If you're paranoid you can always get a VM for each one, and spoof your MAC per VM.

You can't spoof an IP. You can get different VPNs though.
Or, if they ban you, just tell them that you're sharing your internet connection with some other people, like a student-home or something like that.

wtf is spoof? lol when you install a new windows on a VM it will create a new mac address but for each VM I would suggest a new VPN

VMs will use your real MAC via your ethernet port?

A.k.a same MAC on all the VMs.

5 accounts on one PC is not a problem, forget all this VM/MAC crap. Just bot smart, and appeal bans if they come. There is no evidence that suggests that they ban on IP or MAC addresses, at least not with under 25 accounts.

well if i make a mistake then will it not increase the potential of the rest getting banned too?

not really, I've had a few accounts banned over the last 18 months, each time only 1 account get's taken out, even if they share battle.net accounts they don't take out the other wow accounts. I run up to 8 accounts on the same pc constantly.

Also, all the bans have been overturned, but that has a fair bit of luck element and lazy blizzard employees I think.

It should be noted, I'm not selling gold to websites or doing anything to flag myself like sending large volumes of mats via mail/cod or trading gold face to face.

i have been sending alot of mats to my bank alt and selling via CoD... idk how else to do it... smd eventually i wanna sell gold but i guess i can make a vanilla account and vpn and vm that one so it dont get linked.

Also, try to wash it through a few guild banks, just to complicate the trail. If a GM wants to take you out, he needs to do more to trace where it came from, hopefully he'll give up before he get's back to your farmers ;-)

My regular buyers all have there own guild banks for mat storage, and my regular gold buyers have a toon in one of my guild banks, I float say 100k in that guild bank, when he wants gold I will allow his guild rank access to whatever he has bought (Say 25k), after he withdraw's the gold I set his permissions down to no withdrawls.

This way it's less obvoius than if a toon joins a guild, which has just had 25k put it in 5 minutes ago, ninja's 25k and gquits again. That routine would look kind of obvious.

alright thx for the advice
