Guild Bank Question

[ayarde]

If I bot on an account and mine and herb and deposit those reagents into my guilds bank that I am a member of, I am well aware that my account can get banned for botting, but am I putting the guild or any other members at risk for this?

I was wondering about too. Anyone else experience this yet?

If they can clearly track a flow of items/gold going from a detected bot account to another account, they can ban the second account for 'exploiting the economy'. That's their catchall reason for whenever they know you broke the ToS but don't have direct evidence to support it.

Generally though, if the items are being distributed to a lot of players in your guild, they should be pretty safe. It's not like a GM can narrow down one or two to punish, and he can't ban them all either.

Blizzard can't do anything to the guild itself though, just its members. That's why a lot of people store botted gold in guild banks; if the accounts are banned the guild is still there.

Wrong, Blizzard can delete guilds completely... I have had several botting guilds with gold cap removed from existence..

Granted they where botting guilds.. but certainly dont think blizzard cant touch guilds..

In the OP's Case if you have legit players lots of them in your guild then its unlikely the guild members would get banned however if the guild stock in mostly yours (from a confirmed bot) they will remove the content you have added including all gold and items
