Ok... This is my first ban. I'm appealed, but i'm not sure what will happen. I had been doing exactly the same routine for months, until recently. I had a private buyer, but a couple of days ago I got a second one, and so, i increased the amount of botting hours to supply them both... I guess that was the problem. Even though i don't have any auctions (i just sell everything to my private buyers) I send more than 250 stacks per day... There has to be any script or something.
I used to send 100 stacks per day and it was fine. I Guess 250 is too much. I became greedy...

sorry to hear that hopefully you get your account back, what did the email say?

I havent been able to find any private buyers since the collapse of raw materials a couple months ago.

I just told them that i never sold or bought gold, that i deal with large amounts of gold as a result of in-game commerce. Nothing too fancy. If they are too hard on me, i'll think of something else.

first bans are usually 3 days, no sweat

Ok, i appealed and i got my account back. Now... I just need to know how to continue... I'm clueless right now... The truth is I got greedy, i had a private buyer and i got a second one... Now, i think i'm going to cut both of them loose... I have almost 800K gold, and i don't think i'll need more, at least until pandaria... But, if I ever need to farm again, what is the safest amount of hours per day you can use GB without attracting too much attention or trigger an auto-ban?

 

[SpaceMarine43]

I would say 8 hours a day is the max for not appearing suspicious. I have botted that way for some time and I have never gotten any "You botter!" whisps, I haven't been ganked and I still make about 6k per three hours of farming.

All my bans have come right after i sell to private buyers, i stopped selling to them, only selling in the auction house with 7 bank toons and havent had a ban in months...

I wouldnt cut either of them loose, just raise your price per stack until one leaves. 800k wont hold u long in MoP if u play more than 1 toon

edit: gratz on acct being reopened. glhf
