As the title states, I am currently working on building the funding for what will be the largest WoW botting operation in history, (at least the largest run by one person).
By the end of 2014, I plan to have 1k accounts running between 20 different machines. I will only be botting in the U.S. to start.
I have ran my costs and my estimated profit, accounting for everything necessary and not even including the possible new expansion this year.
Reaching this many bots and only selling half the gold would be:
10k per account per day * 1000 = 10,000k (aka 10 mil).
Each account will be bringing in $8 a day after the game time is paid for, (which is approx 50c if you are paying the $15 a month. I probably would take that option for each one using virtual credit cards to avoid losing game time to the inevitable bans).
I'll be paying 20 employees daily to make sure the bots run smoothly, $40 a day each. That's -$800 for the upkeep.
After all this, I won't sell all the gold. It won't be possible to. I'll probably end up only being able to get rid of half of it. $3,600 a day at this point.
Then accounts will be banned. 10+ a day at least. -$600 for new bare bones accounts with one 90 on it, (mining + herb maxed). I'll contract a company to continuously do this for me.
In the U.S, 3k a day after self employed taxes is about $2k a day. That's $60k a month, just shy of a million dollars a year.
2015 is going to be an awesome year.
