**How long and in which way can you bot**

[dzenanko]

Okay lads, here is one topic that i am pretty sure everyone will be interested of.
How long does accounts can last without getting banned?
Accounts are to expensive for botting? There is a solution also.
How many accounts can be logged in on one IP?
Selling gold price is to low now?
__________________________________________________________________________

Okay, first of all, i'v botting for a really long time. In those days account cud last for a 3 month with 24/7 botting and no ban.
Now, with all HB detection and everything Blizzard made out, account can not last more then 10 to 12 days. It isn't important do you bot 24/7 or 2 hours per day you will get banned anyway.
Now, some peoples said that accounts are to expensive. Yea, europe accounts are 14$ but Russians? You can find key from 5 do 7 $ with all expansions 'till MOP. You can't run russians accounts in EU? No problem. When you creating account make it on Russian main country, buy a VPN for 7$ a month and run a Russian IP.
Now, my calculation is this. If you have good computer, you can run 10 accounts + bots. One account can farm 20k gold for one day. 10 accounts x 20k = 200k per day. Now, leveling is really easy these days. Merge up all accounts, put them in group and they will level up from lvl 1 to 90 for less then a day so do not count that one day for botting. Count 9 days of active botting. That would be 1800k gold. Now, today gold are selling by price of 0.08$ (on demand) so that would be 144$ for 9 days. Now, you paid for accounts and IP changer 70$ and that would be clean 74$ in your pocket. Anyway you have a profit to doing it.

If anyone have to add something or ask, please go ahead. Thanks!

You forgot the HB-keys to calculate in, if you are someone who just started like me it's a pretty big investment. ;D Also which class would you recommend? When you hit 90, I guess you won't bot in a group anymore that means leveling a full group (Tank, Healer, DPS) is not effective is it?

These calculations are the reason why I kept botting for 5 years and hated it every ban. Theory and practice are two VERY different things.

Okay lads, here is one topic that i am pretty sure everyone will be interested of.
How long does accounts can last without getting banned?

You can get banned within hours or you can survive without ever getting banned. One of my oldest accounts i am botting on has its 10th birthday this year.

How many accounts can be logged in on one IP?

Depends what kind of ip it is.
There are differences between public institutions using proxies and a private household. For a private household of course, the less the better.

Selling gold price is to low now?

Always depends on whether your return of investment(hardware,software,accounts and electricity) is already reached or not and of course whether your time spent on managing bots is worth it for you or not.


personal oppinion:

Don't focus on one thing (e.g. wow) too much, always have an ear and eye for other games and general stuff that is going on.


Example:

When altcoins became popular (alternate cryptocurrencies – bitcoin alternatives), i totally stopped botting, spent money on new machines/crossfire gpu and started 24/7 coin mining as the return of investment was 10000% higher than wow gold.
With DogeCoins for example (maybe you heard of it) i made more money in 1 week than the complete previous year with wow gold.

Same goes for bitcoin faucet websites, beta keys, cs go skins, or whatever.

Well it depend on is your ip already dirty on VPN but there is not a chance you'll get banned within hours. I made more then 7k euros from botting and never didn't get a ban.

Well of course, another games are now days going pretty betta' then wow but we are talking about wow now

Well that's right mate. But without theory you can not start making a practice.
The thing is, you gonna always have a profit from it. Now, imagine when you have 5-6 good computers and all different internet modems and IP's. How many profit would you make? Step by step you can buy a new comp, then new IP. Easy new keys and accounts are coming so think. I don't know how is in another country but in Serbia one house can have 7 internet modems so that is a really good profit That is like 1000$ for 9-10 days.

Here are some possible difficulties:
- When one account gets detected/reported all accounts running from that PC/IP or having any other connections like payment method will also get banned.
- If we are thinking of same on-demand buyer then here is my experience. Everything went great through 2013. and 2014. but after that gold selling bans started occurring with increased frequency - first after 2 months then after few days of a gold sale. I don't think it was their fault in any way, either Blizz was able to recognize my accounts or their heuristic that "detects" gold selling just became better. Either way, it means that after one sale all remaining gold in gbanks is at risk and has to be unloaded ASAP through Chinese buyers who pay half of on-demand price.
So consider that not all the gold you make will get sold and not all sales will be for 8 cents but closer to 4-5. Then redo the calcs to see if it's still worth it.

Don't get discouraged though, I'm looking forward to reading from you in success stories section.
