Well, I am grad student at standford....I have two years left so I do have more to learn.
If you read my first post more carefully you would see that I merely mentioned ways to "Stay under the Radar". Yes, if blizzard decided to look into my account; they would see that I was botting. However, they have not done so because my activity has not caused them to be suspicious of me. If they got a list of emails that they believe could be attached to hacked accounts, they could go to their database and see if the emails are connected to any current user accounts...then they could investigate you further and so on.
I never said they can track your IP from Paypal.
I never said they could track DB payments from Paypal.
I also never mentioned IP tracking or Item tracking. What I did say is that there are log files that store your activity into a database whenever you log in and out out of this game. My post is how to make your log files look less suspicious.
What I did say is that IF THEY WANTED TO they could view your paypal email address and use it to find your account on the radar.
Please read more carefully
Also, people drop trash items all the time in this game. Keeping logs on dropped items is a hell of a lot more time consuming then looking up trades.
The problem is, you didn't say a hellova lot of anything- except some tips at the end of which don't really matter at all. Dropping trash is super different from dropping some 1500dps xbow. Don't you think they'd monitor this type of thing just as easily as any trade windows, if not EVEN FURTHER? Think about it, imagine someone could find a bug to make you drop your inventory- this is why this type of thing would definitely be monitored.
Let's read "carefully," so you can understand why I thought what I did.
"1. Developers, I really hope the paypal account you have tied to the "DONATE" button is not the same paypal account on your Bnet. All I have to do is click that donate...and I know who you are. "
So, the people that made HB- they don't have just 1 account on Bnet. If they did, it probably would be different and to a different email than the paypal account. This is how businesses work. For organization and accounting purposes, you have many different things and you wouldn't do something like mixing all your accounts into one batch. That makes tracking things incredibly difficult. On to your next point... "all I have to do is click that to donate and I know who you are." Uhh, WHAT the HELL are you saying here? You don't know who anyone is, you have a name and an email. Could be connected to a legitimate person, could be connected to a phantom account that is only used to xfer funds. You'd never know the difference. And you don't get any IPs or anything, so... NO CLUE wtf you're even hinting at here. This is read EXTREMELY CAREFULLY. So don't tell me to read carefully, when you can't be bothered to explain yourself in a coherent matter... as a grad student, I figured you wouldn't be so full of yourself. You sound like a computing science first year undergrad- wishing and thinking he was a grad student.
2. Do not use the same emails and user names that you use on this forum with your bnet account OR ANY SOCIAL MEDIA. We caught a small fry in Florida a week ago because I traced his Twitter account name to his XBOX Live account name which were almost identical, and OH LOOKY! his xbox live account is tied to his FACEBOOK.....didnt make much of a difference that he always tweeted about his hacks over a Prox.y at that point lol
Yea? Really? Okay. Most people know this already, if they don't- most people that use cheating applications know this already, if they don't, most people who have ever done something they didn't want everyone and their dog to find out about know this already. EVEN SO, Blizz would never use any of these means to ban people. Purchasing a product, talking about it, doing anything like that- does not confirm that you are using it. Even if you posted a youtube video of you using it, and linked the account- they would have to personally watch the video- confirm it's a bot- confirm you're the one botting on that account... and EVEN THEN, it's extremely tough for them to ban you.
NEEXXXXXXXXXXXT:
They have software that fishes through logs of game data and flags your account if your activity correlates their "bot" template.
No, this is an assumption and incorrect. They might have software that monitors equipment, but they never would say, "Hey, this guy has a bow that gives X, and so do all botters, plus with all their Life on hit... definitely everyone wearing equipment like this is a botter." If somehow you're not talking about equipment... and you mean the patterns of walking- then we already know and assume this- and you have not given a solution. So... thanks tips.
Makes NO SENSE. This is all using your words, so don't tell me to read carefully- otherwise you're going to be read into and you're going to be the one made a fool of.
Next:
If I worked in Blizzards anti-bot department, I would:
look at the top 5% of players that have the highest trade of Gold.
If you worked at blizz, they'd be just as stumped as they are now. Of course they look at the top 5% of players that have the highest gold earned, xp per day, items sold on the auction house... and then they monitor what they're doing using screening software. This is standard for EVERYTHING in life. Not just D3. This, in no way, explains how people are banned within 5 minutes- or before they reach 60, or anything of the sort.
"They are finding you based on how you transfer your items/gold."
I don't know ANYONE that uses trades over using the AH. The AH is the ultimate launderer. This shows your ignorance to the subject.
"How to stay under the radar:
If you have an item that you want to transfer from one account to another account DO NOT TRADE THE ITEM!
1. Go into a public game with your bot and your main and maybe some friends.
2. Leave the city and go into a dungeon where their are enemies.
3. DROP all of the items that your bot has on him.
4. pick up all of the items with your main."
This process is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of in my entire life. As a software engineer, explain to me the difference between dropping trash in a town and dropping it in a dungeon? You think there's some line of code somewhere: "If item dropped in town, then log and send to blizz hq for warden rape. Else, forget completely about item dropped- regardless of stats."
This is malarkey.
"Also,
Do not buy and Resale in the AH a lot. Only buy what your going to use and sell what you don't need. They do flag accounts that buy items just to resell them for quick profit. "
This is all over the blizz forums, anyone that does any research knows this. This isn't anything new and insightful that you've shared with the public, so don't act like you just delivered the golden chalice. You haven't.
I just read and quoted your entire post. I did this "carefully" and in context. Don't tell me to read carefully son, I'm actually a grad student.
Thanks for your 3 posts, all of which have been in this thread. You're a pillar to the community with your lies and deceit.
CLOSE THIS THREAD PLEASE.
