Main reason I'm making this in case anyone who has some advice for avoiding abuse of the economy? I've been botting to make some extra cash as I'm in college, and need every bit, but I'm unsure how most mass gold sellers avoid abuse of the economy. If you have any advice please give me, but please be aware I'm doing this for gold-selling, so rehashing advice like don't bot a majority of the day isn't very good for me, and finding private sellers on 20 accounts ( that's what I'm aiming for atm ) would seem time consuming. If you sell a lot of gold do you just bot every other day? Do you run something to turn your ore in to gems i.e. less flooding the ah? Do you just have 50+ accounts, and suffer the bans?
I finally got a very nice setup with HBRelog that was fully automated for me so I tested how well that would do for 2 days, and then I stopped all my accounts except one for a day to let the ah mellow out, and ironically the one I didn't stop wasn't banned for botting.
1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account?
Both.
2)If so, when was the last time?:
Today.
3)What profile were you using?:
Uldum Profile - Neutral VRM.
4)What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname:
Mostly a combination of singular/fpsware.
5)What plugins are you using?:
Mr.ItemRemover, LogMeOut, HBRelog, Others that I don't remember.
6)How many hours per day did you bot for?:
I binged from none, to a majority of the day from 12-24.
6.5)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot?
I wouldn't even attempt to guess, but not too high.
7)How many auctions per day did you have?:
A lot.
8)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods?
No
9)Was your account involved in gold selling?
Yes
10)EU or US realm?
US
As you can tell from what I've said not really a surprise I've been banned, but felt like doing this anyway. I got hit with abuse of teh economy ( as I have atleast 2-3 times already on every one of these accounts ), and appealed, but this time instead I actually did get banned. These 3 accounts were on two battle.nets, one turned into a ban for botting, the other one they just said they confirmed their actions.
I don't particularly like to go with anecdotal evidence/theories as I've seen a few comments about feeder accounts being banned, and since I tried to keep each bot's doings their own individual accounts I kind of ignored this, but I unwittingly forgot that I have been transferring gold ( not items ) between these two battle.nets for awhile, and I believe this is probably why my second one got banned through connection, and why it was not banned for botting.
Some paranoid part of me thinks they just want to be ban me so I don't get the diablo 3 game xPPPPPPPP, but I keep checking and it still says active on my b.net
First official ban in 6 years of this game, 3 years of botting, and half a year of hardcore botting! It feels kindof relieving =).
