how many of you bother to change your ip for each bot?

[alfajr]

Carguy used separate IPs.

He got a 7/7 ban. No account was sparred.

Meanwhile, Ive been botting since launch and have 0/12 bans with no VMware or fancy IP/spoofing shenanigan.

So it seems like a complete waste of time and money to me.

No bans, 1-4 bots per machine, botting during the waking hours only, no breaks during those hours, no attempt at all at stealth... It's luck!
Lady Luck is running with my bots at the moment, but just as soon as she gets bored, I'll be well and truly fooked!

Oh yeah, I also run them in groups using the follow me plugin.

Not sure why you guys think *****ing will help. Using proxies alone would be a redflag on their end, as they can tell about 90% of the time when a connection is a ***** (unless you're paying for good ones, with a couple extra applications).
Even if you do get proxies working successfully, many people are getting banned anyway.

and why would that be a flag? lol

i'm using seperate ip on every computer, not every bot..

You'll want at least one IP per bot if each bot is creating 12 games/hour, I mean I've heard of people doing "okay" with 1-6 bots but again that is a lot of games per hour per IP and I believe Blizzard monitors this type of activity. They will probably be returning the input limit with similar restrictions that they had in D2. For now they may have this type of feature enabled in a sort of "invisible mode" for tweaking/data mining/(bot catching?) purposes.

I think it's a waste of money to buy *** and change ip, people bot 6 accounts 24/7 for almost half a year and don't even bother.

Yep, definitely. I don't think there is a winning strategy in keeping your bots alive. Nobody I know uses any stealth strategies. The closest I have is to only run them during waking hours, and that's only because I don't want anything powered up while I sleep.

 

[dragonxdraco]

winning strategy...bot 24/7 and hope for the best, period.

well said

 

[ananas]

u should ask "how many of you still use bots"

 

[xio8up]

Should ask how many people still play diablo 3 lol

Last year I had 4 bots running with different ip, they all got banned in December which had been about 5 months of botting.

I got another 4 accounts but didn't bother to change ip at all, haven't been banned yet (going on 9 months). I only run 2 bots at a time so I don't see the point.

oh...and I've never had sex with your wife, but I like that thing she does with her tongue.

you meat heads stop bumping old threads. coming from a vet botter that made a sweet load of cash when diablo came out, you just bot 24 hours all the time and don't bother with that ip crap/virtual environment crap. Now do me a favor and get the fuck otta the universal equation
