Mmm. Yes, you can use something OTHER than Gatherbuddy, you can try
GatherBro (
but it isn't free).
You can also couple GatherBuddy with ProfessionBuddy for a bit more versatility.
What Lal (
lickalime) is trying to say, imo, is that without a bit of know how both into the environment/economy and the understanding that "
nothing is free" without a bit of work ... you aren't going to achieve your goal.
Players aren't banned for using GatherBuddy out right; they are banned for any number of reasons, a few examples are:
- extended hours of botting
- farming/hording for in-human amounts of time
- flooding the AH
- excessive bulking to private buyers
- player reports
If you bot responsibly you
should be alright, there is no certainty with these things - only statistics.
This forum is full of information, and guides, on how to set-up your bot(s) and how to make gold with professions; all you need to do is take the time and
search.
