My 3 accounts got banned too. 7 days after account creation (last 2 days spent in firelands).
Very interesting. My situation is very similar, as they got banned 9 days after creation, and also 2 days into the farm.
I propose that all of us who got banned doing this profile chip in with all the information we have, in order to look for the common pattern.
Here's a detailed description of the 9 days:
All 5 accounts ran from the same IP and game folder. E-mails were of the form
[email protected]; a not well-known throwaway e-mail generator.
Because of the gold price, I chose NA Illidan, horde.
I ran 5 orcs; a monk tank, a shaman healer and 3 hunters. Names were generated using blizz name generator.
I handleveled them all to 20, because my buddy told me there are wires all over 1-20 questing, and they'd probably get banned before even reaching level cap.
I threw them into dungeons until 90, about 18 hours a day, for 3 days.
In order to gear them for warlords dungeons (average item level 500), I used the default Draenor questing profile for 90-92. After that, thrown into dungeons till 100 again.
They ran heroics for about 3 days, but they really sucked at doing it. They constantly wiped, and Honorbuddy + Singular was so,
so bad at healing with shaman.
On top of that, there were a bunch of bugs in the warlords dungeons. meshes getting fucked up, tacts being heavily fumbled, etc...
I tried tweaking them a lot, but they only ever did a mediocre job. The monk was fucking MVP though. The hunters were allright, the shaman was complete dogshit.
I quickly realized that smashing heroics no longer worked in legion (either that or my group just sucked), so i resolved to simply use them to experiment.
I loaded this profile and made them use it 24/7. 2 days later they were all dead, and from the looks of the log, almost at the exact same time.
My banker, whom I also logged on the same IP and game folder, was left untouched.
The gph was very good. The monk had a solid 1500-2000. The others were kinda shitty because they lacked either reliable self-heal (hunter) or AoE (shaman). Died about once an hour. Probably about 800-1000 for them.
That's about all I can say. Let's get to the bottom of this, shall we?
+-1800 gph for a battle chest account is damn good, multiplied by 5 if a configuration is made where everyone is as insane as that monk.
Anyway, everyone who got banned that had anything to do with this profile, write your experience here. Let's find the pattern.
It's blatantly obvious they were banned by the Warden algorithm, so we can outsmart this.
PS. Did you play on a PvP server, gruby? I got a feeling that might be a clue. I saw a lot of skeletons outside the instance, I don't think it's entirely impossible somebody reported them after fucking around with them, and realizing they were bots.
Be sure to include the
run-time/day of your bots. It might be as easy as programming them to take breaks.
