How can you make money from botting?

[jtjono]

Don't know if this is allowed, if it's not just notify me and i'll delete or delete it.

How do you sell your credits that you make? Do you use a website? If so which website.
Is there another was to make money or is that the only way?

You don't really bot for money, you bot for own need. profit in swtor is currently very minimal compared to other mmo. The good thing is, there is a bot here for almost every mmo.

Playerauctions has a bad reputation amongst cheapskates but is the only website I will ever use for selling my currency. It's completely secure and you're unable to be beat through the website as PA takes the money from the customer before you ever get the order and if the person cancels their CC or anything, PA eats it NOT you.

It's also much easier to sell on PA, no 3 pointless screenshots when dealing with the skype buyers, you'll make about the same amount of money as their sales to considering they are also looking to make money, I am sure in fact you'd make MORE off PA as most of the Skype buyers I have worked with generally expect 30 - 50% of what you're making when infact PA takes 15% + 1$ per sale. When I do my yearly estimates/taxes I always round PAs take up to 17% as it definitely feels like more than 15% but not by very much at all. Kind of like they skim an extra 20 - 40 cents off every time they do a payout is what i have noticed.

That being said, we're all making an insane amount of money (or at least you should be, you just have to find the right game) off of something completely unethical. It's like that scene in Casino where he's explaining in the counting room the counters are going to skim money from you, it's called breakage. It should just be expecting when doing activities such as this. I mean after all some of us are doing thousands each month by doing nothing more than botting in video games.

Can't really complain that the website is taking money from me though when I am making as much as a nurse, teacher, cop, or anyone who does something meaningful with their life. After all, all I am doing is watching anime smoking weed and botting in video games all day.

Selling to various sites is always the best way to go. PA has limited number of buyers and you are going to be competing with the established sellers on there. I've even seen the price go as low as sites pay and even slightly lower on there. It is too much hassle for not much gain. Unless you are selling a low amount of credits on 1 or 2 servers, you are going to have a hard time on PA.

It also doesn't help that Bioware has no clue what they are doing and are killing the game. I've never seen the servers as dead as they are now and we haven't even hit summer yet.

There was a dev post from a bioware employee saying sorry for all the shit.
Man since 4.0 its just hit and miss, the numbers of exploits going around...
Yesterday I did the last chapter, but the story wasn't really... Catching.

Yes but the Arena looks amazing, and if we could get it meshed would make a hell of a profile challenge.

 

[Cryogenesis]

What arena and for what purpose should we create a profile for it?

 

[wired203]

Next update is the game arenas, a set of 10 challenging multi mob battles for solo. Will reward gear tokens etc with daily and weeklys. I would link to Dulfys site but not sure about the rules here and linking to a external site. Think of it as the next set of Heorics. With the mechanics it could prove to be one hell of a difficult profile, but would be interesting to screw around with.

"The Misteeeeriouss Straaanger!!" comes back XD

Nice and all, but as pushedx the dev for the eb bot is back on the job, I doubt we will see an update to the mesher anytime soon . So till that time we can write what we want, but nav is still poo.

 

[wired203]

Hrmm, then it's time for a request on GitHub to help alleviate that. Bot only goes like 20m or so without a mesh, we need that configurable until we can get a mesh update.

Put request on GitHub, if it's easy hopefully this will give us some movement over the 20m or so range we have now in unmeshed zones. Could be helpful for those that want to harvest the new zones.

We're still working on it even though pushedx is back on EB, but it's a hellish job.
