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

[ev0]

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!

You're on EU, I've stated a few times that they're a lot more harsh with their bot monitoring. It's amazing. I literally ran bg buddy on my level 90 hunter for 3 days straight. Didn't get banned. If you did that in the EU, I can say after hour 5, you'd probably be redflagged.

With your question, you should just get a new IP issued to you from your ISP (say you're getting ddos'd or just change your mac address in your router) if you're afraid of being IP focused. Or change your niche to botting.

I'll reveal my method of earning my recent 750k gold in 1 month. @Thaadevil and I have been talking back and forth. He's watched me in action:

5 level 80 twinks farming wrath heroics:
1 Blood dk (tank)
2 fire mages
1 boomkin
1 disc priest (heals)

They finish most instances in 7-14 minutes. I can on a good 18 hours of botting (these are scrap accounts), average 100+ instances. Pure gold farming I get 4800g JUST from looting. I normally set the boomkin to be my looter (druid kitty form + dash to catch up). Everyone else pass on loot, except priest who has enchanting and tailoring I have her get the cloth and roll d/e on everything. I craft bags and some green items to d/e for infinite dust. I do this by hand since I haven't made a profile yet for the shuffle. On average I earn about 15-20k gold per 18 hours of botting.

Mind you, this doesn't sound super amazing. But it's 100% afk and undetected by anyone other than a GM monitoring you (but they won't, for you haven't been reported).

In the last 25 days i've had good and bad days with this method. A few times they got stuck on a door, a few times the druid got too far behind from looting (they move really fast because i geared them all out).


I apologize for typos. This was a very very poorly described guide. But it should give you some insight on new cheap ideas of how to bot.

Goodluck!

edit::: lately i've been having a lot of trouble with oculus. But only of recent updates. weird. Oh well happy farming!

My friend used Kick's and leveled his warlock to 90 with it in like a week ( He ran the bot 10+ hours a day )
I tried out kick's once, but got stucked after 10 quests. He just contacted to NPC but he did not do anything, then stopped.
Its A point, eastern plaguelands, and there is a B point, western plaguelands. After the bot finished eastern, he will go to western, but he just dismounts and kills ALL mobs between these 2 places till he reach western. Are there any useful plugins to avoid stucking? Sorry for poor english, and thanks for the help

Your best bet is to post your problem with a Honorbuddy log on kick's thread. That's his profile, his problems. I can only recommend bg botting for 1-2 levels until your bot out levels that zone and starts a new questing area.

Cheers.

I don't know why you say this that EU is higher banrate then US if you are from the US then I may understand this but if you are not then not I would say EU botting is safer then US go try and make a new account with a SOR on it and see which gets banned faster.

I don't think you are so experienced as you say you are becouse this is common knowledge EU has began to crack down aswell but not as hard as US.

Your info is largely outdated and providing outdated information on how not to get banned isn't too good for someone who wants to not get banned right now and it has always been easier to get away with botting on EU servers as far as I am aware.

It's not outdated at all, i'm running 12 bots as i type this from home. I'm at work right now, over an hour away. I'm botting fine. My experience says that EU is banning at a much higher rate. I speak with people from EU all the time, they are banned for just herbalism in a 2 hour span. I retired from that field long ago, but I talk with people everyday that do it 15+ hours.

I'm retired from big time botting for money. I now do it for personal gold and keep friends happy every now and then. Really, if you're looking to make $1k+/month botting, make up your own niches and policies. These are how I have been botting successfully for 6 years and no bans. I think my opinion is very solid.

You may just know more people who bot on EU servers but if that is your opinion then okay.

My account got perm-banned for botting after a final-waring but the wierd thing is that I never touched honorbuddy after the 72 hours ban. I did a thread on honorbuddy-forum and they said that the 72 hours ban was a review up on my account too see If I was botting but when i spoke with a GM about this problem he said that, first I got banned for botting and I got my 72 hours ban and after that he said that I botted again which I didn't. But I did bot runescape at the time I was playing so my question will be is there anyway I can get my account back ( legal depdepartment letter?) and Could it be that blizzard thought that my runescape bot was a WoW-bot?

I don't have experience working with people who are banned. You'll have to contact experts on other threads. I really don't know anything about the actual banning process (seeing as I've never been banned for botting).

Goodluck though, I hope your issue gets resolved.

dis thread has helped me much ty rep

[Thaadevil]

All theese lies, you had an account banned 2 weeks after WOTLK came out for gold buying. You got hit by the permanent ban hammer and the 21/7 you got it unbanned by livechating with a GM. lies lies lies lies LIAAAR!

How risky is inviting chinese buyers into a main account bank alt's guild bank? Trying to sell off some gold, but wary of the risk. Almost considering buying a battlechest to transfer guild leadership over to for the sole purpose of selling the gold from there.
