*** and virtual machines?

[hgoutyt]

Whats everyones take on these options. do they really benefit or is it a unnecessary "tinfoil hat" method. Also do you think having custom domain emails is helpful or harmful. Like say i have my own email [email protected] and another [email protected] will that rouse suspicion? just want to get peoples thoughts

From my personal experience, blizzard collects a "machine ID" from the computer you are playing on, based on hardware. Just like microsoft does. I've been banned many times, and sometimes multiple accounts on the same machine didn't get all banned, but a lot of the time, multiple accounts or all on the same machine did. So personally I would use virtual machines/other computers to bot from. Having a different internet IP is also wise, but i think they rely on this less (think school, large house, coffee shop, public wifi) for banning purposes.
