A Few Questions For Experienced Botters

[k1ndbudz]

I'm trying to make the transition from hobbyist to generating a small amount of income and just had a few questions:

1. If I farm ore / herbs on a low pop server, do I then transfer them to an alt on a high pop server to sell them...where AH prices for ore / herbs are higher?

2. Do you use separate accounts for botting and for selling gold? Is the selling more likely to receive flagging as the farming? Or can I do it all with 1 account.

3. Do you sell herbs / ore on the AH every night? Or stockpile and sell at high $$ points in the week?

4. Should I try to sell my gold to (chinese?) bundlers or should I try to sell privately? Is the risk of scam very high with private sales?

Thanks.

No sell on same realm. How are you even gonna transfer them?

2. Do you use separate accounts for botting and for selling gold? Is the selling more likely to receive flagging as the farming? Or can I do it all with 1 account.
Up to you. Some do some don't it may save your account it may not. If its more flagging depends on many factors and most of all luck, sometimes a thing that you did 25 time will get you banned on 26 time.

3. Do you sell herbs / ore on the AH every night? Or stockpile and sell at high $$ points in the week?
Every day for me. Use many alts. Listing 100 stacks of 200 is a bit strange don't you think?

4. Should I try to sell my gold to (chinese?) bundlers or should I try to sell privately? Is the risk of scam very high with private sales?

Up to you. China is not optimal price. Selling privately can lead to scam (check platforms that assist) are you willing to fight the competition?

Thanks.

Wasn't sure if it was possible through some mechanism. Thank you very much for the reply.

The key you have to remember, is node spawn is relative to the number of people in the zone. So a low pop server may have fewer people fighting over nodes, but you also have less of them spawning. Same with high population, you're fighting over them with more people but there are more spawning.
