all if you read their tos so you never know but this should make you pretty safe incase you get banned and the other account hasn't done anything.

This is great post, I'm glad I've run onto this stuff... I'm also an "experienced" botter, well I've done that for 2 years and made pretty much lot of cash with my methods... But since Blizzard implemented "report player" stuff, there are lot of bans going on around there. It's weird, once I was monitoring my bots, and suddenly, at the same time, I got banned on 3 farmers that were on same realm, different zones and different profiles. Does it has to do something with IP adress? Should I create few virtual machines and run each bot account on each virtual machine? Thanks in advance for your reply.

+Rep from me indeed, keep the stuff up!
