I plan on going 24/7 batshit in season 9. Havent botted for like 9 months i kinda feel i have to make up for it.

Anyone here that practice 24/7 yar style and lived to tell the tale in season 8? Or is it too risky :D
 
If I play S9 it will probably without regard for my accounts.

I think that the only risk [other than the expected] is one that I state with my tinfoil hat on.

In my time botting, I have always been very cautious around content patches. I am therefore going to be more limited around necromancer patch time, but that's at least 6 months out. This is merely an assumption and holds no weight other than my own superstition coupled with the ban reports that usually come around patch time.

Other than that, I usually run 4 bots 24/7 from the second week of the season through about 45-60 days. By that time I have usually done what I wanted to in the season and ramp it down. Just try to stay off the leaderboards :)


In terms of YAR, I really haven't needed it since the post-Adventurer days. Only once in a great while will I come home to dead bots. It is nice if you want to cycle through game modes or specify play times while AFK though.
 
I too, will have play without regard for my accounts, D3 has lost what it had to offer in Vanilla, and nothing really amps me to play by hand any more.

Agreed TwoCigs, Blizzard are well known for throwing heavy bans around large patches/DLCs, Necromancer will be no different, remove players, and hope they buy back in to play Necro, smart thinking, I shall follow suit. That said, I also will avoid Leaderboards, it appears that is the sole reason for many of my other account losses.
 
I Have been botting 4 accounts for about 10 months and so far no bans. Like you guys i avoid the leaderboards and it seems to be working so far.
Im gonna bot alot this season too and not worry if i get bananad or not :cool:
 
Have done 24/7 since second season, not one ban. Stay out of the top 100 and you'll not get banned.
 
my little advice, do not run db 24/7. If you do that you will get banned sooner or later.
I got banned couple of months ago. No leaderboard both season and non season, always play below 75 gr, play solo or group (with my 2 other accounts), no friend list, etc but still got banned. So...it is your choice to push hard and run db 24/7, but be prepare...nothing is safe.

*Do not listen to people who says "I never got banned i run db 24/7, if u are not on leaderboard, you will be fine" BULL CRAP. Read the ban section and you decide.

My tinfoil hat is off until a couple months before Necromancer expansion drops. I am going to be really careful about what I do leading up to that. My only ban came when RoS dropped.

Agreed that nothing is truly safe. If you use a bot, you could get banned. Simple as that, there is no sure way to avoid that fact. Whether you play it safe or are completely obvious we do not know exactly how or why bans are assessed.

I botted 1 account 24/7 for 2 months before RoS dropped. Banned.

I have botted 24/7 for months on end using 4 accounts on the same IP. No bans.

I have also run multiple accounts solo for months on end 24/7. No bans.

The past few seasons I have leveled 1 account by hand, powerleveled my other accounts using it. Bot 24/7 for 2 months. Complete the stash tab. Then focus on testing. No bans.

However, there are definitely people who have run for a handful of hours per day, very conservatively, and have been banned. Some of them also use other third party programs which could be part of the reason.

I think this is because many people who have made leaderboards have been banned... But not all of them. At the same time, so many people have been banned that were never on the leaderboard.

While that would seem to point to evidence that leaderboards don't make a difference... It's not hard to conceptualize that Blizzard might not care about the lower 80% of users, but might pay more attention to the top 500 players in each class and group. Perhaps it also includes the top 10000 players in time played over a given period. We don't know.

What I can confirm is this:
  • If you are worried about losing your account, don't bot. You are never 100% safe.
  • No one has ever proven that running 24/7 causes bans. While you could argue a contributing factor, there is simply no proof that it's an exact cause.
  • Diablo 3 is simply not enjoyable without botting. I wouldn't play this game without my bots.
