Only viable once you get above 500 ilvl or its really slow so it takes some time commitment and patience to get your squad geared up. 515+ is ideal so run them through lfr at the beginning of the week and use your valor to purchase upgrades on 528 gear and tier pieces. Best group combo is pal tank, druid/shaman heal, mage/hunter/lock/dk dps. Basically you want one bres, one hero, and if you can manage a plate melee class for OT in case shit goes sideways it is beneficial to have a dk. It's also nice to spread your group over 5 different gear specs.
Once you have that set up and running smoothly they can net anywhere from 500 - 1500 GPH with tweaking and a few secret tricks you'll find along the way. I have 10 accounts split with 5 groups on each split who log on run their two daily dungeons for cap and log off after roughly 30 minutes. Only run 5 at a time so I can split the day in half as if the account owners are on different schedules. Net 15-20k a day across the accounts (outside of other activities) with 30 minutes played on each toon, before you go and try to calculate it out most of my characters were leveled RAF so some accounts have an imbalance of alts and have toons swapped into remixed groups where some have already been capped.

but botanica is a banfest
So many words to state the obvious, got tired reading halfway through.Both methods are viable, and a lot of the ones not covered here are also good.
I haven't been banned on botanica in over a year now (after initially being banned many times), because I have a few tricks I use that will keep me from being banned permanently running botanica or any dungeon now. It all came from thinking and thinking and thinking and trying different things, until this elusive obvious was revealed. I run 24/7 and never get banned, can you figure it out?
It depends more on WHO is botting than the method itself. By trashing any method, you simply show your lack on knowledge/expertise/experience in that method.
There are people making more by pickpocketing 24/7 using custom botbases. I know of a few. Their routine is randomized every time so they evade bans/lcp detection. Also, it's more than that. They don't stay in the same area
I know of a few who are gathering 24/7 and don't get banned. They are not the expection, they actually know what they are doing (using a certain trick you probably heard of but never tried due to the complexity of it). If you think really really hard, maybe you will find out the secret too. I am not even going to give a hint, because I am not dumb like the noobs who like to talk about all their secrets on the forums and then after a few weeks wonder 'o shit why did my method get nerfed'
But whoever is smart will figure it out by himself.
I have personally seen 700 bots go in shattered halls dungeon at once. Anything is possible. It depends on WHO is botting and their mindset/their goals/etc.
You only have a few years to live in this world, it is better from someone's mindset to go all out balls to the walls and end up with more money than the safety guy in the end.
While the other guy who wants to be safe, is perfectly happy, just being safe and making a bit of cash on the side. Which is ok for HIM.
Everyone is different and all methods work fine, depends on who is doing it.
People who are dumb even get banned doing 5 man heroics, because they don't understand certain principles and ideas about how much escalation is possible
Best botters I know do things that others constantly get banned doing, without getting banned. This way they make the most and still stay safe. (They also have backup bots ready incase their farm goes down) Just think really hard, because it might come to you.
You always get tired, because your brain is under powered and your posts hold no value.So many words to state the obvious, got tired reading halfway through.
One more thing:
All the fools that keep mentioning 'haha im not getting banned lol running 5 mans' will eventually make it 100% banable (for the masses) because all blizzard has to do is scan 5 man teams doing instances from same ip/hardware id/wow client/mac/etc and then check for macros. If no macros exist, those 5 should be insta banned because no one can control 5 toons without using macros. This should result in a 100% perma ban with 0 chance of being unbanned (if blizzard is smart) because it is proof that the person was botting. It is that simple. Why hasn't it happened yet? Because no one talked about it enough and blizzard is unaware of it atm.
Oho, we got ourselfs a bad boy here. It's like having another rogue demon all over again.You always get tired, because your brain is under powered and your posts hold no value.

To get back on topic a bit. I would discourage you from using a pala tank. instead opt for dk or druid or monk. they can tank in fully dps gear while tank specced and do absurd amounts of damage consider druid monk or disc priest as heal. dps wise an arms warri is a great choice imho.
Agreed re: DK dps as tank. A lot of times my healer is useless because my blood dk in dps gear is staying at full health on his own in heroics.
My team at the moment:
Tank - Blood DK in DPS gear
Healer - Resto druid
DPS - 2 Hunters, 1 mage
All are geared above ilvl 500 so loot tables don't matter if you are willing to put in the effort to get 528 LFR gear.
Yes, because there is no families that plays from the same ip and lan parties is a myth so ofcourse there could never be a group that plays from the same ip, that would be silly.You always get tired, because your brain is under powered and your posts hold no value.

not sure if they do, but they can if they want to ...Perpetuating that Blizzard uses IP to ban accounts shows your ignorance.
Blizzard definitely can get MAC of your computer and first active device (router for example) after it, nobody can know if they do, but they can, and if i was working at blizzard i would use thatStating that They can access your MAC illustrates your lack of knowledge as that is a LAN characteristic and not an IP broadcasted one.
That's for heroics - not normals...i do mop dungeons on 5 lvl 85s 500 ilvl isnt needed u idiot
