Here is a thought. I do not know if this has been discussed before but I would like to throw it out there to the buddy community for opinions.
I was recently banned (I managed to get it reduced to a 72 hour suspension) and support told me that they had identified bot use from my IP address. Now if blizz has recognised that my character was being played at the time of botting identification from my personal computer that makes it rather obvious that it was me botting and trying to argue otherwise limits you to members of your household with access to your account only. So... With that in mind, what if you were to use a Virtual Private Network to use the I.P. address of another individual? For those who don't know, you basically pay someone a small fee to 'tunnel' out to their server and go login to wow/use the internet through that and it masks your I.P. address by giving you a temporary one from the providers end. I used to do this in my first year of university as the ports needed to login to WoW were closed by the university for 'security reasons' (this applied to xbox live and PS3 online too). So I know that it was relatively successful and allowed me to play all my games via someone else's network giving me a different I.P. etc.
My thoughts are that if you were to get banned this way you would be better able to argue that your account had been hacked? Especially using a korean, etc. server? I may give this a go myself and report in if I get banned and the success rate of account recovery? If anyone else tries this I would really like to know how they get on. You need to google 'V . P . N . Tunnel' (I can't write them three letters next to each other for some reason :s) and you will find out all you need to know. It's simply a program that you connect to before login to any online service. Very simple to use.
The community's thoughts would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Alzatar.
NOTE: You are just as likely to get banned using this method of account connection and login and you will need to pay a small fee to get a decent MB/s and latency. This is purely an account recovery method for increasing your chances if you do get the account banned whilst botting, giving you a legitimate argument to remove personal blame.
