Ban patterns and has Blizz become more vigilant?

[shopagirlhey]

I got my main account banned and my bot accounts. I recently Bought WoD on my main and on my bot account I RAF'd my bot and powerlvled my main and bot. I didn't bot on the same computer as my main account or even touched HB with my main account. do you think they will ban my main again or just the bot account perhaps?

I think they detect VPN, Proxys, VMs and such things. Even Viruses can do this...

(ofc thats not an 100% ban, but they could investigate these accounts more?)

BTW. Have 9 WoW Accounts on 1 Bnet Acc. Never occured mutiple bans. Or in short time. Same PC, same IP...

How many bots do you run to make 500k? Using AH I presume?

Currently only 2.

RAF is safe; it just goes through periods like all kinds of botting.

Like I said, avoiding it works for me. Every time I've used RAF I've had my bots banned (had a trail period over a few months back in 14-15.) If you're not getting banned you're either doing something better than I am or know when to time it right

Have as many bots as you want connected; makes no difference.

Makes a difference for me, at least from what I can tell.

Your bans largely depend upon player reports for casual players; pure and simple.

Largely? Perhaps. Entirely? No way. Running a dungeon farming group on a dead realm with the Tundra mount and still getting banned would tell you that.

Cap is 8 not including PTR or Alpha/Betas on a single Bnet account.

I may have some info to add as I think I may have caught them in the act of banning my accounts the other day.

Most of the other stuff that was mentioned by the op seems quite accurate to my experiences in wow also. The other day I lost 4. I had 2 pcs running around 8 bots total. 3 of 4 of the account that where running on this pc went down at about the same time (within 20 minutes of each other). I was at home and I noticed a few go down so a little while after I decided to move one of my accounts from the unbanned computer to the computer that just lost 3 accounts to reduce strain on my other pc and around 10 minutes the account that I just transferred over also got banned. The final account that survived from the 3 of 4 is still running fine 2 weeks after.

My theory is:
-Blizzard has upped security staff and are now following up reports more diligently
