what else were you doing before questing?

 

[Hunglao]

Nothing. All I was doing was questing, had it run for a bit last night, and I started it up before i came to work this morning. I was doing some archeology a few days ago, but thats it.

 

[Hunglao]

If it helps, i will check my logs when i get home and see if there is anythign in there. I was level 78, and was in crystalsong forest

You were prolly opening/closing vendor or stuck somewhere and got reported.

This is usually the case.

Just curious why hb does not detect bot trying to open same vendor 2500 times during the night ?

Should be some protection about this !

I don't beleive opening and closing vendor would get you flagged.

One of my accounts also got flagged while questing in Northrend. I try avoid questing there now.

 

[hi1674]

Have u guys been grinding a lot ?

The questing itself shouldn't flag u....

If you follow any of the questing guides like the Zygor one you would be flagged then ?

Must be something else that triggers it.

what are your other options to be less suspicious? if you were blizz, would you be more concerned about the person that did 12 levels by:

specific queueing instances and missing out on the jp/bonus xp that most players would want, and queueing the ones that just happen to be the ones that are meshed by IB
several days of archaelogy
several days of mine/herbing
several days of grinding
orrrr the person that quested through northrend in a couple of days that happened to more or less follow a quest order that some bots do?

I do a little PVP and limit it to AV and AB with range dps and paladin or druid healers. Shamwow from what I've come across is, it heals better than a human player, so it will get u reported by players. When PVPing, it's generally no more than 2 hours at time.

Shamwow heals better then a player will get you repported? well hell no, well atleast not in dungeons, seen people saying "Hey XXXXXX youre the best healer i?v ever seen" so well don?t think they will report me, they se me as a god, a god i tell you i am a god.

You're taking the comment out of context. My reference was with PVP. Search for pvp reportings regarding shamwow.

I have had players question my Shammy's healing abilities in dungeons. While it is less risky, there's always a risk with botting. Biggest mistake anyone can make is to assume there is no risk.

I expect a closure of a RAF account I am doing whenever Blizz gets around to it. First account I am doing level 1-XX with nothing but questing. While the feature is amazing, I always wake up, or come back from doing something and find the bot spamming:

Talk to NPC
Turn in Quest XXX
Quest XXX criteria not met
Turn in Quest XXX
Quest XXX criteria not met
Turn in Quest XXX
Quest XXX criteria not met
Turn in Quest XXX
Quest XXX criteria not met

Found that happening 10-15 times so far. Just trying to hurry up and get those free levels for my main account!

EDIT: But yes, some sort of check against this would be nice. Maybe if developers pack their profiles with a plugin, since all text output from developer to developer is different, something that says:
If read of Debug has XXX in it for YYY amount of time, log off.

XXX will have everything from spamming questgiver (say after 5-6 trys of the same thing) or mailbox/vendor spam.

YYY will be user defined time, as in how many tries to log off.
