Hey guys, I have been on these forums and have been botting for a while now, well over 6 months. I just wanted to give you my story and hope it will help you guys out in some way. When I first started to bot D3 I went ban free a long time, got banned once (5 of 12) but I started back up. I went strong until 12/18 when I got hit for all my accounts which was about 20 at the time. At that time I switched my ISP (not because of bans but for personal reasons), ever since I switched ISP I have been banned 6 times, 5 of the 6 times I lost about 80% of the accounts but the 6th time I lost all of them. Also I decided to try my luck in WOW, I started WOW bots not too long ago and all of those got hit today as well (6 of 6) I dont know if the ISP has anything to do with the bans, or its just pure bad luck. I have lost MANY accounts. I am not writing this to complain, I just hope this information can be used in a positive way for the community and the Devs. If Devs need any details from me please feel free to send me a message, I will provide you with any information you need. I am going to switch my ISP once again and start up once more. I will let you know how it goes.
Up until the last time I got banned I ran all my bots 27/7 running act 3 big red. Only plugins I used were Giles and Atom.
On my last set of accounts I tried going for 12 hours a day, didn't change much. But at this point I am sure I was on their radar.
1) Were you using DemonBuddy on the account at the same time the ban/suspension occurred? (Kicked offline due to being Banned)
Some of the bans were while the bot was running, some were offline during maintenance.
2) If not, when was the last time?:
3) If using a public profile please name it here:
Big Red
4) How did you level your characters? Please give some details
At first I ran queen for level 2-10 then modified act 1 and act 3 champion run profiles for Norm, NM and Hell to level. Recently I used full act profile (a few bots got hit leveling on this profile)
5) What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname:
giles
6) What plugins are you using?:
giles and atom
7) How many hours per day did you bot for?:
mostly 24, but my last set of accounts ran for 12 hours a day
7.5) What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot?
50-60%
8) How many auctions per day did you have?:
10
8.5) Did you use the Real Money Auction House (RMAH)?
yes
9) Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, Mods, or Exploits?
No
10) Was your account involved in gold selling?
No
11) What server region where you connected to (The Americas, Europe or Asia)?
US
Hope this helps, just wondering if my ISP has anything to do with it. Also I don't know if I can tell you which ISP I used before and what I use now, but I had Cable and switched to DSL.
