How to trick the GM and prevent perma ban

**l1nkown** · 08-01-2011

This method requires two people. Yourself and someone you can trust.

This is what my friend and I do:

1. My friend plays WoW like a normal player during the day.
2. He logs off in Orgrimmar at 12:00 midnight.
3. I log onto his account and travel to the lost city of tol'vir instance and fish bot over the night as we both sleep
4. In the morning I wake up, port back to Orgrimmar and list all the items/transfer to my own account
5. I log off in ogrimmar and my friend logs back on and repeats step 1 and so on.

So what this does is basically simulate my friends account being hacked. When GMs look at the logs they see a normal WoW player who runs instances, quests in the day and logs off at a reasonable time. Then they see someone else log into the account late at night with a different IP and bot. So if you ever get banned, what you can basically tell blizzard is, "I have no knowledge of me breaking the rules, you can check the logs, I logged off at around 12 last night, couldn't have been me." There's no way Blizzard would perma ban you.

Of course there's one flaw in my method and that is the transfer of botted goods to my main account without making it seem like my main account is attached to the botter.

You will most likely not get banned for fishbotting, your "method" looks to me like it just increases the chance of a ban, because of the large online times.

This only raises more suspicion to be honest simply because of all the IP switches every night again..

I liked the original concept, but I do see the mass flaws in this.

You don't think they would do something if it looked like you were being hacked?

Well i've been hacked by a gold farmer before. I basically called them and they unbanned me, offered to get whatever items I lost back and simply told me to install some antivirus software.

I think you've higher chances of being caught, like everyone said.

Also, I can see one wierd thing here.

1st - You use your friends account to use bots, without him knowing.
2nd - When you finish the bot session, you send all the stuff to your account.

3rd - If he gets caught and he claims he got hacked by gold farmers, he'll get his account back but say bye bye to your account. Through IP search, they'll reach your account and you'll look like a gold farmer.

Better method would be to create a dummy guild and transfer items over via the guild bank.

Common sense, and there is much better methods to do this. /Closed

This guy is spot on. Think about this, if you have an account and no one knows you're using it, why not? You could get away for months making gold without TAKING the account. Just leave everything in place, in the right spot. +rep, smart.
