Need input/advice on issues. (transfers, bans, etc)

[neal121]

The other day, I got slammed with bans.

Before the bans, I had:

4 GB bots on 4 different servers
1 AH trader with accounts on all 4 servers
1 gold trader (i do sell/trade the gold)

and after the bans..

I lost:

1 - gold trader account ( no surprise )
2 - botting accounts ( ouch )
1 - my auction house account banned.

So I lost 4 accounts in the last 24 hours.

I still have 2 other botters but im taking them down for a few days for safety while I work on getting HB going to replace the lost accounts.

Now the botting accounts were NOT banned for botting or cheating but banned for their most general reason "Abuse of Economy" so all I can think is that they must have linked them with the trader and seller somehow... so hence im taking down my other 2 bots for a few days.

^^ this is from my post in ban reports.

So I have 2 GB accounts left. I am leaving them down for a little bit.

Heres the thing, the 2 GB bots that did get banned were from toonstorm (bought the accounts). Toonstorm has offered me a 40% discount on another character if I choose to purchase one. They are still looking into the other account.

So... if I purchased another 80 with the discount, put him on a server where I had or have a current bot and used the extra gold to level up his professions (mining and herbalism) then transferred him off to a new server I havent botted yet, how risky is this??? Would it be flagged since I would be transferring him twice?

I do have a new paly leveling with HB currently but it will of course take some time.

What do you guys think? Should I purchase another character (toonstorms rep is good), transfer him to one of my current servers and level professions, then transfer him to a new place?

I am trying to find the safest way to get back to where I was.
