Dynamic IP - how good it can be?

[Darkbound]

Sooo, since I have a ADSL modem and everytime I restart it my IP changes... My idea is
If I have 3 accounts and I want to bot 24/7 can I do this:
1 Acc bot for 8 hours
Restart modem - changing IP
2 Acc bot for 8 hours
Restart modem - changing IP
3 Acc bot for 8 hours
Restart modem - changing IP
1 Acc bot for 8 hours
Restart modem - changing IP
and so on..

Altho my mac is the same but the IP changes, so how good this can be? Imo it should appear like every acc is playing only 8 hours a day..

Certainly sounds good in theory... of course, it also depends on what those bots are doing for that 8 hours. If it's running in a small area grinding the same mobs over and over again for skins, or seen running into the side of a barn for 20 mins, or ninja'ing a mine and begging for an wsp with no chat monitor setup... then I wouldn't give them a day before you lost them all. If on the other hand they rotate areas regularly and are running profiles that keep them from doing stupid stuff (more important when you are sleeping or otherwise AFK), and at least have a chat monitor up, that would reduce the chances of bans greatly.

Just my .02 worth... I'm pretty new here though...

No. Your accounts would still be on 24/7
Changing ip's won't reset the time total online for that day.
In fact that'll probably be even more suspicious.

N1K,

You missed something he said... each of the 8 hour slots would be using a seperate account... so he would be using 3 accounts for this, not 1 account 24/7.

I retract my previous statements. I had the wrong idea. Acc1 for 8, Acc2 for 8, Acc3 for 8
Yes. If you want to roll 24/7 this is a good idea. Don't just do the same thing on Acc1 you did on Acc1 16 hours ago. Having all accts doing the same thing for 24 hrs could be bad, but it would be easier to set a schedule for yourself, at least longer than 24 hrs ahead. Do mining on all 3, 8hrs each, do herbing on all 3, 8hrs each, farming mobs for that long might be a bad idea, but meh. Your account man.

Indeed Altoids that what I said, 3 accounts every account runing for 8 hours in a day which leads to 8 hours per day gametime on the accounts, and yea if I'm not doing anything stupid I'm wondering if this Theory really could work.

Seeing as Blizzard has stated time and time again that they don't monitor IP adresses, it's utterly useless.
Now, if you were to log in from different PCs and different MAC addresses as well, that just *may* have some use.

But seeing as you're using different accounts as well, the change in IP will do nothing. At all.

Just because Bliz says anything is certainly not a reason for me to do anything, other than suspect otherwise. Why should we expect that they would divulge everything they use to combat bots or any other 'threat' that they see to their game? If you're player poker, a good bluff goes a long way - and it can be used either to bluff a good hand or bad... same applies here. Just because they have repeatedly SAID, REPORTED, RUMORED, (fill in your method of choice) that they don't track IPs doesn't mean that they don't, or won't 10 minutes from now.

We know that they track something concerning my machine state otherwise why is it when I log in my main account that 80% of the time it no longer asks me for my authenticator... but let me log on from one of the other machines in my home network, and it asks every single time.

TLDR: I don't trust what Bliz says, no matter how many times they repeat it.
