Do you guys bot for PVP gear?

[Dallaswolf]

So I was just curious if you guys bot for your pvp gear? I know someone said its way more risky to bot in random battle grounds and I wanted to know if thats true? Wanted to see what the fastest way to get my 5 man Dungeon team to ilvl 700 was! thanks for your help and any tips to get to ILVL 700 the fastest would be great..I have 18 days left of play time and they are at 610 to 620 but once they get banned I wanna start a new group!

Its always speed vs safety.

Up to you, but generally, in Ashran the bots are geared very fast nowadays too.

 

[Dallaswolf]

Whats very fast?

Like how long are we talking? Would it be faster to play in party mode in ashran then bot random BG?

I can get full gear within 2-3 hours usually. Theres a way to get into ashran solo, then all I do is go around collecting all the artifacts caches, hand in, do some of the events and repeat when the caches respawn.

I havnt tried botting it, botting 1-100 best do the 100 stuff myself.

If you bot in battlegrounds, you'll get banned via stacking manual player reports unless you do your own nav and settings, and even then it's risky, unless you're playing as a healer or something. (Even then)

Double honor weekends like this weekend, I just play manually, gear up my chars in a few hours of work on each. Or just do Ashran manually with a good group.

But seriously, botting in BGs is blatantly obvious and people WILL get mad and report you. After all these years, I still firmly believe many bans are a result of player reports, and when a bot is setup well they're usually actually better than most players in BGs, but when setup poorly it causes losses which makes teams angry, and is also pretty obvious (for instance, in Gilneas, healer specs sitting anchoring lighthouse/mines without every moving, and when they're the only healer on a team and not responding to people asking for heals/help, it sort of sends up a red flag)

Take the time to set up your bot and settings, 20 minutes of work can save you 6 months of suspended heartache

I agreed, the only I've ever been banned is from 1. AH, 2. RBGs.

I still bot in bg's. I monitor it 100% though while watching movies n such on my second screen.

In my 6 years of botting on and off (mostly levelling and combat routines, some material farming in MoP too) I've been banned once after I got lazy and farmed BG's for day.
A week later my ban came in. I can't be sure of course, but BG's seem like a bad idea to bot.

Indeed, in the last 3 years, the only 2 bans I have received (beside the detection banwaves) of this list, were from mindless rushing BGs with BgBuddy and Singular, without any setup and monitoring - both times done it for 3-4 hours, then banned in the next 12 hours!

Doing baleful is more safe, doesn't take long to get to 695. True b.g is always quicker however depends what you are aiming for.
Personally two days of farming taanan apexis I'm ready to start farming on my toons, and each day I do the dailies to get more gear.

 

[GranPapi]

Just when i'm supervising my char, otherwise no, these days everyone is reporting everyone for botting.

Meanwhile i can bot Arenas and get full 710 ilvl in less than 12 hours
